Bit of a milestone today. We reached 1000 km at Modane. Thought there was a sign but nothing.
We have also decided to change our next route. Hexatrek takes the very scenic and high route through the Southern Alps.
We have decided to take the shorter GR5 route to Nice and then rejoin the Hexatrek for the Pyrenees. Allen has gone on with the original route.
We have mixed emotions on this but are keen to give our knees a few easier days now and then and also give us a bit more time to explore and hopefully catch Harry.
The current plan is to meet Allen and Alex in Toulouse for the opening game of the World Cup in a French bar.
We have now been walking for 7 weeks today with 5 rest days, including one forced on us by bad weather.
Allen only had 3, which is an amazing achievement.
Hopefully, Allen can send through some updates so we can see his progress.
Should be in Nice in about 15-20 days.Read more

Day 11
Aussois. Vandring
September 4, 2021 in France ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
Vi fik ikke vandret så meget ved Aussois sidste år, så i dag kørte vi op til de to store inddæmmede søer: Plan d’Aval og Plan d’Amont lige oven for Aussois. Herfra kan man gå op mod passet Col d’Aussois og videre op på et udsigtspunkt, men vejrudsigten var ikke helt fri for skyer og måske tordenbyger, så vi vidste ikke hvor langt vi ville nå. Det blev dog meget bedre end vi havde håbet på, så vi kom helt op på Pointe d’Observatoire på 3.015 m, og fik flot udsigt til dalene og ryggene omkring, bare ikke til den store top La Dent Parrachee, som er et vartegn for området, og som lå dækket i skyer. Og så nåede vi akkurat ned til bilen med kun få dråber regn. Flot dag!

De næste dage skulle dog være fine også, så vi er nu kørt over på den anden side af Modane, hvor vi sidste år gik en flot tur i området ved toppen Mont Thabor, uden at være oppe på selve toppen. Det vil vi gerne i år, så vi har nu bestilt en overnatning på et refugie i morgen, som ligger tættere på toppen.Read more
