Abbaye Church, Licques |
Beginning of an 4 day epic battle with the weather. Woke up at the La Forge in Guînes.
Aim was Licques about 15km.

Started walking at 9:30 from Guînes and it was snowing. The road to Licques was surreal and quite pleasant.
Arrived in Licques around 12:30 and walked to the campsite that reportedly had chalets open year around. Well it was closed. In fact just about everything was closed, including the Abbey/Church. Went into a cafe next to the church and had a couple of beers. Asked the proprietor for assistance in finding accommodation. Fortunately, she had an English speaking friend. She found a place about 5km away from Licques in a town called Bainghen. I scored with the Retour aux Sources. It was super comfortable and perfect shelter from the storm. Very quiet.
