Arrondissement d’Aurillac

Our fellow pilgrim turned up just before dinner - she was Noamy - I think French version of Naomi - probably spelled incorrectly too 🤔
Evening meal that our ageing hippy Jean-Marie provided was tasty but challenging with our lack of French and others lack of English 🥴
Simon escaped as soon as he could 😆
We retired to our gendered bedrooms for a fairly restless night.
Breakfast at 8 as planned then a relaxed start to the day as only an 11 km stroll ahead of us.
We set off in sunshine and hit Livinhac en Haut an hour or so later. We had a couple of hours to kill so did some shopping had a very nice lunch and bumped into the Aussie crowd from 2 weeks ago.
We were debating leaving when the heavens opened so we scuttled back under the shelter and met the chatty Jonathon a pilgrim from South west France but originally from Wiltshire who was travelling our route having started like us in Cluny. However at 35+km a day at a much quicker pace 😳👣👣👣. He collected a picture of us all for his blog.
As the rain subsided we hit the path once more and walked through much mud, fields and country roads to Montredon. An area of outstanding natural beauty.
We are stopping at Frank’s place which is so welcoming. We have a pool that Helen and Andy took advantage of for 2 mins before the rain came hurling down again.
We have all had a lovely evening with good food, music and friendly company.
Off to bed now as 20km beckons tomorrow!! Czytaj więcej
