In Morlaix

We had a very nice walk in Morlaix yesterday, mainly around the stepped passageways (venelles) of Le Creou, where there was a rash of religious foundations in the early 17th century. The Carmelite fontaine - remnants of an older chapel on the spot - is pictured here. Not a drop of rain and we even sat outside for coffee and hot chocolate ... 

Morlaix Walk, Tues 15th, 2pm

We have a town walk in Morlaix on Tuesday afternoon. Meet under the viaduct at 2pm.
We'll be looking at the best of the town's heritage and its links with Britain (for good and ill). This is not exactly the same as other walks we've had here before, but there will be a few steps up and down along the way. On the other hand, there'll also be plenty of refreshment options...

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy new year to all Brittany walkers. We have a town walk in Morlaix (pictured) on Tuesday January 15th at 2pm and a beautiful, easy lakeside route at Lac Drennec on Wednesday February 13th, also at 2pm. Some early chances to practise those 'more exercise' resolutions in good company.

Ten mad people ...

Happy Christmas & 2013 to Brittany Walkers / Boxing Day walk

Wishing all BWs loyal supporters and web-followers a very happy festive season, with thanks for all the good walks shared in 2012, including a record number of new venues and outings.
On Boxing Day - Wednesday 26th December - we have a leisurely walk at Huelgoat - to work off all that over-eating and drinking perhaps - stopping for hot drinks at a café en route. Please meet in the Intermarché parking to start at 2pm.

Sea walking

Witnessed at St-Pol this morning - a group sea walking. Maybe this is a future event for Brittany Walks?

Sunny Brest

Amazingly good weather for our visit yesterday, with heavy showers neatly restricted to before and after. We visited the vast and very atmospheric post-war Church of St Louis amongst other places, looking at both sides of the River Penfeld and various aspects of the city's history.
