Day 8. A week in...


Not quite sure what happened to day 7. My notes say that I went from Salies de Béarn to Lac de Badrieux but, frankly, it's a bit of a blur! I do remember that the Lac de B had a lake with a semi automated waterski drag lift. And that I cadged a cup of tea then had supper with two Brits. Slept badly due to cold (!! sleeping bag) and left early after major trauma when I thought that I'd lost my satnav. 

Covered less ground today due to the sun (had a long stop at lunchtime) but somehow found myself  at a nice placed called Maison de Baronnies where, thank heavens, I've got a proper bed in a dorm, so all the kit can be charged properly and tent etc can be dried out. I reckon I'm good for about 3-4 days camping on the go before I need to civilise up a bit. 

The road is broadly following the foothills of the Pyrenées with occasional forays into the hills, such as at Lourdes today.
