Text info received Monday 6th, re.....
Sunday 5th June
We are "wild camped" 500m below the col (top of pointy bit) we will climb first thing tomorrow. We have pushed on to complete 1.5 days today; and if we push ourselves tomorrow, we're hoping to reach Luchon a day early and give ourselves a day of chores and admin (and rest presumably) before entering the Ariage on Wednesday.
Last night, we had the luxury of a supermarket, and today we stopped off for a proper Sunday lunch before pushing on to where we're camped. We're very isolated tonight - I doubt there's anyone within 4 miles of us.
We saw a fox earlier, who was totally unaware of us until he got quite close. Boy did he run when he finally saw us!
Weather is still a bit mixed with mainly dry mornings but showers into the afternoons and evenings. Wednesday is likely to be the day we reach half way - woo hoo!!!
The second half is marginally easier - allegedly!
(Sue now).....lets hope they manage another catch-up day on Tuesday so they can take a rest day. Think they deserve it! And if there's an internet cafe up there, we may get some pictures too, and news direct from the horses mouth. Fingers crossed

According to rumours, the second part is heavily affected by flies
