Beautiful Spring Walk

We enjoyed a really fine walk in the sunshine at St-Goazec, with a large crowd positively up for the challenge of fallen trees, wading along streams and ploughing through thick mud. The visit to the brocante was a popular addition. Thanks to all who came and made it a great outing. Special thanks to Dave for the photo.
Next walk is on the 16th at Le Relec (between Huelgoat and Morlaix), a Level 3 route, 10kms.

St Goazec Walk - March 2

We have a walk next Tuesday, March 2, leaving from the car-park by the church at St Goazec at 2pm. (The village is near the Chateau de Trévarez and Chateauneuf-du-Faou.) This is not a very long route (about 7kms) but up-and-down with some steep sections, long steady climbs and some parts that may be very muddy in or after wet weather. Typical March walk, in other words. Boots and stamina essential! The reward will be great views of the Monts d'Arrée and Montagnes Noires (weather permitting!) and quiet, pretty rural paths. Look forward to seeing you then.

A good time had by all ....


Great walk yesterday, with the initially very cold weather turning out to be pretty good for a long hike. Thanks to all who participated, and especially to Chris and Barry for the photos. In March we go back to two walks per month as usual, so lots of spring walking to come.

Walk Tomorrow

We have a long (9.2kms) but fairly flat walk tomorrow (Tues), starting from La Gare on the canal on the main road between Cleden-Poher and St-Hernin. Old railway track out and towpath back, so easy going underfoot. Walk starts at 2pm. Look forward to seeing you there.

Study Days

The details of our Study Days are now up on the new Brittany Walks website (brittanywalks.com). The choice of topics is Megaliths, The Age of Saints and Medieval Brittany, three aspects of the region that often arouse the curiosity of residents and visitors alike. Find out about your surroundings! Give your brain a spring-clean! Each topic is being offered on two separate dates, and there's a reduction for booking more than one. Have a look!

Great walk!


We had a most enjoyable afternoon yesterday - thanks to all the usual crowd who turned out for a forest walk in perfect walking conditions, followed by well-deserved hot chocolate. Thanks to Dave for one of these photos, and for his dog handling skills!
