Cornwall, Norway Cruise and France.

When we were there in June, barrier didn’t work in or out, Frenchman , after calling CCP took barrier off!
There is a lovely restaurant outside the walls of the town, left as you walk from the aire, unfortunately we only discovered it after eating a very mediocre meal in town!

Don't stress it, majority are lovely. I will take a picture later of our view from the motorhome of the sea view.

Pictures of our walk to the Bakery and the bar which we weren't planning on.
I was enjoying the walk so much we walked a extra 20 minutes past the turn into town , to be honest the extra exercise won't hurt .

Sorry forgot to mention our location.

There's an interesting geocache by that cannon. See post #159 on this thread.

Two Back in France

And it's hot. 32°C in the van now at 23:00 and 28°C outside. The coast is beckoning.

Lunch could have been from 2 different restaurants.
My Moules Normandie was delightful, a true example of French bistro food
Phils fish and chips could have come from a 1970s truck stop, not good.
Stick to the classics in France I say.

 

[scousebird]

If you want fish & chips then there's a British chippy in Confolens but it's a bit of a run from where you are.

Those extra 20 minutes give you 2 more beers or half a bottle of wine. Win/win

Its not a full on sea view but good enough considering there's only space between to get chairs out. We are going to sit under the shade of the trees. Perfect

Congratulations to Phil's nephew

He's got into his prefered mathematics school in Leeds so he's very happy.

That's nice, so you can get the chairs out on a CCP , thought that was classed as camping or is it just the Aire's where that's not allowed ??

 

[lorger]

Congratulations to Phil’s nephew, he’s obviously a bright young lad and hopefully thrives at college/Uni.

CCP sites allow camping behaviour.

You can get chairs and stuff out on the CCP sites normally.

Indeed many are former municipal campsites.

Every aire in france i have been on except maybe 2 have allowed chairs out, however in Spain unless it says its OK, do not put your chairs out.

Ok thanks for the Heads Up

A lovely cycle up along the coast and back stopping for some light refreshment at a beach cafe/bar.
42 kilometres, mostly flat so quite easy.

was the food good, because the breaded Chicken looks like its from Iceland and the chips look a bit naff.... not up to your usual standard boys

The menu read well, you're right the chicken was naff but there was a lovely soft boiled egg and large anchovies under the salad which saved it.

42km on a bicycle? Are you sure?
