This year I am heading South

Yesterday evening I left home and rode down to Plymouth to stay with a friend. This morning I was on the 8am ferry to Roscoff as I fancied heading south this year after last years amazing Northern Europe Trip.

As soon as I was off the ferry, it was time to put the bike into metric mode and then turn off motorways and toll roads on the Sat Nav. Then I had a great ride down through some quiet French D roads to Quiberon (here on zoomable map).

This place is the twin of Portland. As you ride over the causeway there are kite surfers everywhere and even a Fort that looks like a prison.

It was warm on the bike today but that to a last minute buy of a Furygan Genesis mesh jacket and kevlar jeans I was not too hot.

I tried to book this site last week by email (yes, in French) and the response was "no need to book, just turn up". On "just turning up" there was only 2 pitches left so good job I was no later as there was someone else who arrived 5 mins after me.

As soon as I was booked in, it was tent up and straight into the sea for a quick swim before heading back to the tent to sort all the other stuff out.
