A tour around the Jura region local to Lons-le-Saunier is on the cards today and its wet yet again, but not as heavy as previous days and it even stops for a while.
Not far is the Cirque de Baume, a dramatic gorge with the village of Baume-les-Messieurs at the bottom.
Attractions in and near the village include the Abbey, where we inappropriately preached from the pulpit and took confession

| Gospel according to St Mike |

| Knock knock .....Who's there? |
 |
| 10th century abbey of St Peter |
Not far is the waterfall, which was quite spectacular given the amount of rain fallen, and some caves. We gave the caves a miss - there was an entrance charge after all

Onwards and a visit to some more gorges and lakes. A stop for lunch at a pizzeria followed by a mystery tour up a track that hadn't seen much traffic recently judging by the grass growing up the middle - a mountain bike probably the best form of transport and we have one casualty who goes literally off road into a field and comes out minus a mirror and with dented pride.
