Stage 51: Martigny

I was really nervous about this stage because I had heard the path was blocked due to rockslides. But no worries!! The official path at the Pissevache waterfall was indeed blocked but there was a secondary path right there that joined up a bit later with the official one. No problem at all!

The VF app says this stage is “Medium” but it was by far the easiest and fastest we have had since we restarted at Brienne-le-Château. And very pretty. Lots of walking through forests. Boulders. Downed trees. A little different from past forests but just as pretty.

There are a lot of cats here, which is fun. We also saw four llamas (alpacas?), five lizards, a bazillion bees and their ruches. We felt very sorry for three little horses we came across, with their manes and tails covered with burrs. I have no idea how the owner will remove them, short of shaving them. Poor things.

We have been incredibly lucky with the weather. Today was hot but breezy when we were exposed, and cool and quiet in the forests. Perfect.Leggi altro
