Very cold again and we only run the heating a short while as the LPG is getting low. We slop out and drive down to the harbour so Ali, Grete and Nick W can take a look around Treguier before we set off towards Cancale. It's an uninspiring, misty drive along mostly dual carriageways with a stop at Yffiac for LPG and another stop in a motorway aire for lunch. The mist has lifted a bit by the time we reach the aire behind the Super-U supermarket. Grete goes to...

When we finally brave the cold and open the blinds everywhere around is white with frost and the sky is clear and blue. We bid our hosts farewell after buying some cidre and begin a reverse run of our trip along the pink Granite Coast exactly three months ago. The temperature varies from 3 to 8C but there is lots of frost on the roads and fields until we get to the coast at St Michel en Greve. We pull in above the empty beach and Ali and Grete walk around the ...

Sub-zero again last night but another bright morning as we set off back through the forest towards Quimper.

Traffic on the N165 is light but there are areas of he...

Very cold this morning, just below zero, but bright and sunny. Nick and Grete haven't been to Brittany for a long time and ask us to plan the route for today. We are all ready to leave at 10:30 and take the short drive to a familiar place for us, St Cado. Unfortunately roadworks mean we cannot go to the port car park but the alternative one still has good views over the quiet little basin, with fishing boats sitting on the edge of the wet mud. Ali walks along...

The sun is out bright and early this morning athought the air temperature is only 7C We deide to go out to the end of the Arzon peninsula, following part of the coast road then heading past Port Crouesty, once a pleasant little port, now a mega-rich sailing centre with a hotel block modelled in the style of a cruise ship. Furthur out is Port Navalo where there is a little bay, narrow streets and small port. We stop for a few minutes by the bay, sparkling in th...
