Crozon

Definitely not a cycling day today - 20 mph northerly wind and chucking it down all day - the rain was decidedly not light!

 

I got wet and cold enough attaching Bob to the bike carrier on the van. This is when I realise that I couldn't do 'proper' cycle touring - the camping cyclists we saw in Poulfen carrying all their equipment will have had a miserable time, but maybe this is their idea of fun!

Crossing the estuary at Brest on a high bridge wasn't going to be a good idea in the wind so we drove the long way round, not exactly in a rush to get to the next soggy campsite. We decided to drive down to the Crozon peninsula   which sticks out into the Atlantic (a great idea in this weather). I'm hoping it should be fabulous to cycle around tomorrow when the rain finally stops - the forecast is still windy but sunny woohoo
