Just over three weeks ago we were parked at the campervan parking area in Barfleur, and that is where we are once again. After leaving France, we were determined to return as soon as possible, and our idea was to walk some of the coast. That idea was abandoned, as at home we have the start, or end (depending on which direction you walk it), of the south west coast path on our doorstep. So at our young age we invested in some equipment ready to set off on June 5th. Sadly the weather forecast was terrible. So we abandoned. Before the weather changed though we walked from our house to Swanage via the Agglestone rock.
It was only eighteen miles! Needless to say we caught the bus home. So forced to change our plans we decided over the next four weeks to look for better weather on France's Atlantic coast and in southern Brittany. Fingers crossed upon our return we will walk a section of the south west coast path to Lyme Regis or beyond.
Today has been a long day. Awake just before four this morning, must have been excited, we were glad when the car ferry arrived at Cherbourg.
France is so much busier now, and we were lucky to secure a parking place for Margery. This holiday will involve lots of walking, we need to keep our steps up. And after our mammoth drive through France, Spain and Portugal last time Margery will be taking life a little easier.
