Day 27 - Lac de Chalain, France

04/07/2016

Today the plan was so make my way closer to Lac de Chalain, and to pull in at one of the free camperstops for the evening and to meet the others the next morning. I did a big shop in Lidl on route and tried to find a camperstop but I was struggling, I went to two and they were full and I'd be driving away from the Lake so I decided to just go and book in for 6 nights. I arrived after 2pm and had loads of washing to do, after heading back to reception to confirm my pitch I could tell James and Luke had already found me as the wipers were sticking up and the passenger side mirror was pushed in. I also found an Ice lolly stick on the bike rack but I didn't think that was them two.

Pulled up at a lake just round the corner from Lac de Chalain

Just as I finished setting up the awning James and Luke appeared as I was unpacking and we dug out the kayaks and yellow dinghy and headed straight for the lake. We paddled over to a rock they found to dive off and on the way the dinghy was half deflated so Luke decided to just swim.

Nice size pitch, Lake was directly behind me taking the picture

After a day of sunbathing, diving and kayaking I bought some chips on route to James and Luke's Caravan to have with pizza and beer. The chips took ages! I thought 10 minutes would easily be enough but I was stood waiting for over 25 minutes but they eventually came.
