We set off around 8:30 AM and at least initially I didn't have to wear any rain gear ... Not to last, unfortunately!!
As we walked along yet another canal, the rain came down and it was to stay with us for most of the day, occasionally lighter occasionally heavier, indeed even hailstones!! So we all could still long keeping ourselves cheerful!
In one of the breaks of rain we found some convenient logs to stop for a mid-morning late breakfast:
Eventually arriving in Chalons en Champagne in early afternoon, you know it's not your day when even the cathedral is closed!
However we did find a convenient bar for some tasty crêpes, coffee and tea before we made it to the Notre Dame church next door - another beautiful and magnificent building, with wonderful stained glass windows!!
and a simple but effective Hold adore to go through, and remember everyone!!
And on the footpath was a sign to Ilkeston in Yorkshire, a twin town reminding me of home!
We then made our way to the hotel for the evening with a convenient decathlon store next door to stock up once again on more outdoor clothing!!
The weather forecast is not good, in fact for the area where we are walking tomorrow snow is forecast!
This is the end of three weeks of walking during which time I have walked 475 km!
I've had lots of wonderful messages from people at home and abroad and I'm really grateful for them - they do make a difference!

Keep up your prayers for me as I pray for you all in return.
