Day 6 St Berthevin to la selle Craonnaise 45km

Lovely cycle down the voires verts yet again, nicely shaded and much less stoney. The old train routes. So organised and pretty and FLAT :-) Read paper bought by the E'cosse to commemorate the win by Andy at little cafe and epicerie and post office at Ahuille we think ( a man with everything covered). Picked up stores. Continued down to Craon via beautiful picnic area(see photo) and did the usual cycle round in circles to find the tourist office (closed 12 - 3pm) as all good places are which is unfortunate as we seem to always arrive at the crucial places at this time - damn. Continued to la selle Craonnaise which was completely closed for the day! so without any real food continued to the campsite 3 km away. A mix up with interpretation of the signs we entered a farm yard thinking perhaps the right place but the three huge dogs (unchained :/!!!) quickly had us on our way luckily in the right direction to the campsite next to a water sports area where we got a pitch for 11 euro. nice shady spot. Unfortunately no shop but we rustled up the remnants of our food sac just before the gas ran  out. Supplemented as I type with a plate of chips and 2 beers (keeping on budget somehow with a squirreled away 10 euro of dave's?????)
