Thundering

Today we cycled south, back through the picturesque port of Pornic, onto the island of Noirmoutier via a causeway, then off again over a bridge setting up our camp in La Barre-de-Monts. Overall a pretty easy ride over flat countryside either by the coast or marsh land.

Today's blip are some wind turbines that we passed on the way out of Britanny into Vandée. As you would expect there were piles of chopped up birds beneath each turbine and the noise was so deafening you couldn't hear jumbo jets taking off or the French Air Force jets on low flying manoeuvrers....

In truth we saw no dead birds beneath the turbines and you couldn't actually hear them as they turned above the noise of your cycle on the road. A passing car was loud by comparison. A pretty good day and a new department for me, so somewhere new to learn about!
