Just landed in Bagneres de Luchon after an overnight stay in the remotest of all refuges - the Refuge d'Espingo. The last part of getting ther via Lac D'Oo was in two parts - the first was like Malham to Malham Cove on a Sunday afternoon the second less busy - nevertheless a near 3000ft climb in the heat in two and half hours with 15 kilos on my back.
This morning set off at 7.20 with sunshine and clouds below. By 9.30 I was in the clouds and a bit cooler then they cleared when I got to Superbagneres which is 1150m above Bagneres de Luchon and arrived for 2pm. Well satisfied. Again more scenic photos to post up when I get back.
Tomorrow begins the hard bit - the Ariege where ther are not much facilities and may need to make use of my tent. Off to go shopping for supplies.

We keep hearing about how the rain is affecting the tour de france. Hope you are managing to keep out of the worst of it. Best wishes from the three of us.

Thanks A J & R. Got caught in a wild thunderstorm on Saturday. Now back to hot with some nice clouds for cooling.
