So it’s been a strange few days and a feeling of treading water. The GR11 out of Benasque is another ‘tough and demanding’, stage to a Refugio with no options and the first of 5 long mountain days into Espot. We have learnt to interpret this as a day we need to avoid if we are to keep our overall hopes of actually finishing (and enjoying it !) – so we will stay another night here and re-join the trail with a more manageable 3 days to Espot 🤞

We will then be up in the mountains again so expect to be out of contact until then.

Overall, it’s probably been for the best as we were still sore from before – the recovery of 55 year old knees is not as quick as it used to be – and mine sound like Rice Krispies when I first start moving !

We have (of course), managed the museum, and had a personal tour of an art exhibition as well – it’s a good place to be but think we’re ready now to move on.
