February 16th - Landerneau visit

We have a visit to Landerneau and other places of interest in the vicinity on Monday 16th February. There is a choice to begin with. Either meet at La Martyre (just off D764 between Sizun and Landerneau) at 11.15 to see the famous and unusual parish close, or meet 12 noon in Landerneau, in the riverside car-park on the north bank. Plenty of places to choose for lunch (or BYO and eat in car if preferred) and then we'll have a walk around the town. This will be followed to a visit to the (very nearby) ruined castle at La Roche Maurice. Booking please - send a message to brittanywalks@orange.fr

Event cancelled

Wednesday's walk in the Monts d'Arrée is cancelled.
Our next event is a visit to Landerneau and the surrounding area on February 16th.

Best wishes for 2015

Happy New Year to all Brittany Walkers! Looking forward to many new outings in 2015.

Fun walk

Looking at goats in Huelgoat

We had a most convivial festive walk in the forest today. It was rainy when we set off but the amazing beauty of the surroundings made us oblivious to that - or maybe it was the generous portions of mulled wine consumed at L'Autre Rive (thank you, Jacqueline) which made the difference. Rain stopped for our return via the Mare aux sangliers (photo), up the Argent valley and past the Chaos, with Steve and Claude demonstrating how to make a very large rock tremble... But the greatest physical feat came from Dog of the Day, Nell. Thanks to everyone - that really was a fun walk, even without the great disappearing key mystery.

Boxing Day Walk

Join us for the usual Boxing Day stroll in Huelgoat today, starting at 2pm from Intermarché parking area. This ramble around the beautiful forest with a buy-your-own stop at a bar/café on the way is a free event, a chance to get outside and enjoy some very special scenery with nice people...

HAPPY YULE & 2015 to all Brittany Walkers

Thanks once to again to everyone for a very successful year of Brittany Walks, with a large majority of events covering new routes and historical sites. Devising different and interesting programmes involves a lot of work, but the great support from you all makes it very worthwhile. As a gesture of thanks, the Boxing Day walk in Huelgoat, which normally has a reduced tariff, will actually be FREE this year. See Programme for details.
BWs wishes you all a Happy Yule, Christmas and New Year.

Winter walk

We had a very enjoyable walk in the countryside around Callac yesterday, despite a bit of rain on the return. Thanks to all who came and to Dog of the Day - Pasha the Dasha!
