For once no rain. Used the bike as a mobile washing line to dry some kit. Garmin behaved so all good.

Bit of R&R and sight seeing in the town today. Looking back, I've covered 380km since arriving in France, all of my route thus far has been following the Brest - Nantes canal. Building started in 1811もっと詳しく

Another big 150km. First view of the Atlantic ocean. No more canals to follow, more like marsh land and pine forest. Crossed the causeway (Passage du Gois) to the island of Noirmoutier which you canもっと詳しく

Took it easy today. Garmin again playing up :(
Got to camp early, washed the bike, took a stroll on the beach, chilled by the pool

Seems to storm in these parts like clockwork at 4pm (like the Highveld used to). Have to drink very slowly with the price of beer in these parts ! The price one pays to take shelter out of the rain.

Started off late today being unsure what to do as rain was threatening, and wind was up. As it turned it it was an easy 40km Sunday ride, assisted by a tail wind.

Another very WET day of cycling, and another lesson learnt. So it's a public holiday here in France, and there is NOTHING open (much the same on Sunday's). Going to have to restock with provisions inもっと詳しく

Initial plan was to spend two nights here and take a break. Not much here so will push on tomorrow and see what lies ahead.

Finally summer has arrived in southern France !! Came across a seaside village early in the ride where the dunes are engulfing the dwellings. Must be some serious winds here to move all that sand.
