Day 19 & 20 Torla

w3w ///polystyrene.swimming.intent

Here in Torla which is the starting point for the famous Ordesa Gorge and where we rejoin the trail tomorrow.

We had a recce this morning and it is spectacular and also a bit daunting as we know we have to climb out of the canyon at the other end – and probably under the full heat of the sun.

Tomorrow night is our only planned camping night – and that is because there is no room at the refuge – so we have a basic tent and mat which we will then ditch as soon as possible.

We do expect we will be out of contact for 3 days or so until we get to the next village.

We thought Torla might be a bit touristy but it’s not – another good find and as an added bonus, we’ve managed to get our washing done 😊

4am in the morning – best time to bring the cattle through town !? (You need the volume on to get the full effect !)

  1. Best of luck for the next few days, looks and sounds amazing. Looking forward to the next update. Has Neil got a hip flask or is his camelback full of Red wine?

    • Next few days look pretty good. We’ve done a brief recce of the Odessa Canyon today and it’s stunning. As for beer or wine, I’m not kidding but when you finish a stage you’re that exhausted that all you want is water food and bed!! Should get some good photos tomorrow
