Grandes Rocques

Had a lovely time walking our dogs with Mum. I don't walk very well and with a stick (MS, balance & coordination is rubbish!) So it was pretty hairy coming down some more gently sloping rocks from the headland (I remember swimming there in the past). It was lovely walking across the beach. We went off the beach by the kiosk and it's a shame it's not a bit better for those of us who don't walk well.
