Tigger from United Kingdom

“It's a bit odd that you list "Gwendrez" and "Plage de Gwendrez". The beach at the point on the map where you have "Plage de Gwendrez" is in fact the Plage de Mesperleuc.

However, as someone notes elsewhere, you also have the "Anse du Cabestan" and "St Tugen" (in fact the same beach) marked in two different wrong places on your map so it's not clear whether you mean Plage de Mesperleuc or not.

You really should sit down with Google maps or similar and correctly name and locate the beaches you're supposedly talking about!

[Editor notes. These have been resolved. Apart from duplicate places "Anse du Cabestan" and "St Tugen"]”
