Sunday 27th April - Royan to Hourtin Port - Pissing in the Pins

Georges' rider's notes for the day read, wind, wind, sand and rain!!!

Ferry crossing of the Gironde was fine, if a little choppy. On the face of it, a great voie verte south but not so enjoyable today . . . sand blasted faces every time we nearer a beach and fairly constant rain through the pine forests for most of the day.

Mid morning, Myrtle noticed a potential buckle in Georges rear but little change was visible for the following 50km so, one to watch at potentially repair.

Day closes with knickers hanging in the tent
