Nick's biking blog

Having stayed at 27 different campsites of varying styles and standards on this trip, I have noticed a distinct trend. If the facilities are modern, immaculate and enticing, the showers are likely to be lukewarm and disappointing. However, if the shower block is an unappealing, draughty, 1950s tin shack, you will often-as-not experience a luxuriant, steaming torrent, heated by the fires of Hades. La Prairie at Le Crotoy happily falls into the latter category. Le Crotoy itself perches windswept among dunes and seems a town-that-time-forgot, more my kind of place at the moment than trendy St-Valery across the bay (previous photo). A steam train runs between the two. Lots of cycle paths here and also one all along the Somme from Abbeville.
