We set off this morning, well lunchtime in glorious sunshine. Luckily the first couple of hours were in the forest. With an extra chunk when we had to buy and send ack track. Because a cheman petered out and became impossible to follow

Syd as usual is raring to go and has enjoyed some lovely paddles. A good first day so far, only minor hassles from  a few bolshy farm dogs. Syd was a star and signaled very clearly that he came in peace. So we  made friends and carried on our way.

We have just collapsed for a rest in the shade after a very very long steep and windy climb, we have reached the highest point and I think it’s all down hill to Sarrazac, where we will rest and eat before heading off towards Lamouaille, and then look forward likely spot for rhe tent.
