Day 5 ambrieres le vallees to laval on the voires vertes next to the river Mayenne 40km

Bit of a slow start after a noisy night on the camp site listening to German oompah music for some bizarre reason until 12MN and hot with sleeping at a jaunty angle, therefore little sleep (and the cheap bottle of wine perhaps). However lovely cycle along the river, though a bit bumpy at times for the tyres, mostly mountain bike territory along the rivers, not tourers with 22kg of weight, but no punctures thankfully. Chatted to a French couple of cyclists at Montgiroux along the way managed to practice my french and was understood!!  Arrived at Laval and yet again the tourist information a font of knowledge and guided us through a trading estate to the municipal campsite at St Berthevin a snip at 9 euros 20cents :). Then shock horror informed by Isabel and Bill from Dundee, in the area for the Tour de France, and therefore very proud Scots that the dr


ought of a British person winning Wimbledon was broken YAY Andy!!!!!!!! Knew it would happen with us unable to watch, but don't think he will be concerned about that. Good sporting weekend all round, the French happy with their winner, the British Lions and Froome too! Time for bed and what promises to be a much quieter night.
