It was hotter still today as there seemed to be less breeze around, so we left it until mid afternoon before venturing out for a proper walk – this time heading south, again along the cycle path, to St Pierre….

Our furthest point, a couple of miles away was Plage de la Pinede…

Here we stopped for a breather and a drink and for Till to have a bit of off lead time, before heading back this time where possible along the coastal path firstly via Plage Sun Beach….

Next up was Plage Calanque de Tardieu….

Plage de Port St Piere (looking rather like a private beach and definitely no dogs allowed on here…

The next section of coastal path was more a case of clambering over rocky outcrops but encountering some delightful little coves along the way….

Around another rocky outcrop was this serene little Port Ferreol….

Here the coastal path seemed to disappear and we had to detour through a residential area on the other side of the main road for a while until we could rejoin the coast at Plage du Corsaire….

A further rather dodgy section of coastal path…

Took us back to Plages de la Gaillarde Ouest, des Eclaireurs and finally Plage de la Gaillarde and home in time for tea….

Thoughts of the day:

• Why are washing machines a or rather the repair thereof seem to be a very low priority for campsites? I guess most ordinary holiday folk are not that bothered but for those of us on long term travel they are rather essential, especially as that is the main reason we stay on campsites!
