Friday 29th May 2015 – Bike ride **** 9 n/ miles - sunny
We woke to a beautiful calm etang with fish jumping out of the water and
landing sometimes up to three times!! The Gt. White Egret was still
fishing in the same place and it was gloriously sunny and warm:) We laid
and read our books with the door open and by the time we got up the wind
had picked up, there were windsurfers out and a batch of teenage school
kids having lessons!
I decided to join them and went out for 2 ½ hours. We had lunch then got
the bikes off and biked a lovely route through back lanes and tracks to
Mandriac lock. You go along the road with the etang on the right and lots
of little sluices and ditches on the left with reeds and birds all around.
Mag biked this when we were here last time and thought I had done it with
her but it turns out she did it twice by herself!! We did 9 n. miles and
were out a couple of hours. There were even two boats in the lock!! Came
back to the van and went to the beach on the other side of Port Nautique to
see how many camper vans were in! Back for a cuppa and read/doze. It was
really hot but after a while it clouded over and the sky turned quite
black! Had a tinned tea as we are running low on fresh supplies but it was
very tasty (steak, mince, potatoes, peas and carrots) and reminded us of
Mag’s dear Mum, Mabel, who specialised in this kind of caravan tea:) We
sat outside to eat it as the weather still hadn’t made up its mind
whether to rain or not! Gorgeous stormy sky at sunset.
