Went on another walk yesterday morning with Mike and Liz over at Angles-sur-l'Anglin and before doing so Pauline picked a map (?) of the proposed route. There are a number of good choices around the village, we choose to take the one that takes you up on the highground overlooking the river.
It is a bit of a climb but once you are up there the great vista is worth it.
You then descend back down to pick up the narrow shaded 'chemins'.
At one point we had to step aside to give way to this horse and cart which took up the width of the track.
So far so good - following the 'marked' route wasn't always easy as the markings sometimes proved difficult to find, especially at locations where you had a 'choice'! Pauline had proved to be our most reliable 'spotter' but even she came unstuck at points.
We ended up doing an extra two and a half kilometres as we all scratched our heads and phones trying to get back on th actual route. We were under a wee bit of pressure as we had booked a table for lunch and were running late!
We ended up returning to the village from the other side on a long stretch of the D2 - Pauline and I were familiar with this part of the route as the 'directions' had defeated us on a previous try. We all cheered as the village came back into view and ended up only 15 minutes late to take a lovely lunch on the terrace of No15.
