A grey start to the day but it did improve with age. Having bagged myself a quiet corner spot in the Aire last night it slightly backfired this morning when we woke to this….

Yep time to harvest the maize – still I’m not complaining as they didn’t actually appear until just before nine but now the can does seriously need a good downpour to wash off all the dust!

We set off out about 10.30 heading south to start off with to the first beach – Plage Grèves des Fosses – more of a shore fishing beach with not much sand in sight…

We didn’t venture any nearer and about turned heading northwards towards Cap Frehel the most northerly point of this small peninsula – following the coastal path GR34 we walked along Plage l’Anse du Croc….

Before climbing up the cliffs and down again to our next beach – Plage Greves d’en Bas where we enjoyed a break whilst watching a surf school in action ….

The next two beaches were stunningly remote, in fact I’m not sure that the second one was accessible without a scramble – Plage de la Fosse and Plage de Port Sud-Est….

Eventually we arrived at Cap Frehel, the lighthouse and the most northerly rock beyond and enjoyed some quiet time just taking in the amazing sea and sky in front of us…

Next stop Jersey just about visible to the naked eye – we had considered walking around to take a closer look at Fort de Latte or Chateau de la Roche Goyon that we admired from St Cast yesterday but decided that that was just a step too far and so made an about turn and made our way back to the van – the views weren’t bad company ….

Thoughts of the day:

• We are really enjoying the walking along this section.
• Most of the photos used here were taken on the way back as the sun finally broke through.
• There were motorhomes parked up in lay-bys along the route – but all the car parks were prohibiting overnight camping so I’m not sure if the lay by dwellers were taking the chance or just out walking and enjoying the day.

Today’s stats:

• Miles driven – 0
• Miles walked – 10
