landevennec/ Le Fret

Landevennec/ Le Fret

Ce matin, les yeux sont tout collants de fatigue.

La veille malgré nos recherches, on nous avait dit pas de pain( fallait réserver la veille au matin), ni de café ouvert avant 10h30 au village; on était sur le camping municipal géré par mr le maire en personne: un homme qui a bien 80 ans, fait le tour le matin et vient noter dans son carnet qui a dormi là la nuit.

Donc après le pointage de Monsieur le maire, on est partit à l épicerie communale chercher de quoi manger pour ce matin et ce midi... une expérience matinale sans café à vivre...ou pas: un autre Monsieur, d un âge bien avancé, qui est perdu dans ses commandes et semble dépasser par le nombre de personnes dans son épicerie...

Nous n'avons pas compris, mais on a eu le droit à une baguette non réservée la veille ?! Sachant que nous allions rien croiser dans la journée, on l'a pris!

On s'avance pour aller manger notre bout de pain face à l'église et là un pti café/hôtel où ça sent mamie quand tu rentres.. merci mamie sauveuse pour tes cafés!

Aujourd'hui, parce qu'on est devenues des vraies sportives ou simplement parce qu'on est des dingues, on fait 2 étapes en une. En réalité, on avait prévu 8km le samedi matin avant de reprendre le bateau, mais on sait dit si on pousse un peu aujourd'hui, demain on sentira bon dans le train!

Alors, on retrouve notre GR34 et nous voilà parties pour 25km!

On a essentiellement traversé des bois...où les traces de la tempête sont encore bien présentes et où parfois la terre est encore fort boueuse...

A Litany of Towns

(for having lived, for a time, in Brittany)

Crozon’s a dowager with two left feet; Morgat the loose sister who knows and tells all. Brest’s blue ramparts have known defeat - Even its cap-stones learned to crawl!

La Fret’s special island has only a view; Le Fouet’s bon marche sells neither souls nor chattel. Locranon’s incense is shot with rue, While Landevennec reeks of slow cattle.

Dournanez’s sardines drowned overnight. Lorient’s defenders once bled. Plomodiern seems to be doing all right; Lostmarc’h is very likely stone-dead.

Rennes issues fiats as if it might lose A voice that’s used to shouting; Quimper oversells its medieval news; Beauteous Penhir is pouting.

Innumerable entities can’t all be crowned With laurels whose withering’s assured. Where there’s wealth, injustice abounds While a clutch of syllables has endured.

--Brett Busang

De argol à landevennec 

Le soleil sort et nous reprenons la route pour encore 10km en plus de ceux de ce matin...

On essaye de fuir les départementales tant bien que mal car la tempête Ciaran de l'an passé a laissé pas mal de pins couchés et Monsieur débroussailleuse n'est pas encore passé partout...

Une côte après l'autre avec notre marche musculaire (private joke), on aperçoit de nouveau la mer... et un pti spot paradisiaque pour en profiter.

Installation de la tente les pieds dans l'eau avant d'aller se gâter sur une terrasse avec vue sur l'embouchure.

Parce qu'on ne pouvait pas repartir sans goûter les huîtres bretonnes...
