Cap de L’homy to Plage des Casernes

Enjoyed a morning swim at the beach in Cap de L’Homy. Queued up to make use of the laundry facilities at the campsite where a German lady provided some advice about camping etiquette and traditions. She said that most of the German visitors, who based on vehicle registration plates and language spoken appeared to make up most of the occupants, were from the North Rhine-Westphalia area.

The cycle path continued mostly through forests, avoiding the towns and the majority of the traffic although I stopped to get some lunch at the boulangerie in the small village of Léon. It was a fairly short ride down to the next campsite near Plage des Casernes, where the afternoon became increasingly cloudy and later there would be some rain overnight.

Down at the beach kiteboarders were making the most of the strong northerly wind.

Distance: 29 miles

Maximum temperature: 23 degrees C

Having been inspired by reading other cyclist's stories about travelling around Europe by bike along the "Eurovelo" cycling network, and following Mark Beaumont's record breaking cycling journey around the world, in early summer 2018 I decided to cycle down the west coast of France towards Spain. This blog aims to document the trip.
