Day four 4th June
The weather was improving but we were set to move on anyway.
It was a relatively short drive to another Castel campsite, Chateau De Martragny not far from Bayeux (should have been shorter but we thought we knew better than the GPS and unintentually took the long way out from the site at Le Brevedent, rather than the single track we came in on). Back on the D579 we headed for the A13 for the Caen ring road the N413, then on to the N13 for the rest of the journey, by now we were low on diesel but made it to the site.

Booked in, put on a very shaded (dark) hardstanding as the site was waterlogged, but we asked to move and after some persuasion we got mover to a nice light, warm, pitch. As the ground was so soft, we had to reverse in and used two plastic mats under the front wheels. The electrics were two pin (could be reverse polarity but who cares, it only maters if you start sticking your fingers where they shouldn't be), so I had to use the adapter. There was a very tall line of trees just where the satellite would be so I didn't bother with the TV and dish.
Went for a stroll after we got set up, left by the site rear entrance and walked around the village, the campsite is on the outskirts of two villages, Saint-Léger and Martragny, nice walk but not much there, no shop, no bar, well not hat we could see anyway.
Several WW2 army vehicles arrived on site over the two days we were there, all getting ready for the D Day celebrations around the landing beaches and in Bayeux.
Popped over to the bar before our evening meal, I had Stella and Dot had a white wine, the food in there looked good but we had planned ours. We sat outside in the sun, about time, that's what we were here for, had a chat to two other British couples, about ferries and the amount of Brits on the site (as many as the last place).
