Day 9 - 22nd March 2008

Now in St Dizier - 85 miles today. This morning lovely ride through Champagne producing area, rolling semi wooded hills, chalk soil. Also big cereal growing area, massive storage bins at Chalons en Champagne.

War cemetery at St Marfaux, one of many I have visited, had German graves colocated with British seperate plots. German marked by simple metal crosses.

Hello Roger, Glad to see that you are making such good progress. Keep it up! I know the general area that you have been travelling through in France. Last year I was in the Champagne and Burgundy regions, along with Ben. I will continue to follow your progress with interest. Jeremy.
