260 ish km took the back roads to Planchez, then did the sempiternel "planchez - Chateau Chinon"  which I prefer in the other direction but still a cracking road. Fuelled at Chateau Chinon and had to spend 5 minutes cleaning spilt deisel of my boots, the forcourt of the filling station was fucking swimming in it! 🤬 shan't be going there again.

My original plan had been to cut across country from there to Glux en Glenne before turning north to Moulins Engilbert but given the time and the fact that i fancied some faster curves rather than the tight twisties I'd had up to then, I elected to take the more majour road westwards to Chatillon en Bazois  and turn north from there back via corbigny, Bazoches, Vezelay and chatel Censoir.

 

took a couple of pics on the way

Chauteau d'Aunay,  nothe the two artillery pieces... I wonder if they're the same two 52mm field guns?  

 

got home in time to shower before trotting down to the square and pretend to be an actual human being for a couple of hours...
