| Pont de L'Arche to Theillay - 163 miles |
The sky did indeed turn
clear resulting in a cold night with a frost still hanging around as
we surfaced, at a reasonable hour for a change. The heating however
soon made it comfortable for breakfast before tidying up, emptying
the waste tanks and rubbish bin then heading on out into a totally
different day to yesterday. A bright and clear morning with only
light traffic made quite a difference!
Initially sticking to
our usual route we passed Evreux, Dreux then Chartres but then headed
for Orleans, rather than Tours, as we had planned a more easterly
journey for a change, which also avoided the long, slow and boring
N10. Instead we took the N20, now called the D2020. To be honest it
wasn't a lot different, just more of the same scenery but plenty of
towns we haven't seen before.
Approaching Orleans we
spotted an Aldi so called in for some shopping and a latish lunch.
Then a few miles further on we refuelled at a LeClerc to ensure we
didn't get caught out if there was a fuel shortage, although we saw
no sign of any problems.
The next major town on
our route was Vierzon, quite a way on a dead straight road. Although
there was a choice of stopping points after Vierzon we decided to
check out a quiet looking spot, just off the main road, at Theillay
which is some miles short. Really just a bit of gravelled over spare
land with a home made service point (again no water) next to the Fire
Station and cemetery – so no noise from the neighbours! Initially
we were on our own but were joined by another motorhome just after
dark. Perfectly adequate for an overnight stop so we called it a day
and put the kettle on before settling down for the night, which looks
like it might be another cool one despite several weather forecasters
proclaiming it to be “unseasonably warm” whatever that means!
Sorry there's no photos
up to now, nothing really special to see. Even the roundabout art has
been very poor this year, but at least there is a map to show where
we are.
