Across the Pyrenees on red wine and ibuprofen

2600m. Highest so far. It might be blue sky but the wind was cool and you could tell you were at altitude
This way. These are the way finder marks we have to look for which are on rocks, trees and posts. Across the boulder fields you need to rely on mini cairns (one on top of this rock although not necessary) as the markers aren’t always visible

Set off from the Refugio Colomers this morning which was packed as it was a Spanish holiday weekend. There are some strange smells in these Refugio’s as some of the guests aren’t as capable when it comes to using soap. Fortunately we were ok in our bunk room of 14. We had an easy 600m climb this morning with some spectacular views and we reached 2600m for the first time. The descent was pretty good for a change and we walked through a really popular area on the way to Espot with a stunning waterfall. Couple of beers and a bite to eat before checking in to our casa/hotel with our own bathroom and proper towels. Luxury 😁😁
