I move on from Ruoms tomorrow morning after a week at the campsite. It has been too hot to do much the last couple of days - just visiting the local beach by the river and a couple of short cycle trips. Thunderstorms keep threatening; but, no big ones yet.
Planning to move onto the Auvernge and the Cantal for a couple of weeks - I found some good value municipal campsites for about 10 euro a night, or less, including power!
Cool! The pension can stretch to that especially as £1=1.25 eruo at present!
Had to find a couple of pictures from the www, as I didn't have my camera with me when I did a quick circuit of the Defiles de Ruoms and the village of Labeaume late on Monday afternoon. Great gorge cycling just a kilometre from the campsite.
Speaking of which my camera, a Nikkon D3100, does not like this hot weather and has stopped working fully. I can still take pictures; but, the LCD display and associated controls seems to have stopped working completely! So much for digital technology! That's the second DSLR camera that has let me down. The first time was when I was touring Thailand about four years ago when a Canon packed in.

Only about four weeks to go before I have to head back across 'La Manche'.
Will update when I next have an internet connection.
