We are getting better at packing up camp, although we were the last of the walkers/velo campers to leave.

We didn’t even stop for a coffee at the local tobac.

We were soon rewarded by pushing our bikes up a steep hill, which brought us to a superU shop, were Jo purchased some water to see us through the day.

Following the EV6 seems quite easy now we recognise the signs. But it’s frustrating having been directed, off a nice flat paths, up and down hills only to find we could have stayed on our original track.

So from now on we will be double checking to see if there is an easier route.

Having said that, we did push our bikes up a detour route with a gradient of 12%. at Le Marconnay. This took us took us through the troglodyte village.

We were then sent away from the river and travelled through vineyards in the heat of the afternoon. I think the temp got upto 36°C

We stopped to look at the camping Isle Vert. This was €30 and looked busy and crowded. So we carried on even though we felt exhausted.

We carried on and found Les Terre de Belle Rive after another 2.5 km. This campsite cost us €24 including a large bottle of cold apple juice, a baguette and 2 pain au chocolate for tomorrow.
