We were a little late to get going this morning, around 10.30 am but never mind we should have plenty of time as the route plan says it will take around six hours and approx 290 miles to get to our next destination which is the site at Chateau Du Poinsouze which is near a little town called Boussac.
Our journey took us via Evreux to Chartres where the huge Cathedral dominates the skyline from every direction and then following the fast N road until we joined the A 10 north of Orleans and then connected with the A 71 which took us to Vierzon and finally on to the A20 to Chateauroux and then finally down some country lanes for about an hour until we arrived at Boussac at around 5.45 pm. It was extremely hot today with temperatures showing around 33 degrees centigrade and with bright sun it made it quite a tiring drive. This is the first time we have been to this site, part od our new plans to not always visit the same places, and first impressions were excellent. As the the first thing you need to do when you arrive is visit the wash block and this one is something else and worthy of most sport clubs.
Anyway it took us about an hour to get set up, each site has direct connections for electricity and water and waste water which make life very easy indeed before we headed of the the restaurant for dinner and a nice glass of Bourgeon Aligote which went down well with the ‘fish of the day’
With dinner finished we headed in to the bar to watch Germany play Spain and you could say there was hardly any competition for Spain who pretty much dominated the game and I think Germany only had two shots on goal whilst Spain was sending them from every angle.
Quite a tiring day really and it was still quite hot when we went to bed.
