Saturday 21st May
Sounds like a huge walking effort today - involving 1300m of "up" in 7 1/2 hours in hot sunshine. Both reported being exceedingly tired by the end of the day, but also extremely happy, as they found a mountain-top refuge with hot food and cold beers. Bliss
Sunday 22nd May
Long walk of 20k today, but happily in cooler temperatures only 17 today.In fact, for most of the day thick mist enveloped them! By the time they found a suitable place to "wildcamp" the mist had turned to rain, and they spent the evening cooking up (and I quote) McCheese mountains! Still, they were next to a river and in the middle of alpine forest, so doesn't sound all bad.
Rick kept Sarah amused my snoring in different animal noises throughout the night apparently! How talented!
Monday 23rd May
Received messages from two very happy walkers today - amazing how they can be out in the middle of no-where, yet still have a phone signal!
They're 1 1/2 days ahead of schedule, the rain has turned to sunshine and all is going well.
Apparently, they've also discovered the secret of keeping going without running out of energy - frequent biscuit stops! Sounds good to me!
Have sent them a forecast for Cauterets for tomorrow, so assume that's the next stop.
