Canal du Centre

  • Total 626km
  • Today 69km
  • Palings to Chagny
  • Sunny high 26c

We mostly followed the Canal du Centre today as it gently locked up, then locked down. It’s nice to get the boost of speed at each lock on the way down, but the path is always flat between the locks even though we’re constantly losing altitude.

Everything was shut tight today (Sunday) as France prepares to celebrate Whit Monday. We were warned about this in advance, and stocked up on enough food to get us through. Unfortunately this means that Chris, being the primary food carrier has a bit of a heavy load today and tomorrow.
