10 kms, 2 locks, 1.75 hours
Please note, we are still alive after a meal of wild
mushrooms last night!
After another grey and chilly start, 11C when we left
Bonnand at 9.30, the day warmed up considerably and by late afternoon it was
22C and sunny.

With just a short run today we arrived at Chambilly well
before the lock keeper’s lunch hour.
This is a delightful place to stop.
Again it has a new quay with the promise of water and electricity to
come (although there is already a push tap for water).

In the village there is a boulangerie and about 2 kms across
the river there is a town with 2 supermarkets and a brico (DIY).
With the weather dry and warm, Ian got out the grinder and
dremmel to tackle the ever increasing rust problem. Tomorrow it is supposed to rain most of the
day so we will stay here then cover the remaining 33 kms to Roanne in 3 short
hops.
