Le Puy en Velay to Montbonnet.

Steps: 41254

It hurts! Everything frikken hurts!

But at least I survived the first days walk on a dodgy ankle with a miserable hangover.

The sun beamed down on us as we departed Le Puy, saturating us with joy and our backs in sweat.

We ambled though well formed tracks then through fields of mud until we arrived at a crossroads.

A man stood in the way gesticulating wildly and getting angry. The path ahead was a river of mud and he told us we should not go that way.

We made a diversion, hoping like hell it was the correct path as we did not want to walk any further than we had to. Finally, around 4pm we arrived at our gite in montbonnet.

For dinner we had lentils and sausage which was pretty average. Might look at cooking for ourselves next time.

16 kms down, 784km to go. Or until we get sick of it.
