Eeeek, set off late in the day as we were only walking 8km to Orisson, which was part of the way up the Pyrenees. Holy mac that was the hardest 8km we have done so far, it was all completely straight up! Intense and the most amazing views. The weather was perfect, if a little too hot. We saw lots of vultures flying above us waiting for us to cark it but we made it. That night we stayed in a fantastic place on the side of the mountain. he greenest phot is the view out our window. AMAZING. Had a delicious meal with all the other pilgrims. In the evening Beth went looking for the 20 brown bears that supposedly live in the Pryenees. Found nada. The next day we left early in the mist and could hardly see a thing. After about an hour of upness we broke through the fog to see the tops of the mountains peeking through a sea of mist. It was magical. Even though it was all upwards it was the best walk in our lives. eing so high was immensely energising and momentous.
