WRD goes to Brittany - Land Rover Series 3

Taking the Portsmouth- St Malo ferry to France with my Series 3 Land Rover, meeting up with family for a week's holiday. We stayed near the town of St Guen in Brittany, spending much time swimming and kayaking the nearby Lac de Guerledan. We visited an evening market in Mur de Bretagne, complete with abseiling and found a quirky little electrical museum, among other things.

Thanks for sharing your adventures, the old gal did well, 👍

[@brianbrelsford6436]

nice long journey she performed perfectly .

[@steamwally]

Yes, fortunately! She goes particularly well in hot weather and generally it's a fun summer vehicle. Evidently they don't see them in France, the locals were quite enthusiastic about it wherever I went.

Welcome back..

[@Sidchasingclassiccars]

Reminds me of when I took my old ex army 109" back to our place near La Rochelle. A year later I came back in it for an MOT and decided to sell it. Bad move! 😢

Funny that you ended up behind a new Defender on the ferry

[@steamwally]

Yeah! It did amuse me that the driver saw fit to test his engine some time before we had to disembark.. several Range Rover drivers did the same thing..

[@squeaksvids5886]

I noticed that. I guess you could say the new Defender was in front of its Grandfather.

[@martincunniff4514]

What size tyres are you running? Great video by the way

[@jamespunch8049]

I can see that you definitely need overdrive on highway trips.

[@mechanicalmoron2251]

i just brorght a s2a 109 station wagon no overdrive when shes on the road that 2.25 diesel is going to be screaming down the m1 at 34mph

[@steamwally]

They love to pootle at about 34mph.... but it'll get along at 50 alright..

[@mechanicalmoron2251]

@@steamwally im going to try to get 70 from her :)

[@anthonyhendrikx6175]

Nice trip looks like it☺️ what is the average speed you drive on the motor way?

[@steamwally]

It certainly was, a week just wasn't enough. I cruised along at a steady 60mph on the faster roads. On more minor roads, the speed limits are quite low and very much suited to Land Rovers. I didn't actually travel on any motorways, all "N" and "D" roads, the motorways have a 130kph speed limit.
