13th June 2010 Mt. Biking: Lac Chambon-France Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny then very wet Max Speed: Distance Covered: After a good nights sleep Half way up the Col St. Robert overlooking Lac Chambon with only the cows in the neighbouring field as company, so with breakfast finished and the sun out I had the mad idea to get the bikes off and have a whizz down the windy mountain road to the Lac and hope we could get back !!! The road section was fun and fast and like going the wrong way around the Isle of Mann TT with motorbike haring up the mountain toward you !!! The fields were full of mountain flowers and were stunning as were the cows with bells :) Then half way down we found a foot path and had a great bumpy time off the beaten track ,passing old farms ,grand houses and pretty hamlets with fishermen in mountain stream !!! We were half way round the Lac and decided to head to Murol to see the castle on the hill and buy bread and cheese for dinner!!! The first part went well as we found a shop but then got completely lost trying to find our way back to the Lac in a thunder storm !!! So we sheltered under some pines and had our picnic lunch and waited for the rain to pass. We found our way back to the Lac, more rain, coffee stop, complete Lac circuit, more rain Then start the 2 hour trek up to our van !!! It rained most of the way and had to walk the first part up the track as very steep but managed to bike the road section and we made to our van :) before it got dark in time to put the bed down, take ibuprofen read a little and hope we could walk in the morning !!!! |
