Falaise to Torigni (Not St Lo!) - 76k - Tues 5 June

Hey - I have a lot to catch up on! We are in Launceston (pronounced lawnston) from where Phillip Gidley King came from, (who named launceston, tas.). We have been on the road for nearly two weeks, but internet access is non existent. \went early to the town library today and it was closed for the day! Angus, why didn't Doug even offer to set me up with satellite for the Blackberry!

We had such a hard day this day that we got to villers bocage and rang ahead for a camp site at st lo and becasue there werent any, we diverted to \torigni. \it was in fact a beautiful flat almost downhill run for 20odd k, and \i sat behind \julie all the way at about 30kph. \she was keen to get there! When we stopped outside the caravan park, she promptly did what we call in the trade a 'dead ant' - she fell off from a standing still position. \fortunately she fell to the right (remember we ride on the right here in france) and fell heavily, bruising her 'butt' big time - she still has a bruise about as big as a foot print! Welcome to the world of cycling. It was a big day.

\we actually enjoy the tent. It is most cosy, and we cook and eat very well indeed. All facilities have been quite impressive.
