Hot dogs!

We had a beautiful but very hot walk today in the countryside around La Feuillée. Many thanks to all who came along and waded through the mud (as promised). First new BLACK STAR award for dogs goes to Pebble.....

Looks innocent enough here, doesn't she?

April walk - La Feuillée, Tues 14th

We start our walk at 2pm in the central square of pretty La Feuillée, the highest village in Brittany. It's an 8km route, mostly on lovely rural tracks with views of the Monts d'Arrée. Some sections will be wet and muddy, so boots strongly advised. Let's hope for some more sunny spring weather!

Perfect walking conditions

We had a really enjoyable walk today on the moors of the Monts d'Arrée in hazy sunshine with a brisk wind - ideal conditions for that wild landscape. Half the group also went on a brief detour through the Resistance village of Trédudon-le-Moine, whilst the rest of us ate cake...thanks to Patricia.
Dog of the Day was newcomer Paddy. Special award for Dog Who Ate the Most Cake - Brian.

Across the moors - March 18th

We have a walk in the Monts d'Arrée on Wednesday 18th, starting at 2pm from the parking areas on the Col de Trédudon (D36, short cut off the main road near the huge communications mast). This is an out-and-back route of 6.5kms with an optional extra 2km loop through a former resistance village.
The main part is typical moorland with mostly flat paths, uneven in places, and spectacular views all around - weather permitting! A short stretch of the extra section may be very wet. Please note that the route is very exposed and so potentially windy - hats maybe a good idea...

La Martyre

Luck of BWS pretty much holds...

Despite an unpromising start weather-wise, we managed to be in bars or restaurants during most of the rainfall, and ended the day's tour of the Landerneau area in bright sunshine at the ruined castle of La Roche Maurice. A visit to the parish close of La Martyre in the morning was followed by a town walk around Landerneau itself, admiring the exceptional architectural variety from medieval to modern. It was a lovely day  - many thanks to all who came along and made it so.
