Aragon 2.1

At my fuel stop. Grabbed some lunch too.

Run down has been really nice. Clear blue skies and a nice temperature, in the 20s.  Funny how 50mph seems plenty when the weather is decent, yet far too slow when it's pissing down and you just want to get to destination. 

Not seen any deer today but did pass Futuroscope in Poitiers, to which I have been. Once when I took the girls, on the infamous "are we going to die daddy?" trip and once with Cath and her kids.

Just gone 2pm as I write, so I'm thinking of taking the non motorway route to Moustey. That should eat up about 3.5 hours. See how I feel.


Aragon 2 point oh

Woke about 7:30. Dozed till 8. Got washed/dressed and went down for solo brekkie. Somewhat less than a full continental but ok.

Sun is streaking in the room, though it's a bit on the windy side. Forecast is for 28 degrees after lunch. Rain over the Pyrenees but I'll not be that far south today

I have a 5 or 6 hour ride today, depending on whether I avoid motorways or not.  Check in at my b&b isn't till 17:00, so I'm not rushing to leave the hotel. Check out is till 11:30. I didn't see anything of interest to stop at today, else I'd have built that in. Fuel stop is 205 miles away, 2h40m. That's when you'll next hear from me I expect.

Laters.
