Description of the walk

Start: The walk will start before the village of Bourgerel, at the roundabout (car park) of the roads "Route de Bourgerel" and "Route de Roguedas".

(S/E) With your back facing the car park, turn left onto the road "Route de Roguedas", direction Penboch / Benalo. Cross Benalo to the crossroads.

(1) Turn left onto the road "Chemin de Doaren Quistinen". Continue to the end of this path to find the KerHenri dolmen (only visible when the grass is cut).

(2) Turn left onto the lane "Chemin du Dolmen er Roch, leaving two roads to the left and a path to the right. Cross Kervadec town, go straight ahead at the junction to reach another junction.

(3) Leave the road on your left and go straight ahead, cross Keranna town and continue to the junction of two roads (left towards "le Vincin").

(4) Turn right towards Roguedas town on the GR®34. Follow the road for 500 m and take the coastal path on the left. Follow the coastline and the GR®34 (around the gulf).
After the descent, follow the dike along the wall, then the path bends to the right to join a tarmac road.

(5) At the junction, turn left and continue along the coastal path. It bends to the right and reaches a 4-ways path junction, at Kerguen town.

(6) Turn left and immediately left again at Haliguen (towards Penboch).

(7) At the bend at Roguedas, turn left onto the path leading to the coast (here to shorten the route, continue straight on to Benalo, following the GR® signs to the car park).

Reach the beach and follow it to the right (beware of certain tides, high tides or high water, the way may be tricky, you'll have to go inland and follow the GR® indications).
Leave the path on the right that leads up to the Penboch campsite and continue along the coastline.
Leave a road on the right and continue for about 150m to a small grove.

(8) Take the path up to the right. Go around the building and turn left to follow the path and then the road (named "impasse de Bourgerel"), cross Bourgerel to reach the roundabout where the car park is. (S/E)
