Les Mures (Contd)

Sunday, 1st April 2018


What a night, howling gale, everyone running around taking their awning in!

Not much better in the morning, still blowing a gale, it looks as if Kathleen's church plan (ie cycle to the church in St Maxime, for 11:00) are not going to happen, it will be a walk to Port Grimaud for 18:30, I suspect.

Hair care has commenced, so, that is the morning taken care of!

Excellent lunch at the onsite Bistro, we were even able to sit outside in the sun.

Sunday evening Kathleen does the church bit, at Port Grimaud.

Meanwhile, I wander the marina, looking at the expensive boats moored there.

Bright sunny morning.

Kathleen has plans to attend the church in Grimaud Village, for at least some of the Weekends we are here.

Accordingly, we set off to cycle to Grimaud, this morning. It is only about 5 miles away, and, fortunately, we do not have a map with contours marked. I say fortunately, because, if we had, I am sure we would not have set off on this excursion.

Other than a rather dicey road junction as we leave the coast road and join the D61A, it is, initially, easy going, ie, fairly flat.

Grimaud is a medieval hill top village, towards the four mile mark, we come to the hill, if goes up for about three quarters of a mile.

This is Kathleen, looking all very serene, at a bar, at the top of the hill. 

However, I think all plans to cycle here, and up the hill, to the church on the top, on a Sunday, have been quietly forgotten!

One consolation of course, it is almost all downhill, on the way back! Although, as often happens in these circumstances, the wind has got up, and, is blowing in our faces
