East to Figeac

Victory snatched from the jaws of defeat.

The original plan was to have a relaxing start and have a "short" day of 49 miles ending in Gramat. Slow progress due to missing a turning and getting a puncture. Met a few English cyclists including a bunch on a "luxury" cycling tour of the Dordogne who were being transported by van - no bikes!

Original destination was Gramat but it looked dead and the campsite was unappealing so continued to Figeac, finding a good campsite at 6.30pm (restaurant on site).
