Day 5 Tramayes to Ouroux

Today’s walking started in drizzle! So coats on and backpacks covered. Simon has renamed himself ‘the plodicus’ and he set a good pace. Once again plenty of ascents and some steep descents into the equation! Through muddy trails, the occasional stream that hijacked the path, chilly forests where the gobbledygooks live and some occasional wafts of sunshine. Mary nearly had a hanger meltdown as the village planned for lunch was all closed apart from the loo!! And of course it rained the hardest at this point 😢. Simon remained cool, calm and collected for a change 😂
So we plodded on the last 4km to Ouroux and shocked our landlady with an early arrival. However room was ready and we could chill and have a weird lunch from odds and ends we found in our bags. Looking forward to 7.00 dinner - Simon dreaming of roast chicken with a robust glass or 2 of red wine 🤞🙏
The life of a pilgrim hey!! Just under 17 km accomplished today. Next instalment of ‘the plodicus progress’ tomorrow xxRead more
