"Very Spanish" commented André as he went back to look for loo roll, soap and hot water. But they do have wifi, so I wasted £3 on data bought outside the Terminus but proved that I can now get it again.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-66073354960056143382015-07-20T15:32:12.629+01:002015-07-20T15:32:12.629+01:00Hello you two.

Great to hear from you and sorry you couldn't join me for part of this walk.<br />I hope you do get some short breaks from your working summer.<br />Mentioning the TGO Challenge in the presence of Humphrey is dangerous. Before you know it he will have cajoled you into entering the event. (You'd enjoy it.)<br />I like the Pyrenees, but 8 weeks every summer would be a bit much even for me!<br />Have fun<br />MartinPhreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-86661817431854285032015-07-20T15:26:43.895+01:002015-07-20T15:26:43.895+01:00Thanks Conrad

I've had a lovely day with your mother, who treated me to lunch and an indulgent slice of banana and pecan cake! We sat in the garden just like last time we visited. She sends her best wishes and was mid-blog when I arrived this morning, so we read this entry together. She is amazed at your ability to find your way.

So isn't covered by your carrier's Europe-wide data plan. All will be well once you return to Spain! The monopoly Andorran phone company makes 80% of its revenue from roaming charges - ie foreigners. The Andorrans are very good at this kind of thing - they have been at it for centuries . . .

Initially, we had planned to join you somewhere around the Monte Perdido, but it could not be possible. This summer will be for us a working summer ; it's a pity but the french loys don't yet allowed us to take 8 weeks of vacation every 2 years... :) ! Nevertheless, we are glad to see that you are doing good progresses under the hard sun. The wild wild country (without wifi) where you are now close to enter in, called Cerdanya in Catalan, is the land of my granmother. We hope that during your trip, you could study the maps and that you have found a 4th path to cross the Pyrenees after HRP, GR10 and now 11, because we still would like to do a part of trip with you in these mountains. Perhaps you are inventing a kind of TGO challenge for the Pyrenees where each year, you cross the chain by a new path... Have some good days.

On enlargement there appears to be a sheep-like animal at right angles to the path about two thirds down, but because of the pixel reduction I can't say more than that.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.com
