Fog in the morning that didn’t begin to lift until 9 and then came back as dense wet mist about 11. The two hours with sun was high and pretty, but when the drizzly mist returned, visibility was only 30m. It is strange to walk for hours in mist; I lost all sense of direction and time. In the early afternoon I joined some French hikers to leave the GR10, go to a small village, then walk the road into town. This avoided a steep, wet and probably slippery final descent on the GR10. However, the road from the village is a narrow, steep mountain road and in the mist it was dangerous. (It was one of the mountain stages in the Tour de France and pavement was covered with writing urging favourite teams and riders to victory.) After half an hour walking with cars suddenly appearing out of the mist, I decided to hitchhike. I scored a ride on the first try and a very friendly guy drove me into town, saving an hour plus of walking.
The town is a mountain resort much like Whistler.
Not many photos today.
Hey, I wondered what had happened to you. Have a great trip!
I’ve been learning to fly RC planes. Lots of electronics to learn about there too. Tomorrow biking along the Humber from Old Mill to St. Philips Road and back.
Except for one lingering paper to publish, I’m pretty much disconnected from science.

Wow ,is it over already? Sure went fast for me! You did a great job on the blog Roy, I could imagine being there , but without the sore legs and the rain etc. Enjoyed the pics a lot. Good luck on the next leg of the trip.
Hi Mike,
The walk isn’t over yet. It is 24 days. I finish on Thursday and take an afternoon train to Toulouse.
