[QUOTE="roving_rufus, post: 1058804, member: 21017"] Day 8 didn't go as planned. I rolled my ankle yesterday arriving in St Medard, it all seemed okay until I started to walk on it this morning. Nothing serious but certainly not up to the 29km to Rennes were I have a hotel booked. I decided to see how far I would get as there were several train stations or bus stops close to the route today. It started to rain as soon as I started walking but at least my tent came down dry. Today was along the Ille and Rance canal - so really easy walking, and at least every 2km there was something to see: A railway bridge at an acute angle giving interesting angles and geometry (geeky but I have a degree in Maths). Between the next two locks was a serious of art picture photo display of tiny people toy figurines looking at nature. Then at St Germain is the workshop for the wooden doors of locks, so if you're been near a French canal it's lock came via there. ...so I got to 15km in Betton and decided to pull the plug on walking today...my ankle is okay but I don't want to push it any further. So bus it is. But it gave me more time in Rennes which is a cute little city...visited cathedral, looked at old wooden beamed houses and then since I am in Brittany it was time for a galette (something like a savoury version of a crepe). Headed to the art museum- interesting mix of items! But very fun and nostalgic temporary exhibition on "fêtes" ie parties- lots about dancing, music, festivals, it made a smile alot and even laugh which means it's probably a great exhibit after 2 years of covid, whoever the curator is chose well. Now I am lying with an elevated foot, trying to adjust my plans (thankfully I have nothing booked beyond today) as my ankle is okay but certainly not fit for long days with a heavy pack with camping gear. So I am thankful for the rain 🌧 waiting until I got my tent packed up, and for the fun in the art museum ( somehow that sounds wrong, museums are supposed to be serious, aren't they?) [/QUOTE]
