After a very windy night the rain seems to have moved on through, though still blustery and cloudy it was ideal for a walk along the expansive beach that is Plage de Calais and then runs on into Plage de Beriot and finally Plage de Sangatte before being punctuated by Cap Blanc Nez.

We join the beach at the beach hut lined start of Calais North – Plage de Bleriot…..

With Tilly keen to go off lead and enjoy some freedom….

To our right is Plage de Calais – the dog ban doesn’t actually come into effect until 15th June…

We enjoy a lovely walk, bracing as we are walking into the wind, for a mile or so until we stop for a while to enjoy life before heading back….

In the distance along the promenade we can see that the Dragon of Calais looks to be coming to life so we take a small detour to watch as it impressively trundles very slowly along the promenade towards us – wow….

Today’s stats:

• Mikes walked – 5
• Beaches – 2
• Dragons – 1
• O/N – £15.00
