Well and truly into the depths of winter. We headed for an aire at Leucate Plage between Perpignan and Narbonne. I am sure that it would be wonderful in the summer, mais en hiver...brrr. Managed a beauty treatment as we walked along the beach...the combination of wind and sand took a few layers of skin off...who needs clinique?!
Our next adventure had us looking for another aire at Valras Plage, on the coast north of Narbonne. Unfortunately we got shunted by a far sighted motorist that didn't spot the 8.5m long beast in front of him...thankfully we were undamaged due to the under-run bar that Bill fitted to the back. After that we went back to Narbonne Plage aire for some r&r. Josh kept out of the trees this time! Preferring the safety of rugby on the beach...
Damn the sat nav...we went north again, heading for the centre of France. I had hoped to have an easy drive up the motorway, but the technology had other ideas! I got sent up incredibly narrow and twisty roads, with snow piled up the verges and freezing mist in the valleys. I may have been pooping myself, but rest assured, Bill was worse!
We ended up in another aire this time really in the sticks just west of Lozère.
