Day 2 Midday Update

Posted by Neil

Having avoided wiping out a couple of shrews as they scampered across the road early in the day, we opted for a spot of brunch at Devsres. As we left the village we passed a sign announcing that we were joining the "Route Les 7 Vallees" gave us a clue to the format of our afternoon, with spectacular descents followed by energy sapping climbs.
As we progressed through the ups and downs of the valleys the temperature also steadily climbed, but thankfully most of the ups benefitted from tree cover.
We had a late lunch at Hesdin where we learned that the Temp had got up to 33 deg. Scorchio!
