Cumières

29th August

We are now in Cumières, which is a free, village mooring with electricity and water. There is a big race going on here this weekend, involving cycling, running, canoeing and shooting. We’ve had ringside seats for the canoeing. This morning we cycled to Hautvillers, the home of Dom Perignon and a really pretty village. (Cycled isn’t quite true – there is a very steep hill which we walked up and zoomed down.) The weather is crap, it’s Sunday so I am lazing around. Pity as it is a truly beautiful place.

The river is quite full with a 1 ½ Kts. current in the right direction. Good for a trip tomorrow. Roll on the Indian summer.
