Week 2 Day 2

We woke up in our beautiful camping spot in the forest of Fontaineblue completely unsuspecting of how tough today would be. Having checked the weather forecasts (thunderstorms tomorrow) we decided to cycle as far as possible today so took on 85 miles, with the last third in the rain! Everyone did really well, pushing past the desire to collapse/book a hotel room/buy a moped. The van team did an incredible job of finding Martin who runs a donkey sanctuary. Martin showed us his mind-bogglingly-beautiful house that he built for himself and plied us with cheese and home-made wine, and most importantly, had a fire that we could de-thaw ourselves by before heading to our tents.
