So we have had a great couple of days with Mike, Isobel, Anuik and Tess – off route from the GR11 at their small holding in Ortafa, just over the French border. (We can thoroughly recommend their Gites if anyone is interested!)

Really good to do something a bit different from walking !

We celebrated Neil’s birthday in style as well – pizzas and apple pie. (Just for the record and not complaining obviously 🙄 but my birthday a few days earlier was spent in rain, thunder and lightning….)

We’re now at the Bassagoda park camping grounds and we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow. Annoyingly, the route still seems to be finding lots of ups and downs – we have another 1200m ascent tomorrow, although at least not in one go.

But we are getting close now – the girls are travelling out on Wednesday and all being well, we will finish on Friday so at least we can now see the end in sight, even if we can’t yet see the Mediterranean…
