Callac walk - Wednesday, December 10th

We have a beautiful country walk at Callac for our first December event. Meet in parking area by the mairie (and famous horse sculpture) at 2pm for an 8.5km rural circuit including lakeside tracks and hill views. One gradual climb, otherwise an easy-going route.
RESERVATIONS please to brittanywalks@orange.fr

A walk of two halves...

We had a good walk around Carhaix yesterday, despite light rain in the second half, and saw many of the relatively small details that reflect the town's interesting past, including part of a Roman aqueduct and a 1913 steam-train. Thanks to everyone who came along.

Carhaix - Monday November 17th

We meet in the parking by the Eglise St Tremeur (near Noz Vad hotel) for a 2pm start. This town walk (with commentary) will look at the chequered history of Carhaix through the ages. Total distance less than 4km.
Please remember to book for this event by sending an email to brittanywalks@orange.fr

Rain and sunshine - such is life

We began today's walk in heavy drizzle and ended in golden sunshine, with plenty of enjoyable bits in between, including a look (but no tea) at Don's millhouse. Greatest excitement was a Brittany Walks first - DOG LOCKS KEYS IN CAR. For that reason alone Pebble - who also locked herself in and never made the walk - is Dog of the Day, although Alan might not agree she deserves it....

Walk on Wednesday 15th October

Our walk this week starts at 2pm from the Chapelle Ste-Marguerite on the D17 a few kilometres south of Plouyé (direction Landeleau/Collorec). There is a large car-park at the chapel.
The route of 7.5kms passes through pleasant countryside of woods and streams, using hard-surfaced or grassy tracks and quiet roads, with no sudden or significant changes of gradient. Boots essential as ground will be wet. Reservations in advance please, to brittanywalks@orange.fr

Next Monday (20th): STUDY DAY at Huelgoat. Saints, sinners, warriors and weirdos - interesting people in Brittany's history (see www.brittanywalks.com).
