Susan and I are in Cauterets, in the Pyrenees. It's a 19th Century spa
town with older roots, as it is on one of the old roads into Spain.
Yesterday we went for a walk down a hill, We caught the cable car and ski-lift up to Cirque du Lys (2300 metres) and walked back down to Cauterets (970 metres) in 30C plus heat. It was tiring but interesting; a walk of 12km, downhill on a combination of sheep paths and shale scree roads. Being so high, there was no shade, so we were pretty rung out by the end of it.
You can follow the path back to where we started, centre right on the horizon
We lunched at lac d'Ilheou
I can only imagine how disheartening the walk up must be
the Cascade du Ilheou

Yes Happy Birthday Simon...
Happy birthday from us too, Simon. I hope you have a happy, healthy year ahead.
That's a great way to celebrate your 60th! Happy Birthday from us too!
Fabulous - Happy Birthday
Thanks everyone. We spent my actual birthday sitting around, then hobbling around. Both of us are experiencing pain in muscles we didn't even know we owned.
It was worth it, though.
