• Day 23/24 - Aumont Aubrac - Finieyrols

    15–16 mei 2024, Frankrijk ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    We are very glad yesterday was a rest day as it bucketed it down with rain all day and we saw some very wet pilgrims. We got our laundry done then headed out for a slap up lunch. After exploring a few grumpy venues we ended up back at our fave restaurant from the day before. We were well looked after by our cheerful waitress. We had to leave our sopping coats in the barn next door. However when we went to retrieve them only Simon’s nuclear yellow anorak remained 😳
    I had to knock on the window as they had locked up. They found a replacement in a drawer which ended up being much better than the one that had disappeared!!😂
    Up early this morning- 1 toilet between 8!!
    Had petit dejeuner, tidied up the little cottage and hoofed it off into a drier day.
    Our path took us up onto the Aubrac plateau. There was a steady stream of pilgrims that the Plodicus picked off group by group with Mary steadily bringing up the rear.
    The plateau had lots of daffodils and looked very much like Derbyshire and Yorkshire moors.
    16km done and we rest in a little hamlet called Finieyroles for the evening. We are 3 hours early for check in so ‘just hanging around’ watching pilgrims drift in and out.
