Lapalisse to Premery – Thursday 20th September


Freezing cold morning! Crisp and alpine in its sharp blue clarity we decide that it’s far too cold to go and investigate the market that is setting up and decide to bail in the cool of the morning (Onzo approves) and get a wriggle on. We also have a major win in that we’ve established that Onzo’s central heating actually works! Tiny heater belting out loads of warmth, we’re warmed up in no time and feel fighting fit to attack the day. Zoom!!

We make excellent time and arrive at Premery where (again!!) we find excellent campsite the Plan D’Eau. For 11€ we get an awesome pitch, again bang next to a river, hook up, wi-fi and within two minutes of the town. The French really do know how to do this camping lark. A lazy sunny day, more fishing (there are, honestly no fish!), a wander round what appears to be a slightly dying town, but charming nonetheless. It’s a lovely day.



We treat ourselves to steak frites in town for dinner, get plied with more evil clear stuff by monsieur le Patron, (we didn’t even ask for it, they seem to just insist!) On this occasion we were instructed to dip a sugar cube in the evil liquor and eat it for additional effects! We decided one or two was enough and left before any further trouble came our way. We weaved our way home to snuggly Onzo, getting lost 2 or 3 times en route! A easy stroll would have seen us home in 5 minutes, our new and improved route exceeded 30 minutes! Tomorrow sees us heading to Auxerre, exciting!
