First day of walking. Just a short day, but the steepest on the entire Camino Francés. Gorgeous scenery in the Pyrenees on the way to Refuge Orisson.

It was a misty and cold day. Unfortunately, visibility was poor, so I couldn't see the beautiful Pyrenees. But it was a fairly easy walk.

Walked 27 km today with a very steep downhill section, which my right knee decided it didn't like. 😕
A lot of the walk was through beautiful forest paths.
I'll do a short day into PamplonaLæs mere

I'm happy to report that my knee didn't give me much trouble today. Of course there were no brutal downhill sections to walk, so that helped. And the fact that it was only about a ten mile walk today.
