From text message received this morning
Day 27 - Saturday 11th June Eylie to Bonac
Uneventful day in uninspiring scenery; Sarah not feeling too sparkly today, so stayed fairly low, headed for Bonac. Much of the route through quite a poor and shabby area; lots of abandoned mining buildings and houses in poor repair; many up for sale - a pretty depressing area not recommended for a French break by S & R.
Day 28 - Sunday 12th June Bonac to Esbints
Sarah much improved today, which is just as well as they spent a large part of the morning fighting their way through undergrowth in a tangly wood after finding yet another disappearing bit of GR10 path. Both now covered in scratches, grazes, bites and stings. Ouch! Fought their way out after 2 hours, then spent time circumnavigating the wood, some of it via an aquaduct.
Still, sunshine all day, which must have been a very welcome change after all that rain.
Night spent rough-camping. This turned out to be pretty exciting as they were in the middle of nowhere, but were woken to loud vehicle noises around midnight. Turned out to be sheep rustlers. Those Frenchies eh!
One whole month down, 18 days still to go!
