Back on the road after the pandemic - rediscovering the joy of travel
After a challenging period during the pandemic, we were finally able to get back on the road with Dave! This tour felt like a homecoming, returning to the freedom of motorhome travel after being grounded for so long.
September to November 2021 (approximately 3 months)
This tour was particularly special as it marked our return to international motorhome travel. After being unable to travel freely for so long, every moment on the road felt precious. We revisited favorite spots and found them both familiar and changed, making for a unique and memorable journey.
A day of making our way back to St Malo for an early morning ferry tomorrow, filling up with diesel and gas, buying of French goodies in the supermarket.
Had a walk along the quay which ended up over 8000 steps through the forest and back along the roads. Hour or so’s drive down the dual carriageway to the old Brest to Nantes canal at Lansalaün and a 10mile ride to finish the day.
A nice 16 mile ride through the forest in the morning. Lunch, a drive to Lopérec where we decided to move onto Trégarven by the water.
Stopped at Carnoët and walked to La Vallée des Saints. Moved to a small aire at Poullaouen for the night.
Just a short drive to Guingamp as it looked an interesting town. Market day again, a look at the sights and a walk along the river.
Parked up by the river Trieux, all on our own again. Completed a guided walk through Pontrieux before rain stop play.
Started the day with a heavy thunderstorm but the weather perked up enough for a walk round Tréguier and by the Le Guindy river
Lovely park up at Loguivy de la Mer, cycle into Paimpol for market day and afternoon cycle to Île de Bréhat ferry at L’Arcouest.
Found a lovely hill park just by Bréhec on a hot day.
Well, this pandemic has certainly stopped our travelling in its tracks. Double vaccination and easing of restrictions has led us to decide to go to France for 6 weeks. No plans, just away.
