Day 5

Mileage 44 miles 70 km
Total 204 miles 326 km
Lacanu Ocean to L`Amelie
We had planned to have a rest day and enjoy the pool, but we woke to grey skies and a fine drizzle that styed with us most of the day. So onward, continue north. We quickly came upon a very narrow  concrete cycle path, 50cms wide in places, which some swedish cyclists told us went on for over 5 kms. We opted for the small road nearby. We did try the concrete path, but with the tandem so heavily laden it was very difficult, and if we came off, it would have been a major problem.


Lunch stop

Once past the concrete path we made  good progress. We saw quite a lot of cycle tourers. One german couple had done the same rout as we did last year and are planning to do the Loire next year!! Stopped at camping De L`Ocean, very quiet.
