Apart from
meeting Manfred a German 'grim ( who had just cut his distance from
30Km to 22Km per day because of shin splints) the day held little
excitement.
However the Gite
was a magic place created by Jean- Michel. an ex
'grim. Not only did the place feel a welcoming refuge, it was also
designed for the needs of 'grims... and oh my, a great bath, where I
wallowed like a redundant hippopotamus. Jean Michel also sat down
with me, (as I suspect he does with most 'grims) and suggested
accommodation all the way to Spain, as well a cunning little stop a
third the way up the Pyrenees. All his suggestions worked well, and
I suspect good accommodation owners south of him benefits from his good advice,
clearly he gets feedback via e mail and uses this to guide future 'grims.
Also staying at the Gite was Bernard who was also having a few days
off due to excessive walking. (I keep thinking of the Scot I
met 6 years ago who said 30k every day was normal... perhaps it is
for masochists)
