[QUOTE="roving_rufus, post: 1061256, member: 21017"] Day 15 So the campsite was beside a main road last night- earplugs definitely came in handy. Was up early as had 30km day planned. So from Blain the official marked route follows the canal, but there is an alternative route that is in some of the guides (not the Breton Amis' stuff) and used to be marked (some markings are still there) but it's much shorter. This alternative follows an old railway track, a little futtery to find ts start but then it's keep straight! So leaving camp I head out on to main rd and a bike path, over roundabout and in 400m leave bike path& cross main road on to start of old rail line on a lane. But the trick is in 500m joining a tar bike path is to fork off left - there are 2 different old railway tracks diverging here! And then for 20km or so its gravel tracks, lanes and dirt paths on flat and shady way, to reach Treillieres. (There are no services on this route - no benches, water etc- but I did come across an interesting art exhibition in a wood) Treillieres has all services- supermarche, boulagerie, bar, and restaurant. And since I arrived at 12.10 it was perfect time for lunch - roasted chicken, potatoes and salad followed by chocolate cake - throughly stuffed! Slow to move initially, i was soon back in the swing for the final 7km of the old railway- and alot more people walking and cycling this section than earlier (met a local hiking group and those 8 were all I saw until Treillieres). But it was getting hot - it's been humid since first thing, so being in a tree-lined track was great! Then came Chappelle sur L'Erdre, finishing point for today. And it can be interesting finding stamps (tampons) in France - it was my third attempt and the bar had one- and had a lovely chat with the lady behind the bar who sees a tiny trickle of pilgrims but she was surprised as I was the second of the day!
