Arblade-Le-Haut to Aire-sur-l'Adour - 22 kilometers

Today, by our calculations, we cracked the 100 miles to go barrier!  350 miles behind us and 100 to go.  However, we only have 8 days to get it done and that means an average of 12.5 miles per day.

Light rain to start the day, at noon the rain gear came off.  Around 80 degrees today.

We set out at 8:00 am after the usual breakfast - bread and jam, yogurt, coffee and tea.

Trail was wet and muddy again

Off with the rain jackets

Sights along the way




More mud

This morning we we were walking with a Canadian couple we met (we have stayed at the same place twice now, including last night).  They were taking a 2 kilometer short cut, hotel owner told them about, so we went along, saved us an hour walking.  The path wasn't marked but we managed.

Checking the maps to make sure we were still on the right track

Coming into stopping point - Aire-sur-l'Adour

At our hotel, boots off, having a beer, and then shower and laundry.

Dinner - entrée and dessert

Entree - steak with roasted vegetables and mash potatoes 

  Desserts
Chocolate mousse with peaches and rhubarb 

Apricot tart with apricot sorbet 

24-25 kilometers tomorrow
