Today is a bitter cold wind blows from North-West. At high altitudes it blows me right between the back and the backpack, which is quite unpleasant. The neck and back are cooling down fast, prompt, there are tensions.
I'm not sure if this really is the top seat of a hunter. To me from local forests known high seats look different, almost luxurious in contrast. A feeding station, it is not, I find no lining.
come after a long and tiring march through vast forests and drafty heights after I Auberives-sur-Varèze . Here, the population has doubled in the last 40 years. I approach slowly the Lyon metropolitan area, where the city continues to feel not much is. Only the new development areas of the sites are bigger.
Clonas-sur-Varèze . It goes down a cliff in the village. The Rhône, to guess the background has milled a broad valley.
Finally I find an open bar and drink some coffee shops. I feel now quite dull. Today is Saturday, tomorrow I will have a rest day, my first one. Have in a report read by a pilgrim, that he kept every Sunday a day of rest. That seems like a good idea, it is not a question as soon as possible to be in Santiago. The body to rest and reflect the spirit is certainly valuable.
Let's see how it is tomorrow, I'm looking forward to it.
But as far as is it yet. I would first cross the Rhone to stay in Chavanay. Before
happens again a special promotion, which belongs to me seem to do so. As I walk through Clonas-sur-Varèze, rises from the mist on your left a large plant that turns out to be a nuclear power plant. The French are well known in this respect somewhat benighted - and the Germans then buy the cheap nuclear power, but officially make eco.
When I do the photo above, go cry in one fire engine sirens in Clonas-sur-Varèze. Then, some of fire trucks roaring out of the village towards nuclear power and disappear in the haze. In a few moments, I imagine all the scenarios. There is only one Alternative: I am walking on the road, one kilometer away from a nuclear power plant, rush to the fire engines. Before me the Rhône, a few villages around me, otherwise covered fields and forests. I will probably have no choice but to keep running than to do as if nothing happened and wait.
The NPP is certainly not explode. Whether an accident or a practice existed, I could never find out.
At the bridge over the Rhone. I leave the Isere department and look for the third time in a few days, the Rhône.
On the bridge over the Rhone. The wind blows so strong that I started to take off my hat in order not to lose him. Against the cold, I wear a headband under his hat, for which I am particularly grateful.
no signs I would not have recognized the Rhone. She has since won a Yenne much more water to it. You should already have a volume such as the Lower Rhine. But she is also the most water, and 812 km the second longest river in France.
view Chavanay, in the Loire still in the Région Rhône-Alpes. The town is located at 155 Hm, in the coming days it will go to higher altitudes.
Chavanay is twinned with beech wood in Germany. Buchholz is a town of Waldkirch, a town in the Breisgau in Baden-Württemberg, 20 km from Freiburg im Breisgau.
on the left leg of the plate one can see an X in a red and a white bar. The GR65 is a form of sign and means that the way not go straight.
have two hours I looked for a reasonably good and affordable accommodation in Chavaney, I'm not found it. Then I have to just go a bit further. As is already the norm in this situation with a faster tempo, not in the dark to have to run.
Chavaney would have been a nice place to enjoy a day off. The incident at the nearby nuclear plant, however, I plugged in the bone, maybe it's better to move on.
At dusk I come Bessey to 400 Hm Unfortunately, the Gite is closed. After some questioning, I am sent to a place to stay in a kilometer away. I can come here at the weekend is saved! tears
