As you can see we had a fairly interesting first day. The local town had some sort of WWII commemoration going on which involved lots of period military vehicles parading through town. A bit like Southend-on-Sea on a Saturday but with howitzers.
We spent most of the day watching this event then visited the local Citadel, just as all the vehicles turned up there. It seems they were using the place to camp. We didn’t understand most of the commentary of the day but the people were friendly, the food was pleasant and the weather was hot.
Afterwards we tried a little bit of geocaching, heading up a rather small lane towards a cemetery. After failing to find the cache we set of back, ran over a dog and tried another cache with just as much success. Then went home for a rest before heading out.
Oh, the dog? Well, we did a three point turn on the aforementioned lane as a dog walker was coming by. He stopped for the first part of the turn but then set of again just as we were moving off. Tried to get past slowly but the dog jumped in front to an audible thud. Don’t worry, the car was fine. Phew. And the dog was completely unhurt and unfazed too. If they’d waited the extra 5 seconds… never mind.
