A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.
Sunday, 17th July
On Saturday evening we'd all met up to go to a 'Banquet' in the village centre. 14€ and not really enough food, there was terrine, aubergine flan and then pork cheeks (which were very tasty).
It was good company though and I got to meet some of the other recumbent riders who'd come for the week. Fond farewells were bid, since I was planning on leaving the next day, Sunday. However, it rained, all night and was still raining heavily the next morning too, so I decided to stay put. In fact I wrote these notes at midday on Sunday in my sleeping bag since it was cold.
A pity about the rain, not because I couldn't leave, I was happy to stay, but because it had spoiled some of the celebrations scheduled for the Sunday.
This was taken on Sunday afternoon. In the centre of Allègre, was this ruin, from the top of which you have magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding country'side.
By the way, if you're interested in knowing more about Allègre and the region here's a link to a guide.
I must say, if you're at all interested in human power and/or recumbents, you really should try to make it to the next VPH festival, I had such a good time, everyone I met was great company, was incredibly helpful and were lovely people.
This is that section of the campsite which was largely occupied by the VPH contingent. A very nice campsite it was too, though the sanitaire block was a little primitive it was, nonetheless, very clean.
