Walking backwards...

 

With no walk yesterday due to this strange spell of weather, I can go back to the last Monday walk we did around Le Grand-Pressigny which I hadn't posted.

Weather to walk or not...

Yesterday we decided to walk to Barrou and back and take in lunch at les Tilleuls. We were a wee bit unsure as to the weather as the forecast was predicting rain for the afternoon. We decided that it was worth the risk and as we headed over all was looking promising.


As we arrived in Barrou it was good tocsee that spring was on its way.


Had lunch then made a little detour along the Creuse to see if they had tried to do anything with the rear garden at 'Le Bourg', sadly not! We then had a little chat with old neighbours which meant that the bad weather was just a bit ahead of us.

We almost made it back to La Guerche but those little diversions probably were enough to cause us to be caught out!

A Sunday walk...

 

Took a walk over the Creuse up into the woods behind Le Petite Guerche yesterday as anticipated today's walk would be cancelled due to the weather, hard to believe on such a beautiful afternoon!

This week's walk...at Monteboeuf.


There was no Monday walk this week but we were invited on Wednesday over to Chris and Sally's to walk around 'Monteboeuf' after which they provided a lovely lunch.

A week of walks...



We started our week of walks with our walking group on an excellent walk at Le Louroux (here). Then on Wednesday we headed over to the climb on the Le Grand-Pressigny side of the D750.



We added an extra kilometre onto the walk by being nosey and walking this road (and back) to the property at the end of it as a friend had said they had walked it in error and were surprised to find the grand house at the end o it! It happens to be the home of a former mayor of Barrou and her husband. 


Thursday had us crossing the Creuse for another climb (top pic) up into the woods behind La Petite Guerche. 




A view back at the chateau through a small clearing.


Not sure why this tree just didn't take the direct route to the sky!


Yesterday's walk was to Barrou and Lunch at the restaurant then a walk back (9km total) which included popping into friends in the village for a catch-up.
