Reasonably early start - breakfast at 8:00, away just after 9:00. Stopped at a supermarket for a few bits then left Valence via the industrial area, eventually we got onto farm roads near the river, running through peach and apricot orchards. Prettier than the main road but less direct.
At Le Pouzin we crossed the river in search of lunch and eventually got lucky with a €9 menu de jour. Then we crossed a barrage onto a long island with a good road and only a little traffic. This took us four or five miles before another barrage delivered us to the east bank where the campsite was... however, we had to run along a very busy road for several miles. Still, a really good tailwind and the backdraft from the traffic meant we had a really good pace.

Puncture to the rear tire 50 yards before campsite entrance!
