With the cold drawing in, I thought I'd bring out some nice warm and sunny pictures. Here is a little write up about my summer trip I did to Brittany with my boyfriend Andy, we packed the kayaks (I took the P&H Cetus LV and Andy was in the Perception Essence 17) and road bikes and headed out to stay near Le Pouldu.
Here are a few pictures of some of the trips we did.
This was our first day paddling, the weather was lovely. It was sunny and warm and the sea was pretty calm for us to get out and start exploring.
We paddled along the coast and found Port De Doelan a lovely little village and stopped for a spot of lunch.
On our second day we decided to go a little further, the tides were right so we paddled up the La Laita River from Le Pouldo to Quimperle where we stopped for lunch before paddling back down again. It was a good 20 mile paddle, but definitely worth it as the scenery was great and we saw some wildlife including a dear and turtles or terrapins.
Once we reached the town the river forked and both were impassable because of weirs, this being one of them.
The final day of paddling involved a quick paddle to an island not far off the coast and a spot of lunch.

Whilst we were paddling along a deer swam across the river in front of us.

Grand railway bridge on the way back.
It got a little hot on the way back so I got my legs out to cool off.

Also on our trip we did some really nice road biking, ate some yummy French food and plenty of ice creams. What more could you want from a holiday?
