We saw a very small amount of snow in the Town Square yesterday but this morning the temperature is, thankfully, just above freezing. Jane collected the bread this morning and, after a quick breakfast, we set off on our next leg – another 4 + hour journey.
After two days of camperstops, we wanted a little more luxury and electricity, so we chose a campsite at Mamers just north of Le Mans.
On the journey, I fulfilled one of my life ambitions, I drove on the Le Mans racetrack. Although we didn't go through the centre of Le Mans, the road from Tours goes through the outskirts of Le Mans where the circuit is located. The first indication that I had was when I saw an area to the side of the road lined with tyres and separated from the road by temporary bollards. I then noticed that the barriers on the sides of the road were very high and then the penny dropped. After that much of the road was incorporated in the circuit and we were glad that we hadn't attempted to follow this route when the race was on!
The satnav couldn't locate the campsite exactly but with the skillful assistance from my navigator, we soon found at Saosnoix, Mamers and chose our pitch. The campsite is located next to two small lakes, one for swimming and one for fishing but, given the temperature, we decided not to have a swim and fishing seemed less attractive than ever.
