Geocache Description:

This cache is to celebrate my sister’s pilot skills and our few flights together. After landing, she goes exploring the surrounding area on her folding bike. One of her favourite destinations is Ile d’Yeu where she goes for a swim on white sandy beaches.

The cache is NOT at the coordinates above.

Stop for a moment to read the commemorative stone in remembrance and celebration of the Combined Forces who fell during the Normandy campaign – 6th June 1944..
