Day 8 update

Sorry to all reading this
Blog.  We have been a bit short of updates for the past few days, it's a combination of long days and wanting to get out to sample the delights of Les Sables d'olonne. 
So in no particular order. 
I suppose yesterday is the critical day. 10 km into the day we discovered Chris's pannier rack had developed a severe crack, to the point only 1 cm of metal was holding it on. After some thought we load the bags onto David's front rack (many thanks to David) and the broken bit onto the handle bars of Chris's.  We then continued for the next 100 km to Royan. 
The day's story did not end there, part of the trail was temporary and so rough we turned around and back tracked to a road. In fact some of the roads we cycled were worse than previous sections of off road!!!!!
To finish the day off David had a puncture with about 25 km to go. 
But to make up for it, Royan is very picturesque and we had a good dinner on the sea front (pictures show it all). 

So this morning it is off to find a bike shop that is open, it is a bank holiday here?
