This is a climb of two halves. First the lovely quiet lane through farmland, a little rough and some decent gradients. Take care when crossing the main road to continue on the 'classic' section of Menez Hom through open moorland. In high season expect cars shuttling to and from the summit car park. Great views.

De Menez Hom is “de” berg van de omgeving. Steekt als een kale puist boven de omgeving uit. Lekker rustige beklimming op een maandag in juni, in toeristenoord zal dat anders zijn . Het eerste gedeelte tot waar je de grotere weg kruist is super rustig met een asfalt met wat gaten. Ergens in dat eerste stuk gaf de Garmin 14％ aan. Je begint in landelijk gebied met hagen. Na de kruising een lagere heideachtige vegetatie met dopheide. Helling wordt ook minder steil. Bovenop een geweldig uitzicht over de baai van Douarnenez, Brest en een getijderivier.
