Tuesday Barneville to St Germain sur Plage.
Today after a bit of difficulty found the GR and then got on to the beach and then down to PortBail, which had a market in progress, we wandered up and down and bought a large flatfish called a something in French can’t remember but the lady fishmonger expertly filleted it and we will eat it shortly, also some fresh garlic (not dried) never cooked with that before! After that across the foot bridge (a better crossing than yesterday) and back gradually to the beach.
Along the beach for a way brought us to another minor estuary with the tide out, this one was much more to Tony’s liking and there was no need for persuasion to save another 2 miles before lunch on the other side above the high tide mark. We have really been lucky with the tides in cutting these corners. At two points on the beach we saw locals racing horses with the French equivalent of Irish Jaunting carts, we think these were training exercises as there were no crowds or bookmakers!
St Germain really is out of season, so we were lucky to find a small supermarket which opened at 4:30 to pick up some liquids for supper.
