Forêt de Guînes

I had dinner last night with the two Australians from Noosa (Helen and John), Eileen (the Canadian) and her partner; Pat (a Brit), and two Americans; Kim and Alison. They are all walking the Via Francigena. The only accommodation I could get last night was a cabin. It was great, so I'm doing the same tonight. As it had rained all night last night, and I was walking through the forest again today, I thought I was in for more mud. Luckily, I was mistaken! There was some, but none of it was a problem. I only encountered two other walkers today, going in the opposite direction. I saw the very fast train; close up, I was right next to the railway line. AND, I saw a deer. I'm pretty exhausted and am looking forward to my rest day tomorrow.Read more
