walk cont.
We are now in Livinhac, a very small town 24km from Conques. Conques was beautiful, Beths fave town so far. We ate with about 70 other pilgrams that night. When we do stay in accommodation there is always a three course dinner on offer, often there are more than 3 courses!!! hell yeah for French cuisine!
walk cont.
The first couple of days were killer hard and we were carrying about 20kilos each which is way too much given the countryside; immensely hilly. After about a week we culled a lot of our things and have got it down to around 16kilos each. Have made lots of pilgram friends along the way. The snow photos are of a place called Le Sauvage. We arrived at this farm house sort of thing and the next town was another &ékm away, luckily we got a bed because when we woke up in the morning it was all white!!! Had to move on as we didnt have enough food but it was fun to walk through the snow. Snowballs were thrown.
The big hike
Well we have been walking for over é weeks now and are having the best time. We average between
15 and 20km a day but have lately been doing more because towns are few and far between, and often very small with nothing open. We have done quite a few cheeky camps when we get tired or we find a rad place to spend the night, usually in a forrest.
