Day 18. In Hospital tonight!

Thursday 2nd June - (news via text, late pm)

Difficult day today from all accounts (but not as bad as the header might suggest).

Uninspiring hike today; rain all day, chilly and mostly on roads! Spirits "as miserable as the weather".

BUT, they found a gite that was open in Barege, called The Hospital, and are tucked up there for the night safe, sound and warm.

Tomorrow they face the biggest challenge so far; a 2500m climb - the highest point on the whole route. Hopefully todays rain may have washed away sufficient snow to make this route passable - if not, we shall have two very unhappy hikers.

They've decided to attempt it first thing tomorrow - Fingers crossed!
