Winding up through the valley to Lac d'Oregon
Very random: a field of blue sheep
Saturday night supper at one of our more civilised camps
Morning climb amongst heather, wild flowers and marmots
Cabane Ourtiga, a remote mountain hut surrounded by lofty peaks and frozen waterfalls
Pretty basic... but welcome shelter in stormy weather
And also home to small rodents who tucked in to our cheese rations while we slept!
Crossing a raging torrent (with boots that are a bit 'leaky')...
A four kilometer gully descent into...
LUCHON!!!!
Halfway point on the trek: we're celebrating 450km with a rest day and lots of chocolate. Tomorrow we enter the Ariage, a forested land of lonely valleys, brown bears, big peaks and little in the way of humans or habitation. We'll be camping and out of contact for the next 14 days... aiming to reach Merens les Vals around the 21st June. Until then, bon courage et adieu!
