Graham was a little worried about the amount of mud at the Aire we stopped at in the village of Sers earlier today and he turned out to be correct. We wanted to see the site of Roc de Sers which has a replica of some ancient rock carvings found in the area so thought we’d stop in the village. Bad idea!

Everything was closed as usual and there was nowhere to eat. The Aire had hardstanding for the parking but the exit was very muddy and very uphill. We decided to leave after getting some water and managed to get bogged on the way out. There is something quite stressful about wheels spinning, mud flying and not being able to move. Thankfully a friendly Frenchman came to our rescue, guiding us through the various reversals, turns, and accelerations to get out. Thank you, that man.

We drove on to Roc and were rewarded with some fabulous replicas of the carved stones. There are depictions of bison, stags, horses and even humans. It was worth going despite the stress at the Aire.

We’re now nearby at a much less muddy spot in Dirac. It seems an affluent town with a posh farm shop next to us and a lovely church with animal carvings above the door. Not quite as old as the prehistoric ones but around 11th century I think. It’s been a day of carved animals.
