Breakfast nice trail during the holidays in Cote d'Armor, Plourhan is 3 or 4 km from the sea, between St Brieuc and Paimpol.

Initially, 10 hours for 17 km, it is already pretty hot to borrow various trails and paths zig-zagant between maize and undergrowth. All this part is generally downhill since Plourhan is 75 m above sea level and should reach the beach at the Stables Godelins-sur-Mer.

So the first few miles seem pretty easy, good looks ... but I remember the proverb Breton " Gortoz year noz eo bet evit lavarout Kaer year deiz" (wait for night to say that the day was good) and runner-language: "wait the finish line to say that the race went well! ".

Some nice climbs and descents still before reaching a concrete staircase that leads down to a passage in the rocks, and finally this beautiful beach where we discovered a low tide sand hard, do not flee under the runnings, a small fresh sea breeze filling out this happy to race here.

Got to enjoy it, because then it's hell. As the Romans, the Tarpeian is near the Capitol in a few meters over the freshness of the beach, the sun beats down, the more you feel the wind, climbs and descents shovel, a staircase of a hundred steps (down I begin to climb rapidly 2 by 2 and the top is one by one ... slowly ...). Even false dishes seem difficult, the return to Plourhan seems endless and I'm 1 hr 41'35 and for once not in the first half of the ranking (57th out of 103) .

But it is a beautiful trail, welcoming, well organized, the signs are well done, on arrival: water, coke, rose wine ... to repeat if the opportunity arises!
