• Day 15 - Montverden to Montbrison

    May 6–7, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    We slept well in our spooky Priory. We were let out at 8 as planned 🙌
    We had dried everything out. However today it rained a lot. We marched down the hill to the Boulangerie that provided us with breakfast then set off on the path to Montbrison.
    We coped well with the muddy wood path but then we hit the bog path and feet got saturated again 😭.
    We trudged through the rain as the moody cows looked on. The path takes you on crazy tours of villages and we are sure just for the sake of it!!
    We couldn’t sit to rest and have lunch as nothing open on a Monday so had our saved croissants on the hop.
    We have been togged up in our Batman capes all day trudging along like medieval monks. Simon refused to wear his as we came into Montbrison - he still has his standards.
    We had to wait for 3 hours for Airbnb to send us the key code for our apartment in a cafe as Simon makes us walk so fast 😂
    We are staying in an apartment above the local theatre. We have shopped, laundered, cooked dinner and now having a bottle of red to chill before retiring to our anti bug bed pods as this place doesn’t provide linens!
    Tomorrow we move to second stage of our walk in Le Puy de Velay.
    Very few pics of the day due to weather!!
    210km completed 👣👣👏
