The day dawns bright and sunny with a typical crispness that belies the coming heat ! It’s breakfast and I am the only cock crowing in the hen house – 3 Canadian women I guess in their late 60s are about to set out on much the same tour whilst about 6 Austrian woman who

I arrived from Toulouse by fast SNFC train at 9:30 and met up with Simon who set up the road bike ( new!) Then Cliff who went through the cycle itinerary- which looks fabulous and I think relatively easy over the week. Gourdon is a delightful bustling town perched on a hill with castle and

Our last day of the trip and we leisurely meandered down the Snake River, floating on large inflatable rubber dinghies. A just reward after our previous days of hiking. It was a great group of like minded active adventurers ably led by Eilee, Mikey and Molly. Alas it seems I was the only one NOT
