Days 39 & 40 - the longest day and a lovely surise

from text received this morning

Day 39 Friday 24th June

Was the longest day spent walking so far, but one of the best.

Included over 1700m ascent over 26 km with absolutely gorgeous scenery and sunshine - still in good shape for the final week.

So...750km walked so far and the equivalent of climbing Everest 4 times in "up & down".

All with a full pack, and lots of it in the rain!  Respect!


Day 40 Saturday 25th June

"Just watched the sun rise over Canigou - absolutely beautiful.  That's our next challenge - is very exciting. .

Today we walk to base camp, and the good weather continues"

  1. Hey Sarah, a "very happy birthday" out of Switzerland! Good to hear that you are doing well and also haven't been transformed to agent-rats after being bitten by horse-flies yet! ;-)

    ciao, see you!
