The plan was to go to Dives sur mer early do the shopping (wine) in Lidls. Park, go for a cycle, move up to montreuil, couple of days return Sunday.
Put the wrong aire into the satnav and went to cabourg. Didn't fancy that as rammed and no Lidls so went to Lidls Dives sur mer. Possibly the...
Early start this morning as we went to a previously visited aire at Hérouvillette, obviously free with jeton for 10 minutes of water. Nothing of note in the town but spaces for 9 and no more with 120 euro fine mentioned several times. Lavoir opposite
And a reconstructed photo of our last visit...
It was supposed to be dry so I left without waterproofs and Paula left without the flask of hot water for drinks.
This was to be a long journey so I kicked butt and we were ready to leave by 1100 hrs !
The voie vert is easily the widest we have been on. It has very recently been resurfaced in...
Having gone to Lidls and got 2 huge duck breasts for 8.49 I ventured down the middle aisle whilst she sorted out the sundries required.
Oh yeah, 4 of those not quite Lycra, not quite thermal, quite windproof, not fully water resistant cycling tops for 8 euros each (probably 30 quid in UK)
So...
A wet day to be followed by another wet day but 3 hours of non rain saw us go for it on the voie vert.
Great hard packed surface of double width and flat until you got past periers where it turned to single railway track width and rough mix of cinder and stone.
Nice old railway stations with...
Yet again, and fully expected for our last week, we have been on weather watch.
It was a relatively slow road up to Lessay on red tarmac.
Our window of opportunity was until 1445 hrs according to weather reports so a 30 km round trip out to St Germain sur at up to la Haye and back on the voie...
It was to be a hot day so we have shot across from Redon to glanville in about 3 hours with an overnight stop.
Free daytime spots are available but a road closure forced us down this road with an 8.50 aire 300 m from the beach. It beat us having to later find a free overnight aire. Water...
Very late in the day decision to make a semi reasonable appearance at an aire (1924 hrs) as warm weather may get us a beach day finally so instead of heading backwards we decided on the Cherbourg peninsular and as this is a village of character we could have a walk round as well as use the free...
We have been here before. A couple of times in the same holiday. It rained on the first occasion and looked terrible, met with Paula's parents on second occasion and looked great. Parking has moved to a tight bridge over a canal then car park adjacent to another canal a sand wedge away from...
An unusual day for us. A 4 day aire stop and we nearly ended up paying !
We woke at Theix but we wanted to go across the Causeway that we mucked up the timing on yesterday, so we drove to St Colombier, and cycled down from there. It was 6 km to cross and then go the other end of the Island. It...
Today was to be a dry day, and we decided to just cycle and see where we got to.
Occasional views of the Gulf
And on very good/excellent old roads that are dedicated cycle lanes
And some old roads being done up causing a diversion
And spotting an free aire where we are now going to...
Our free aire at Theix was selected for 2 days, to enable us to go to Vannes, a place that has miraculously not been visited previously but passed on many occasions, and tomorrow cycling the golf of morbihan (if boats are operating)
It has 4 spaces, water and dump, picnic area and very...
An early morning decision that we werent going to remain with this years clear winner of Mr Angry from Pontivy.
We were staying another day away from Vannes area owing to weather, yet again, so needed an aire, preferably free, somewhere in that direction, where we could cycle. and surprisingly...
This needs to start with the tale of last night.
Bloke in a car turned up and parked next to us. He was asleep in the afternoon in the back.
From inside the van we thought he was praying and perhaps Muslim as the wailing started, then the dog was whining , a horrible whine then the slamming of...
Too many local festivals this weekend and not enough cycling routes gave consideration to moving on a Friday for the weekend and cycling back for the festivals.
And we found a very recently ex municipal campsite with only one review in June from all the apps and Google.
The main campsite is...
Occasional shower day today with bright afternoon with winds rising. Decision made we were going off at the crack of Dawn for Paula at 1000 hrs.
We would head for Groueac and try to pick up some LPG and adblue en route. Successful with the former and bad luck with the latter (especially as it...
Left Spezet this morning and went to Cleden-Poher where we noted a 5km slog back from the canal we intended to cycle. Free leccy and water and loads of space but we fancied not cycling uphill. It was raining all day as well so location was important.
So we found this aire on the voie vert...
Weather was our determining factor for decision making today. It has been damp most of the holiday but from the afternoon the forecast says getting moister ...... For a week.
But of a shame as we had found 5 free aires right on beaches just a little east of us around Nevez.
So because of...
Thought we might have to get here early on a forecasted nice day. No need. Plenty of space. We have been before. It's a couple of fields with hedged perimeter and a middle driveway which is bumpy and muddy if wet, but where you park is solid. No water or dump but there are bins. It sits right...
Woke up to drizzly day and headed down to Pont L'abbe.
There is an official aire to the rear of E Leclerc. We tend to avoid Supermarket aires unless they are appropriately positioned and we thought this one was as we could cycle to South and West Coast from here in a couple of days. Combrit by...

We are 59 and nearing 58 and getting very close to early retirement which may come in the form of medical retirement as I have Cauda Equina and that causes back pain and prevents sitting upright or standing for about 10 minutes without immediate lieing down or walking or self physio.

It is that time of year when we go on holiday and I do a journal. I call it a thrournal as I start with a journal and copy it into a thread. Hopefully others will do journals in the upcoming period as well. And the journal map is very helpful for holiday planning.
This holiday will be 28 days...
