Storms…. !

Common in the Pyrenees but not this summer and this is the first rain here since May. Whilst the parched grass certainly needs it, not helpful for us and our planned high level hike across to the ski resort at Candanchu..

Here in the refuge, most people are just waiting – hail / rain / thunder / lightning and low cloud, forecast until 1-2pm. Our route today included 2 climbs and 10km above 2000m so we have decided to skip around by taxi – as we won’t otherwise have time to complete the stage. All within the only rules we have set ourselves- to stay safe and enjoy every day 😉
