St Jean Pied De Port, Thursday Day 5

Just arrived after a good walk over from St Etienne de Baigorry.
Quick update from office de tourisme as they only allow 10 mins at a time.
Weather has been horrendous. Hadly seen the sun. Worn thermals for past 2 days. Despite this, times are now quicker than schedule. Did today in 5hrs against book schedule of 6:20 probably because it was too cold to stop on the tops in 90mph wind.

Just been shopping for a few essentials and decided to throw my trustworthy Merrell walking sandls which have started to come apart. Onlyt had teh, for 14 years and only a few thousand miles. Should I ask for a refund? Anyway replaced with a new much cheaper model whuich would not last very long on decent walk but will be fine for inside the gite d'etapes and hotels which is where I'm off now. Tomorrow is an easy short day in readiness for the longest one yet on Saturday. If anyone wants to contact me, easiest way is to text on 07787 948671

Looks like weather is still poor for a few more days. In a hotel tonight so will catch the meteo. Hear it's crackin t'flags back home.

  1. Bad luck with the walking sandals. I hope you have plenty of Compeed for the new ones!

  2. Sandals are just for the refuges
