[WESTY66]

With great wine

And food

And food

Perhaps that’s a step too far

Hey Lenny, Banana custard! You really are pushing that boat out........haven't had that in years and so simple, but right tasty! Enjoy.

Lovely little Aire just outside the lot region, little village with shops and bar but also on cycle path that goes in several directions including into Sarlat.
And it’s free

With the 3 routes on the voie verte thread.

Sarlat was a great ride. And we like Grolejac aire a lot. Can swim in the dordogne under the bridge (disused railway one) about 800 m away.

The Aire by the river is nicer & free but I ly about 6 spaces we got one last time, the car park was full of old wrecks.

Just left Cahors today. 3 spaces at the Aire ( all full) and about 30 vans in the nearby carpark. We has a nice visit but for our overnight stay we have headed East along the Lot. Bit cloudy bit nice and warm. Rain forecast, but we're heading back towards Dieppe anyway.

Lazy day today didn't set off until nearly 1pm. Now at one of our favourite stop overers, Courville-sur-Eure. Didn't get a hedged pitch but hay ho it's free what's not to like.

At least you don't need secateurs for the brambles though. I keep meaning to put a pair in the van.

Have a great trip and you don't need to do any filming especially for me .

 

[Mr porky]

If you ate some of those fray bentos pies stashed in the larder cupboard that will reduce your payload

Only use them for wheel chocks.

My cooking must be an embarrassment to you.

What was the name of that delicious French cheese you had at Hereford?

Great place , you can hire a canoe 100 yards away at the bridge
And travel down water a couple of miles then get picked up and returned at start point
This was our neighbour when we were there

I agree with Lenny, I resent every penny of the cost of full air. But wouldn't be without it now. The boss thinks it's fantastic and worth every penny.
So, WIN, WIN She loves the Lithium and the new wheels and tyres as well. So I must be doing something right.
Have a great trip Lenny.

Best I can do so far.

 

[OldAgeTravellers]

That's daft, He could easily have waited 5 seconds to let you out. That's the for you.

 

[Russell's Dad]

Happy travels. No stink bugs on the Lot thus far.

I'm sorry I've no idea. Unless it was a camabert type with a blue cheese centre and if it was morbier cheese.

I missed the part of the video where the bus driver thanked you for reversing.

What a plonker, or as we say up north "wassack"

 

[PxJ]

You must have the patience of a Saint!!

 

[DBK]

Was thinking about spending a few days in the Lot as we always drive through it not visited it for over 30 years, Portugal is out due to the fires.

Post #220 onwards on this thread covers what I thought were the best bits of the Lot when we drove it from end to end. There's an aire at St Cirq Lapopie. We intended to visit it on this trip but missed by a hundred kilometres or so as we headed south!

Two Go to Corsica

Never realised you were crazyguyonabike .... I read all your blog posts before we did our big cycle tour ?. Great inspiration and good for planning too. Just for clarity I'm not the actual crazy guy, he's American I think. I just used his website. :)

Yep, he stopped and then carried on and I had at least 3 cars behind me.

if it was morbier cheese.

That's the one
I hope Lidl have it can't afford to shop anywhere else in France.

Actually they do

Lenny, what wattage is the hot plate?

It's 2000 watts but when you turn it down it doesn't pluse at full power like some do.
First time I tried it I had the air fryer running and the inverter tripped out, turned it down and every thing was fine.

Its a game changer it responds so quick to temp changes absolutely brilliant, it's only a cheap Daewoo one.

 

[Riverbankannie]

Happy travels Dad, I hear germanys nice this time of year

Just arrived in Germany and at Berchesgarden to visit Eagles Nest. Went online to book tickets and it says closed until 25 th due to heavy snowfall !!

 

[Lenny HB]

This trip is getting boring another place we have stopped at a couple of times before.

Now just outside the village of Luant a free Aire behind a little restaurant by a fishing lake.

Not many fish in the lake this year.

Boring food as well, chilli at least it was made with home grown chillis.

Instant pud.

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

Yep, he stopped and then carried on and I had at least 3 cars behind me.

Afraid he would still be there if that was medon’t mind reversing but he only had to go back a few meters and you would have got past

Would hope you gave him the friendly handshake

Lidl certainly have Morbier 'au lait cru' in two different packs and age. One of my favourites.

That would have been fine for uncle Lenny HB he doesn’t like it too hot and of course he could have tested the insulation in the new van! Win win

I wondered how long it would be until you turned the conversation to your favourite subject-fishing!
