Day 1 - This the Saturday so very short (3 kms) as you may well arrive with us late

Simply a 3 km wobble down the canal towpath to the stunning ruined Abbay of Bon Repos and your hotel in it's grounds...

Day 2 - 22 kms and so lots of time to meander through the country lanes to get to the hotel at St Nicolas Du Pelem, a sleepy market town (big village really).

Day 3 - 50kms (32 miles) and by some distance the longest day. However before you panic the last 10 kms is almost all down hill so you arrive much more quickly than you expected. The destination is the gorgeous little tourist trap of Binic, the hotel overlooks the marina, the beach awaits and it's our favourite coastal village.

Day 4 - well of course you need to enjoy Binic and its delights for a second day.

Day 5 - After a day off probably the hardest day of the week as you inevitably have to climb up from the coast and there's a few hills besides, however it's only 30 kms so you could walk it in 5 hours, no need to panic then:-) The upside is that the cycling is through beautiful countryside and the reward is the town of Quintin with its walled citadel and a hotel which does the most fabulous meals...

Day 6 - Another 30 kms wandering through the countryside and passing sleepy little villages (and restaurants). However we'd advise a very light lunch as your hotel tonight in Mur de Bretagne is the tiny 'bar' 'Les Chantes des Oiseaux' and the meal gargantuine... If you can manage to stagger down to the lake for a walk afterwards it's worth the effort.

Day 7 (Friday) - 20 kms. Now the return to base mostly on the old railway track that skirts the Lac de Guerledan - a lovely way to end the holiday and a last night at the Hotel at Bon Repos again.
