ham Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I am down in the Dordogne and is wet at most sites the pitches are very wet and some under water. at the moment I am at Souillac along side the river and it is very high. We have had 2 dry days in the last 10 days . we have used sites so we can get hook up to run the heating as the temp most nights has been around 4 degreees and most days around 12degrees. The french are saying next week looks better dryer and a bit warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright and sunny.... then the clouds built up and we've had non-stop rain and thunder all afternoon..... it feels cold too.

PJay Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hi Gwen We left bay of Roses on Monday. Now south of Tarragona, L'Ametlla de Mar Been hot and sunny all day, a bit windy but sat in sun most of the day. Lot's of Dutch and Germans all down here, who don't seem to be going anywhere!! Forecast good for next few days Not had to have the heating on at night, which we did in Roses PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwendolyn Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Had an email from my little cousin inviting us to stay [again] with her at her villa in Moraira [it is quite simply stunning!] - she arrives there on 6th June. Very tempting. But everyone we meet en route is asking if they can come too. Anyone else??? I'll email her and say I am turning up with X number of chums, pals and assorted motorhomers..... could be quite a party! Cheers, Gwen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
