The youth hostel at Port Pican

Whoops - bad start - left the map behind.  Fortunately the owner of the B&B found it and chased after me.  Bit of a dull section on made up road, so I can understand why guide books deviate on to coastal paths.   

GPS seemed like a really good idea - but the battery gave up before lunch and my spares didn’t seem to work!!  However was able to buy some more at lunch time and stopped in a sunny church square by which time I’d covered around 15k.

I spent a less than exciting couple of hours plodding along behind the sea wall but around 3.30pm I could see Cancale ahead, the walking improved with a lovely coastal footpath - and then it really was Brittany.  I should really have had oysters in Cancale as that is what it is famous for - but as it was mid afternoon I decided to settle for an icecream instead!

My legs are fine but my shoulders have tightened up.  After all, carrying a rucksack is something I don’t have much experience of.  The map indicated that I had 4k to go.   Well, it was a very  long 4k round the coastal path to tonights youth hostal  where I arrived around 5.00pm.

Looking forward to heading towards St Malo tomorrow.
