Day 6: la Bastide to Chasseradès


Leaving la Bastide - the station.


Some interesting trails today - mainly UP for the first half hour, but very beautiful.


Spot the w/r waymarker.


The perfect lunch spot, although the blackberry bushes were strangely empty of fruit.


The walking wounded having a break.


"There's no WHAT!" - the moment we discovered that there was no room at the inn.


Hotel des Sources, Chasseradès.


Our German friends with 2 of their 4 donkeys.


Our French friend from Tours who spent each day travelling on her own, catching up with us here and there.


Chasseradès was a beautiful old village.


The church.


A few drinks while waiting for dinner.

Despite Jan's hip/feet problems, we enjoyed the week a lot, but were glad to be heading back to more familiar forms of transport the following day. 3 weeks later and Jan is still having hip problems, but coming from the school of stoicism, is not complaining about it.

Next time you see them, ask Len and Robyn about their experience of train travel in Nimes ;)

Over to you Eric.
