Tight Turn @ The Tower
Having just got going again after stopping for a bit of lunch at Toury (28), I spied a pair of LASO Volvo FH13-540 6x4 t/u's and their Nooteboom trailers hauling Vestas wind turbine tower sections loomed into view across the fields.
Seen negotiating a sharp right turn near Acquebouille (45), they were heading in a very circuitous route through some small villages but in the general direction I was going so I ended up getting a few shots of them along the way.
There were two escort vans per load and the way they made progress and marshalled the traffic was most impressive- including at one roundabout where the loads entered the wrong way and then reversed around before leaving on the wrong side of the road.
I'm not quite sure what they made of me and my camera, but they waved and engaged in polite conversation- thanks for your understanding if you happen to see this.
