Arrived in Roscoff
10. juni 2017, Frankrig ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Just arrived in Roscoff and had our first experience of driving on the wrong side. Traffic was very quiet and satnav guided us to the accommodation, so no problems so far.

The sea crossing was not to bad and so we managed to get approximately 5-6 hours sleep in our little cabin without feeling ill. 🤢Læs mere

Anyone for crab?
10. juni 2017, Frankrig ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Lots of eating places in Riscoff. Particularly ones specialising in Crepes, the local speciality. We decided on a fish lunch in the shade as it was very hot in the sun although windy (which Roscoff is known for). Hazel had a bowl of mussels with chips while I went with a set menu which included a fish dish which was in a pineapple and ginger source, a bit strange but nice all the same.Læs mere

Walk around Roscoff
10. juni 2017, Frankrig ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
We ventured out into Roscoff to look around the town. It turns out to be a lovely harbour surrounded by granite House's and although it's a Saturday it seemed very quiet, well compared with similar harbours in Cornwall.Læs mere

Island of Lle-de-Batz
11. juni 2017, Frankrig ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Today we took a boat trip from Roscoff to the island of Batz, a short journey of approximately 20 Minutes. A beautiful island with only a 1000 inhabitants and lots of secluded white sandy beaches.

We found a nice spot on a beach and setup the tent. Although it was very windy the tent shelter us from worst of it and so we spent the afternoon sun bathing.Læs mere

Visit to the local supermarket
12. juni 2017, Frankrig ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
We needed to restock with supplies this morning.

We just can't believe how quiet it is here. Even the supermarket was deserted.

Visit to Morlaix
12. juni 2017, Frankrig ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Today we did our first adventure in the car to the town of Morlaix. Unfortunately the town was a disappointment even through we paid for a mini train ride around it. There were some interesting old buildings otherwise it was a little run down as compared to Roscoff.

At some stage in the distant past it had obviously been a wealthy town from the status and grandeur of the old buildings.

It's also well known for its pink granite viaduct carrying train's from Paris to Brest above the town centre.Læs mere

Huelgoat - a small town by a lake
13. juni 2017, Frankrig ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Today we set our sights further afield to visit the small town of Huelgoat, renowned for the forest which surrounds it and large bolders covered in moss.

Having visited the tourist office to get a hiking map we set our sights on a 10km walk around the town called the 'Circuit De Saint-vinec' which took in some local landmarks. We finished the walk with a 3km walk around the lake having our picnic lunch looking across the Lake to the town.

It's a lovely area well worth another visit to walk some of the other trails.

The day had been very warm and so having taken a slight diversion because I took the wrong exit off an Island we were glad to get back to the flat for a rest.Læs mere

Beach Hoping
14. juni 2017, Frankrig ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
After yesterday's walking we decided a beach day was in order. We started off on our local beach just 100m from the flat. Midmorning the tide was still in and Hazel ventured in for a swim although I decided it was just too cold so opted for a sleep on a warm beach. By lunch time the sea had gone out making it possible to walk across the bay to the other secluded beaches. So after a lunch of Crepes we set out to a beach on the opposite side of the bay. Besides a few houses there is not much on this side so the white sandy beaches are mostly deserted.

We pitched the tent and spent the rest of the afternoon taking on some rays while keeping one eye on the tide.Læs mere

RejsendeWow who would have thought Roscoff is so beautiful. I think most people pass through on the way to and from the port and don't bother stopping. X

An evening stroll in Roscoff
14. juni 2017, Frankrig ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
It was such a nice evening we took a stroll into Roscoff and witnessed to a beautiful sunset. It's so quiet here it's as so everyone has gone to bed even though it's only 10 o'clock and it's still light.Læs mere

Walking the coastal path
15. juni 2017, Frankrig ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
Today we set our sight's on Ploumanac'h an hour & half from Riscoff in the Cote d'armor region of France. This area is known as the pink granite coast and so we planned to walk part of the Sentier des Douaniers (coastal path) to explore the red granite bolders which have been sculpted by the sea.

On arrival it was drizzling and the clouds look ominous. We decided to walk anyway and started out towards the town of Trestraou. By the time we had arrived the cloud was clearing and so we had our sandwiches on the beach.

Having eaten and with the sun out we set off back the way we came. Eventually arriving at the pretty little village of Ploumanac'h, passing it's light house and marvelling at the red granite sculptors along the way.Læs mere

Stout & Cognac makes the world go round
15. juni 2017, Frankrig ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Having downed a bottle of stout and a large glass of cognac with her Crepe this evening Hazel needed a walk along the front again tonight.

If she had stuck with the apple juice like me she would have been fine 😋

Although Hazel had done some driving today so may be she deserved a night cap or two!

Lovely warm evening again and still light gone 9 pm.Læs mere

Beaches on the Crozon peninsula
16. juni 2017, Frankrig ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
It's our last full day in France and we set out on our most adventurous drive yet to sample the beaches on the Crozon peninsula some two hours away from Roscoff.

Having read good reviews of the beach 'Plage du Ris' just outside the port of Douarnenez we pitched the tent ready for a days sunbathing.

The tide was going out but this enhanced the breakers and we had great fun jumping into waves which were over our heads. It reminded me of the times we spent in Cornwall body surfing as kids.Læs mere

On our way back to Plymonth
17. juni 2017, Frankrig ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
We are on the boat ready to set sail to Plymouth. Looks like a good film in the onboard cinema so I will probably watch a movie while Hazel has a sleep.

Par beach
18. juni 2017, England ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Today we set out to visit the local beach near Par but we were disappointed as although the beach was sandy and sea warm it was full of algae and so not good to swim in. Plus you had a great view of the local China Clay factory which overlooked the beach.Læs mere

The port of Fowey
18. juni 2017, England ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Next we visited the small fishing port of Fowey. A lovely little port which is famous for its pirates and the author Daphne du Maurier (of Jamaica Inn fame) who's house over looked the port. Her son still lives there.Læs mere

Boat trip from Fowey
18. juni 2017, England ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
We took a boat trip around the bay with an entertaining Cornish man who told us stories of pirates, local history and the rivalry between Fowey and Polmarine (on the opposite side of the bay). Although he was a little bias as he was Polmarine born and bred.Læs mere

Before setting off back for home we dropped into the old fishing village of Palkarris. Lovely little sandy beach and sea you could swim in.
