Sun 22nd march
We enjoyed the drive up the coast north, via Dieppe for LPG then onto Le Crotoy on the Baie De Somme. We have been here before several times and enjoy the walks along the beach and into the town. Today it was busy with weekenders despite the cold north wind. The aire was relatively quiet with a mix of French and Belgian vans. The surface had been improved with no visible potholes, last August the French were not paying to stay as they had decided the surface was terrible and until improved they were not paying!
beach walk
Mon 23rd
After a stroll along the beach we packed up and headed north to Montreuil Sur Mer which is actually inland. Another favourite of ours we have visited many times over the years. The aire is very close to the town centre and very quiet at night. We walked along the ramparts before retiring indoors for tea and a snooze in the warm sunshine. Very relaxing..............
Montreuil free aire - near town square
Montreuil ramparts - lots of trees chopped down
Tues 24th
As I sit here typing up our blog Tina is in the laundry as we need clean clothes for our return to the UK tomorrow. In 24hrs we will back in Blighty so today we are stocking up on wine and beer before spending our last night of our year away in the carpark at Escalles. Very mixed emotions - we are both looking forward to being back but at the same time do not want our adventure to end.
Have a great day, both. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I note the title of your blog is The Big Adventure - PART 1, so here's looking forward to Part 2 . . . . I've thoroughly enjoyed reading about your travels, following your trail on Google Earth and learning more about the places you've been through Wikipedia etc. It's been a read education; many thanks for sharing. Very Best Wishes. Roger
