[QUOTE="roving_rufus, post: 1149863, member: 21017"] Day 9 Surgeres to Saint Savinien 31km So the first and last sign I saw for this route was the brand new shiny one in the centre of Surgeres- not a single other marker. I was relying on route notes and gpx completely. After yesterday's horrible afternoon storms, more were forecast for today so I set off at 5.30am hoping to beat them out. The first 18.5km to Tonnay-Boutonne were mainly on tracks and grass lanes. And I timed it perfectly - coming into town I could see black clouds, and I was across the street from the bar when the first big drops of rain fell. So I had an extended coffee break, but it was all over in 30 minutes-rain, thunder and lightning. So onwards, I decided due to threats of thunderstorms to shortcut the next section reducing by 1.5km but also meant I missed about 2km of lanes and staying on the road. It did mean I also arrived in Saint Savinien for lunch (France starts serving lunch at 12noon and really you need to be sitting down by around 1pm-ish in many places). Now feeling quite full - it is off to the campsite (by way of the shop and bakery) and hoping for no more thunderstorms! [/QUOTE]
