Sam and Dave’s blog

I’ve been wanting to do one hundred kilometres in a day on our bike just to see if we can…. and of course we can! From Castillon la Bataille (site of the last battle of the one hundred years war where the English lost to the French), breakfast in tiny village with very friendly Manu and then through Ste Foy la Grande to an excellent market. And through lots of wiggly country lanes to St Alvère. St Alvère is very cute little town. The last ten kms hurt a lot! And the uphill to the campsite was hard work.

We were knackered at the end of it but feeling good Now taking it easy and off to see some cave paintings.

Hope you’re all well. love Sam xxx
