18th September 2010 Kayaking - Surf Skiing: St Leon sur Vezere - France Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny periods Max Speed: Distance Covered: Got up about 8 and had breakfast then decided to drive along the river where we canoed yesterday and a bit further then take the road going upwards from St. Cyprien through Campagne to Les Evies which is on the river Vezere. There were some amazing caves and houses cut into the cliff by prehistoric people. We stopped at Leon-sur-Vezere which was a lovely town complete with chateau on the river. There was a municipal campsite right on the river too with all the facilities, washing up, loos etc in the town square! Sounds terrible but very tastefully done. We crossed the river to the canoe hire place and decided to have our lunch then take a canoe for a couple of hours. We set off at just gone 1 and canoed until 3.30 when the guy came to pick us up. We arrived at exactly the same time as him. It was lovely, not so many fish (hardly any and definitely no big ones) but saw another 4 kingfishers, a heron. There are loads of shells outside holes in the bank so we think they must be otters as we think coypu are veggie. We canoed past some fantastic overhanging cliffs with lots of ferns hanging down from them. The river goes right underneath the trogladite caves and the house cut into the cliff so it was very interesting. Had a coffee and cake when we got back then set off to find the main road out of the Dordogne:( We went to the supermarket at Terrasson Lavilledley to get some diesel and some French food bits and pieces to take home for dan. We reached Vierzon about 120 miles short of paris at about 8.30 and stopped in the services there for the night and had a real concoction of everything from the fridge for tea. Rob texted us to tell us Ipswich won so he was pleased. |
