Translayon: 3rd-5th June – day one

Across the Layon from Saint-Lambert-du-Lattay towards Beaulieu


Today CRM and I start our three day walk down the Layon – 2011 Translayon.

We meet up with the other walkers at Chalonnes-sur-Loire from 6.15 this morning to 6.45 before transport leaves apparently precisely at 7.00 to take us to the start at Cléré-sur-Layon. The first day's walk takes us to Tigné.

We will be staying at the Camping in Saint-Lambert-du Lattay. I'm not sure whether we will be able to get an internet connection so there may be no updates until we return to Touraine on Sunday evening.

List here of 19 caves ouvertes
either the weekend of the 4th-5th or 11th-12th or both weekends.
