Just before nine yesterday evening the lovely French family left. They'd been pawing over a map of France for half an hour, obviously planning to drive through the cooler part of the day. Our closest neighbours now were a couple with a teenage son. More importantly, they owned a Land Rover Discovery with roof tent.
Just as talk of football united people around the world, so do Land Rovers, and if we can throw pictures of our Land Rover Defender Muddy Marge into the mix we call that a result. And guess what, they also had a Boxio composting toilet! That's two of us then. The has been a good day, cycling, finding an excellent overnight park up with good company, and rain. Yes at ten, whilst preparing for bed a light rain fell. Bliss. This morning though the novelty had worn off. We awoke to yet more drizzly rain, dark clouds racing cross the lake propelled by a fresh breeze, and cooler temperatures. We'd gone from the high nineties to the high sixties. Quick, find our fleecy tops! Before leaving the south of Brittany there was one more place we wanted to visit. The forest at Huelgoat.
A walk through the trees takes you through a scene of large boulders deposited in both an artistic and chaotic manner. It was both beautiful and interesting.
At the 'Trembling Stone', not wanting to be outdone by the French, John manage to make the stone tremble, it was all about finding the right pressure point. The earth didn't move, but the stone definitely trembled. We think our favourite stone was probably 'The Mushroom', which looked like a giant Cep.
Our time in this area of Brittany over, late afternoon, we drove up to the north coast. The landscape changing from long straight roads, bright yellow fields of corn, and throbbing tractors, to a undulating terrain, and curved lush green fields, and a coastline likened to Cornwall. Although some would say, nicer than Cornwall. After a walk around the small village, where Margery has secured one of the six places on the aire, we strolled down to the impressive large white sand beach to watch the sun go down.
