Bergerie sur le plateau de la Cham de l'Hermet

I wait as Marco and Sylvia catch up with me

Bonjour!

 

 

 

 

 

Some people opt out of the long hike to Florac, and instead go directly to Cassagnas
from Pont de Montvert. Two German ladies I met at Chateau de Cauvel
did just this, and took a rest day at Cauvel.

 

 

 

 

No chance of a cup of coffee here, then!

Col du Sapet 1,080 m

A nice piece of dark chocolate from Pau! Thank you Marco

 

At Col du Sapet you have a choice of two routes, the longer route going via Bedoues but the shorter involving a bit more climbing but saving 6 km It had been a hard day climbing in the wind and rain, so we opted for the shorter route to Florac.

 

 

Time for lunch and a rest in the sun

 

 

Looking down on Bedoues, the alternative route
