Some idiot has used the sign as a shotgun target 😞
Sorry about last night's blog - it was a literary masterpiece 😃. I must have tried at least 20 times to publish it last night. When we finally got to a place with a half decent phone signal this morning it said 'no drafts on phone' 😭.
Tonight is looking a bit tricky as well (no WiFi) so the pictures may have to be added later.
Today we have rolled through some nice countryside, initially through the Jura and latterly, according to the roadsigns, the Doubs. These are areas of mostly coniferous woodland and farmland but with interesting limestone outcrops, escarpments and gorges. The climbs are less severe than the ones we have become accustomed to in previous day's, although they still go on a bit! I think it was the climb to Col de Berentin which I characterised as the climb which just keeps giving - each time it seemed we were at the top it would drop a bit and then, around the next bend, carry on up 😞. This afternoon we followed one really nice tiny road beneath limestone cliffs for about 10km. The only other traffic we came across was one car and a couple of motorbikes.
Tonight we have stopped 18km short of our intended target because we could find no accommodation (with any kind of online presence) there. We decided we would stop if we spotted a hotel along the road after we had done 150km. So, here we are at Censeau after covering 156km and climbing 2447m. We have now done 90 cols and we are up to 3647km of our 4081km according to the routesheet.
