Day 6 Aumont Aubrac-Nasbinals 26th August

Day 5

26.3 klms

Joined by Raphaelle who arrived late last from Paris, bringing the rain with her.

The back is really bad and I decide to leave my pack behind and have it transported by a taxi service for baggage- a very good idea! I will keep a slow pace behind the others and have the aid of a walking staff.

The march to Nasbinal is beautiful with pastures of endless desolation, speckled with ancient rocks. I am remined of parts of Ireland and also scenes from `Lord of The Rings`. We are buffetted by wind and rain, but the spirit within the group remains strong.

Apart from Rene, we also have Frederick, a Gendarme from Marseilles. Corinne, from Le Puy. Hartmut, a recent retiree from Germany. Ermghart, also from Germany. Latiticia and her mother Mireille from Leon; Bert, a young man from Belgium; Caroline a dancer from Haute Savoie.
