Who cares about sore feet when your eyes are feasting!
Gardon River
Our final evening - Hotel L'Orange
So pretty, a great place to finish our walk
Helmut farewells our host - and everyone's own adventures continue
Cassagnas - St Germain de Calberte
Florac - Cassagnas
Pont de Montvert - Florac
Le Blaymard - Pont de Montvert
Entering the alpine region of The Cevennes
Our path is guided by upright granite montjoies obelisks of unknown age
Mont Lozere - summit of Filials - 1 699 m - we made it!
Breathtaking views
Pont de Montvert
Can't help taking photos of yet another lamp post ....
... and stone bridges
Howard tells us about his day ...
... and Helmut entertains us with his party trick. At this restaurant one man served 35 people all on his own; wine, food and cleaning up. It was a LONG night.

Chasserades - Le Blaymard
Photos of week 2 of the walk - taken by Eric and Dianne.
Leaving Chasserades. Note train tunnel ahead for protection from snow.
Picturesque village of Mirandol
Rover guards his home growling at me as I take his photo
Diane and William enjoy the scenery
Le Blaymard - a welcome sight after a long day's walk
Rex isn't far behind
Time for a well earned drink
Another cute village
and another delicious meal

Leaving Chasseradès for Robyn, Len, Jan and I :(
Our home for the night(s) near Chasseradès, though it nearly wasn't for Robyn, Len, Neil and Jan due to un erreur in the booking. Thanks to the others for sharing.
Our jolly and easygoing host.
Here come the friendly Germans with their donkeys.
Chasseradès main station!
Au revoir to the departing four. Len nearly departed for good when trying to reach the connecting train in Nimes! That's another story!
