Friday 20th September – Walk and bike**** Etratat from all sides!!
Sunny periods
We woke up to blue skies:) After breakfast moved off and did some
shopping at Lidl in Fecamp. We passed a McDonalds and decided to go and
try to sort out the computer – 2 hours and many scans later we had put
some photos on and caught up on e-mail etc.. Drove on to Yport which was a
really nice little sea front between the cliffs with an Arch through the
rock on the left hand side of the beach. We had our lunch here and filled
up with water. Carried on to Etretat which has fantastic cliffs on both
sides of the town and the most picturesque Arches. We parked on the cliff
top and walked along to the right first of all. There was a footpath with
lots of steps down nearly to the beach (another step ladder, this time
ending in the sea!). There was a tunnel through the rock and we went
through that, great fun. I walked out to where a fisherman was fishing
right near the arch. Back to the van then we drove to the other side of
town to see if we could find a place to access the cliffs on the left hand
side. After lots of searching we finally decided to park in the entrance
to a farm track and take the bikes. It was really great – the path led
to the cliffs and there were several arches:) We had to leave the bikes
locked up because the path was very up and down and very steep in places.
We walked for miles and really enjoyed it. On our search for the
appropriate path we had found a good spot to park for the night at the
Phales d’Antifer – another lighthouse. We had curry for tea and
watched the sun set and the full moon rise. A really good day:)
