We had already decided about what we wanted to do: another cliff path walk (yes, another one!).
The idea was to walk from La Grève de Lecq to Sorel Point, the northernmost point of the island, stopping at Devil's Hole.
Because we took so many pictures, I shall break up our walk into two posts. The first part is marked red on the map, the second blue. The blue arrow points to Devil's Hole.
Two buses took us to Le Grève de Lecq, a small place with a big beach. I liked the blue theme and the bunting:
As on our previous walks, once again the cliff path offers spectacular views. After yesterday's rain, it was still rather hazy over the water, so that we could not see very far out.
The path was as rocky and steep as this only in parts:
In my next post, I'll show and tell you more about Devil's Hole and the second half of our walk.
Don't get too close to the edge! Is that OK pictured there? Tell him to turn around next time, but be careful, we don't want him going over!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely walk, I would have loved it.
And you are so right about having great weather on the very last day of your holiday, that always used to happen to us when we went to a Florida beach for a long weekend!
It was lovely, Kay, and we were very glad to have that beautiful day and make the most of it before we had to leave!
DeleteYes, that's O.K. there. He says he does not mind me showing this picture on my blog, but he does not feel comfortable about his "proper" picture published on my blog.
I wasn't keen on stepping as far to the cliff's edge as he did!
I have such a fear of heights that one coast walk in Cornwall almost did me in.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind heights, but I am safety-conscious, and would not have stood where O.K. stood in the one picture!
DeleteSuch beautiful photos! I would not soon be tired of walking cliff paths and looking at the sea which is always changing.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to do something different on the other days, but we were happy to end our holiday with another cliff path, just the way we had started it. It really is something I would never tire of.
DeleteIt's a strange thing but I'm not particularly scared of heights myself (I'd rather abseil down a cliff face than go up a ladder) but I get really cold inside when other people go near the edge. I had a friend who insisted on walking right on the cliff edge and in the end I just couldn't walk with her if she did. She stopped when she realised just how badly it affected me.
ReplyDeleteI love your cliff walks by the way.
I think I am the same. It comes from having a sort of belief in ones own immortality - well, I suppose it is just as well most of us have something like this otherwise I suppose we would stay pinned to the wall forever ! :)
DeleteThank you, Graham! We loved those walks, too, and writing about them, sorting through the pictures etc. makes them last longer :-)
DeleteLike you and Jenny, I trust myself more when it comes to judging height, distances and so on, than I trust others. O.K. wasn't really unreasonable, but I was relieved when he was back on the path again.
If I lived in a place like this, I would walk the cliff paths as often as possible. Healthy activity surrounded by beauty. Thanks so much for all the lovely postings.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome, Nan!
DeleteOn each of our cliff walks, we saw people who actually RAN (jogged) the paths... they looked like they were doing this on a regular base.
