We gave up on Font and headed south to find warmer conditions - we had been tipped off the southern France would be hotter!We were greeted in Gorges du Tarn to a beautiful sunset, and clear blue skies.This made us feel happier, but the reality soon dawned that the nights were gonna be cold!Sleeping in the cold wasn’t the main problem – we had lots of warm clothes, two blankets, two sleeping bags and a thick duvet.We soon realised there were other consequences with the extreme temperatures, when we awoke in the morning the inside of the van was encrusted with a layer of ice.The ice isn’t a great issue, but the freezing cold water dribbling down your neck is!The other issue was the lack of any cooking facilities.It was so cold that the gas wouldn’t evaporate and the stove didn’t work.Luckily, the hot water bottle from the previous night was warm enough to slowly perk up the gas!
