It rained in the night, not forecast but everything and everyone remained dry. The bread and croissants arrive at 8am so a lie in allows the moisture to start to clear. But not well wet clothes are packed.
After a short walk and crossing of the railway line we get to the interest of the day. A large stone column in the forest dedicated to the first aerial channel crossing by Jean Blanchard and John Jefferies in 1785 in a balloon from Dover. They landed there.
The day steadily improves getting hotter and more humid. The slightly frantic pace of the last two days slows and a pleasant walk through woods with various orchids ensues.
We eventually emerge on to a ridge about 150m above sea level ( as high as it gets round here)and have lunch overlooking the lowlands to which we descend to Liques.
Meeting up with Jane in the car in the town. She has done the shopping and after a beer we ramble on to the nice campsite 1.5km outside town.
Weather is now excellent for drying and after there last two days we need it
