Sun 5th

Thanks to everyone for comments and emails. After past few days they helped cheer me up a lot.

Walked into Rennes to see about catching train South. I might have if I could understandthe automated ticket system.

Mon 6th
Packed up and headed south for Guemene Pentao. Long trip as followed minor roads and the river Villaine. Pleasant countryside most notable for large tracts of woodland and particularly Sweet Chesnut trees.
In this wind the chesnuts fall off the trees and carpet the road ready for unsuspecting cyclist to cruise around the corner. Nearly came off the bike twice. Also had to run the gauntlet when cycling under an avenue of sweet chesnuts in the wind.
Generally stayed dry but windy with rain starting just as pitched tent so not too bad.

Tue 7th
Rain again as I pack and head South for Nantes. everything is damp or wet and muddy. The rather eager young girl at Guemene Pentao campsite assured me tomorrow will be fine and had the campsite been clean and pleasant I might have stayed a while.
Absolutely drenched by time reach Nantes but find campsite on Notrh West suburbs called Le Petit Port. Seems good so if weather good will take day off to clean and dry everything as on last set of dry clothing..
