Millau...

On Tuesday morning I awoke to the sound of rain hitting my tent, not exactly something I am used to on this trip and so I did the best thing and went back to sleep.  When I woke up later the rain had stopped but it was quite windy.   The day turned out to be a mixture of sun and clouds and whilst the tent dried very quickly it got me thinking that it may be a good idea to leave early.  The last thing I wanted was to wake up to a wet day on Wednesday and have to pack everything away in the rain. With this in mind I packed up in the afternoon and set off for Millau, home of the world's highest suspension bridge.  The added bonus to this being that Wednesday's journey to Limoges would be a little shorter.  It was quite a short ride to Millau, just over an hour and a half but the dark clouds were chasing me and it was freezing!!  After muttering to myself for about an hour about the cold I got my first look at the bridge and it looks pretty impressive.  Here are some photos of my first view of it and the surrounding area and I hope you enjoy them.  Tomorrow before heading to Limoges I hope to cross it, weather permitting.

  1. Hiya Rob, Welcome back to the real world - it had to happen sometime.Nick says 'about time'. Wet tents and wet knickers are not nice. He knows all about that. The sun is actually shining here today - we have borrowed it for a bit, hope you don't mind. Hope you got over the bridge without any wobbles. Have a nice day tomorrow. Cheers, Chris :-))
