Yesterday's randonnée...gimme shelter


It had been a few weeks since Pauline and I had walked with our randonnée club so after a lovely morning yesterday here in Southern Touraine we were looking forward to getting back out there. We headed over towards Abilly and as we set out it wasn't long before the weather took a turn for the worse. It had been forecast so there was plenty of brollies in evidence.

We were not far into the walk when we had to seek shelter from what was a heavy downpour, as luck would have it we immediately found some shelter under a large barn which saved us from a soaking.

After the worst was over we continued our walk...
you can see the result of the shower underfoot but we marched on...
with the sky still looking a little menacing!
Walking in the woods in autumn does bring its rewards. The walk took us through the woods over towards the Descartes / Barrou road and looking over towards Leugny, before re-entering them back towards Abilly. 

Every picture tells a story - by this time we were all a bit 'drookit' and some of us chickened out of continuing on the planned route and sought out the refuge of our cars - which by this time were a joy to behold!
