Geocaches - 3
Walk Inspiration - Guernsey Tourist Board
Another beautiful evening in the Channel Islands. With the supply of St Peter Port's Good Beer Guide pubs exhausted, it's time for alternative entertainment.
Fortunately, Guernsey Tourist Board offer a series of short walks on their web site.
I choose to follow in the footsteps of Les Miserables Author, Victor Hugo, who spent 15 years in exile on the Island.
This takes me around St Peter Port, climbing through Candie Park to the Tower and down all the way to Castle Cornet. I tried to find his home in Hautville but struggled with the exact location. Google Maps showed it to be directly opposite the Cock and Bull Pub but I'll be damned if I could find anything impressive on the ground. Research shows its closed in 2018 but surely, they can't have moved it.
A few photos.

Good work from Guernsey Tourist Board - plenty of other walking options from there, should I be heading back.
