Notes
For these three days I was stuck at Vinon waiting for MBK Cycles in Manosque to get a front pannier carrier for me after the collapse in Frontignan. I cycled to Manosque and back twice, once on Wednesday to order the pannier carrier and finally on Friday when it was fitted. During my stay in Vinon I walked up the valley towards the gorge but regrettably never cycled there, which was a pity. I went to a film at the town cinema, had a really good lunch in the square and suffered an all-night disco in the nearby civic centre that overlooked the campsite and kept me awake until the early hours.
