Day 3 Craon to Brissac-Quince 61miles

---

After a meagre breakfast of one croissant & two hard biscuits we set off at 9.30am.Bought bottle of water & rillets of pork in supermarket then headed off to 44 miles of rolling hills & beautiful farmland only stopping for a water & jellybean break ! We crossed the Loire with its vineyards & hope of better weather. That was not the case our picnic was interrupted by a huge thunder storm so we had to hurriedly don the waterproofs & head for shelter in the form of a vineyard outbuilding whilst it passed over head. We had to shelter again a couple of miles further on this time sharing a bus shelter with a upper class english vagrant who stank of dirt,he had been camping & walking for three weeks.From here we made our way to Brissac-Quince cycling on the banks of the Loire & it's various Islands.

We arrived at the beautiful hilltop town of Brissac-Quince at 17.45 with its imposing Chateaux &. church.

Quick bite to eat & billy winks.
