It took us three hours to walk to the bridge on the old road near Pouance. We set up tarpaulins in an area of ground just off that road that I must have driven along past the spot a thousand times I never imagined I would be camping here on my way to an adventure.
I am definitely not used to walking with a heavy pack and the extra 55 pounds takes it's toll on legs and back. I know that I will sleep well tonight even if it does look as if thunderclouds are gathering. Jeremy looks very comfortable in his hammock and is reading a book just like the inveterate long-distance hitchhiker that he is. We covered ten kilometers today which is not bad for the first effort but hoping to cover 20 tomorrow. Still, We had set out late from home as the day had been so hot that it was useless to try to travel in such heat. Anyway, there's no real schedule so never mind.
We ate tinned cassoulet for supper. A diet to which we will no doubt become very accustomed as it is calorific, cheap and easy to carry in its tin. Perhaps more dried food would be lighter but not nearly so convenient.
We found wild plums too!
