Not a drop of rain!


Thanks to Steve bringing the magic talisman (his umbrella) we had a perfectly dry walk, mostly in warm sunshine. We came back by a new route to make the most of the river on such a surprisingly pleasant day and had a really good time! Thanks everyone.

Walking in eastern Brittany


BWs is back from a month of walking and researching in eastern Brittany. Particularly enjoyed many walks by the Rance often with Lesley (pictured), who sends regards to all Brittany Walkers. Also covered many miles of the polders between Dol-de-Bretagne and Mont St-Michel, flat but exhilarating terrain, and explored the forest of Fougères extensively.
Hope everyone well, and reminder that we have a walk next week at Locmaria-Berrien, Tuesday, 2pm prompt, meet in parking by church.

Brilliant walk!

We had a really lovely walk on a beautiful day in Huelgoat along one of the best routes around. Great to welcome four new friends along with irregular regulars and 'old-timers' - we enjoyed a well-earned drink (and cake in some cases...) afterwards at L'Autre Rive. Thanks to all, and Tex, who was the one and only Dog of the Day.
Now a break until October 8, when we will walk at Locmaria Berrien.
