Bach.....323 km from my start point at le Puy en Velay

 

 

Being a holiday on 1st May, there were lots of French people out on local walks

 

 

Sheltering from the rain in a small barn

 

The last bit to La Pech was uphill .... not welcome when you are tired!

Having previously had a bed-bug problem, Alex now asks pilgrims to leave their rucksack and boots in a horsebox outside. Not an ideal solution, especially when your boots are soaking wet.

 

My bed for the night. When I unpacked my sleeping bag it was dripping wet!

 

As soon as owner Alex lit the wood burning stove I spotted an opportunity.... to get my
boots dry! Soon there were 8 pairs of boots around the stove!

And my sleeping bag!
