Nothing really to report apart from the day being a total wash out.
We woke to drizzle which turned into rain – we had hoped to go for a six kilometre walk through the woods, but it was too wet. It was a shame as it would have been beautiful with all the gold and reds of the trees.
So we jumped into the Van and headed to the coast, to the town of Le Tréport across varied countryside, the far reaching views obscured by the misty weather. We only had a 73km leap today so we arrived in good time, but alas it was raining here too despite a dry forecast. Early on in this trip, we had met up with some friends who said that we must visit an Action store and we had resisted up to now. But with this awful weather, we found one on a retail park just outside town and went in.
Action is like Britain’s Home Bargains, B&M and such like. Cheap and cheerful. We wandered the aisles and could see why people went in for a couple of things and came out with teetering trollies. We picked up some lights for the Van and a ball for Pup and left before we went overboard. We went to find our campsite, Camping Les Boucaniers and parked up. It was still raining.
So we holed up. We had our usual late lunch and drew straws who would take Pup out for a walk in the rain. It was getting dark early because of the dank weather too. Pup played with her new ball and we chilled until mid evening when we binge-watched a series on telly.
Hopefully it will stop raining tomorrow – we’re hoping to go to a Remembrance Service, have a walk in town and possibly hit a beach for Pup. Fingers crossed.
Sorry no photos – the weather scuppered that idea.
