Dinan

The weather was not looking good for a cycle to St Malo. So we moved to Dinan.
The aire under the bridge is very expensive up to 7 pm then it seem to be free. The charges for the parking is rather complex, €0.50 for 30 minutes for the first 2 hours and then €0.80 for 30 mins thereafter. We stopped at the free aire in Lanvalley,  this a 11 minutes cycle ride to the old centre of Dinan.
The town itself is very charming with many medieval building and streets, with the accompanying bars and restaurants and many small shops.
The weather broke and we had a wet cycle back to the van.

Combarro

We drove to the aire near Combarro, for an urgent stop at the service point for water etc. Parked up and walked to Combarro an old fishing village with a number of horreos, food storage buildings on stilts lining the shore. The village itself is well worth a visit, steep narrow streets built on and into the rocks.

Stretton Fox

Handy pub stopover just off the M6 / M56. Some nice real ales at the bar and a rustic atmosphere.  Very busy for a Wednesday night. Food looks good, but we have already eaten, maybe next time. Good night sleep with the soothing drone of the motorway traffic in the distance.
