The Dordogne is very lush and green, yet some people seem surprised if they get rain, which seems a bit silly to me. When we went we had mostly dry and warm weather, with a couple of spectacular thunderstorms that were very furious and heavy, but didn't last too long. We had a few overnight showers too, but when the sun came out it dried out very quickly.

I wouldn't say it was Med. type weather, it is wetter in the Dordogne, but you are more likely to get decent and prolonged amounts of sunshine than you do further North. If you want parched, arid, desert like conditions though, don't go somewhere with lush green valleys ;-)

Huw (TethersEnd) only posts when he's there if it's sunny and hot....just to rub our noses in it. ;-P  

For the same distance we travelled can do Lake Garda in Italy next year which is now the plan.

Can I borrow your map, or your calculator, because when i went to SP from Calais it was approx 520 miles. When I went to Lake Garda this year it was749 miles.

Somethings wrong somewhere.
