<\/p>\nM<\/b>ontbonnet to monistrol d’allier<\/b><\/p>\n
Distance walked: 15 kms<\/b><\/p>\n
Steps: 34163<\/p>\n
The day started off well despite having no sleep the previous evening. My ankle felt good and I managed to keep up with the others.<\/p>\n
We wandered through fields of poppies, stopping every 5 mins trying to capture the perfect photo on our phones. They turned out crap.<\/p>\n
Then we entered the forest of doom where we were viciously attacked. Swarms of mozzies came at us from all directions, biting, weaving, and sucking on our blood.<\/p>\n
Thankfully Susan had some repellent and we came out of it reasonably unscathed.<\/p>\n
In the afternoon it all went downhill, literally. Steep, rocky, and upsetting to my ankle. It was a stunning days walk though, and the best part was having a beer at the end.<\/p>\n
My sisters are planning to walk 24 kms tomorrow, but Mike and I have decided on a shorter day.<\/p>\n
We stayed and gite where we enjoyed an amazing dinner with the other walkers and the hosts.<\/p>\n
