Rain, Hills, near crashes, achilles tendon sprained, split toe, more rain.
Came down the direct route of the D990 which cut the distance to only 45 miles, because of the rain, so we were in Aubusson by lunch, but not without incident and pain, we climbed to over 2000 ft, we hadn't planned for hills, assuming France was pretty much flat until Dordogne!
Whilst I was flying down one of the hills, a camper van failed to see me as he cut across to make a left turn, I had no chance to take evasive action, due to speed (35mph), and rain, and was therefore destined to hit him full on. he spotted me at the last moment and I managed to squeeze through the small gap left on my side of the road. A very sobering moment.
Aubusson is lovely, however the dramatic thunder storm has kept us from exploring fully. This however has given steph the chance to dry some of the clothes and the shoes with a hair dryer, whilst I rest up and nurse my sprained achilles and split toe. I have strapped up my ankle with insulation tape.. Looking Good!.. Picture to follow
