Monday 16th May (Millau and Vultures)


Mr. Kite looked out of The Joint window into a sky with some cloud and some sunshine. Today The Joint and it's occupants were on their travels to Millau to bird-watch, drink and play cards. Driving towards Millau the clouds disappeared and a big bright sun shone. Now what could be better, camping in the warm sun.

A campsite was found birds spotted before The Incapacitants set off on their bikes towards le Rozier. Within one mile Mr. Kite's 'birding companion' had the first puncture of the trip. After a repair it was all systems go; picking the odd cherry from the trees and spotting goldfinch, house sparrows and a Griffon Vulture. Then a few more vultures with eagles high up and unidentifiable before the next puncture and a return to The Joint passing through la Cresse and Paulhe.

On return the bar was open and it was free beer for the occupants of pitch sixteen as they had a tipple of Kronenbourg. Cheers from Millau.
