Another very misty and chilly morning until late morning so we decided to sit it out on site before moving a couple of miles up the road to our first couple of beaches – still somewhat shrouded in mist was Plage de St Benoit-des-Ondes and a bit further on Plage de Porcon….

Our next stop was the large village of Cancale where we spent a couple of frustrating hours on the phone trying to sort out the fact that any internet access has disappeared (late yesterday afternoon) which is very debilitating as even Apple Maps doesn’t work – in the end I solved it myself as I had the VPN set to the UK and somehow this was making a fairly weak signal here in France even worse – you live and learn. That sorted and as the day has rather runaway with us we decided to park up in the local Aire and head off on foot to explore the beaches on offer. First we made our way down to Baie de Radegonde – not much of a beach really – again mostly crushed shells leading down to rather muddy sand….

But much like its neighbour Plage de Houle, both beaches were backed by a promenade and street lined with bars and cafes – all those that were open were busy on this beautiful sunny afternoon….

From here we walked on back up to the old town – looking down on the Oyster and Mussel farms of Cancale where many folk sat enjoying fresh oysters from the local market…

From the old town we walked around the headland to look down on Plage de l’Abri des Flots…..

Before wandering back through the town to the Aire…

Thoughts of the day:

• Technology – I used to be so up to speed with it all but now I’m afraid a lot of it is just a mystery!
• It is nice to see so many people out just enjoying the fine weather – it is a very European thing to do just wandering along the promenade or sitting outside a bar enjoying the sun – even on a school night!

Today’s stats:

• Miles driven – 10
• Miles walked – 6
• Beaches – 6
• Aire –
