The next morning bikes loaded up it was off to a biker campsite (Camping-Rendezvous-Moto. at Lunas) near the Millau Bridge. We had planned to arrive there about T-time all being well. The weather was warm but we did have a few spots of rain. The ride was going well the scenery changing from farm land with fields of Sunflowers every where to a more hilly landscape, The roads were getting a bit more technical, lovely for biking. The views too were stunning

Once across the bridge we stopped in a rest area to check how long it would take us to get to the campsite, we reckoned about a hour tops!! Two hours later and in the dark after much map reading and cursing at my Sat-Nav, we decided to ask some locals stood outside a bar having a smoke a guy who spoke good Englishwho sent us off in the wrong direction. We returned to the town and decided to try Mick's Sat-Nav, this managed to take us into the Old part of Town down Roads!! just wide enough for a bike with panniers.

The Millau Bridge is in southern France and crosses the River Tarn in the Massif Central mountains. It was designed by the British architect Lord Foster and at 300m (984 feet) it is the highest road bridge in the world, weighing 36,000 tonnes. The central pillar is higher than the famous French icon, the Eiffel Tower. The Bridge opened in December 2004 and is possibly one of the most breath taking bridges ever built.
