Cold wind, fast walk

We had a nice brisk walk up hill and down dale before a final stretch back to Ty Men along the canal. Mostly dry, just the odd flurry of snow on the way but nothing settling and roads absolutely clear for the journey home. Thanks to all who came, sorry I forgot my camera :-(

Walk on Tuesday 12th March

WALK IS ON!
Our walk starts at 2pm next Tuesday from Ty Men, on the Nantes-Brest canal near Lennon.
Approaching Lennon from the north (N164), enter the village and turn right in the centre (just past church) in the direction of Pleyben. After 2.3kms pass the chapel of St Nicolas on the right and continue ahead for 600m to Ty Men. Park by canal.

This is an undemanding walk on quiet roads and then along a beautiful stretch of the Nantes-Brest canal.

Great day!

Thanks to everyone who came on the Parish Close course on Monday and again today when we enjoyed  fantastic weather for our 'out and about' day. The warm sun was a good foil for long periods spent in cold churches! We saw some exceptional art and architecture as well as discovering a lot about religious and social history in western Brittany. Great day, everyone's support and enthusiasm much appreciated.

Dodgy start, turned out well...

We managed to have a lovely walk around the lake this afternoon. The weather was kind to us after a drizzly start and it was great to be out and about in such beautiful scenery. Thanks to all for a very enjoyable time, to Paul for the photo and to three very well-behaved dogs. Allie's turn for Dog of the Day.

Walk on Wednesday 13th February

We have an easy walk with beautiful views around Lac Drennec (near Commana) on WEDNESDAY afternoon, starting from the Centre Nautique parking at 2pm. From the communications mast on top of the Mont d'Arrée take the D764 past Commana - the lake is then signed off to the left after about 1.5kms. The Centre nautique is eventually signed to the right at a grassy triangle.

Parish Close course, March 4 & 6

We have a course on the Parish Closes, the jewel in the crown of Brittany's religious heritage, on Monday March 4 (indoors, 2-4.30pm) and Wednesday March 6 (out and about visiting closes, 10.30am-4.30pm). The first session will cover the background, essential elements and what to look for, then the second session will be practical visits to sites with a chance to put your knowledge to use. By the end you will be able to amaze your visitors by explaining these remarkable architectural ensembles!
Course materials will be provided. Booking in advance, please.
