Lescun

This morning I was rudely awoken by donkeys sniffing around and munching outside my tent. Apparently I had camped in prime grazing territory and all types of farm animals paid me a visit during the night.

My campsite

Today was a rest day, with only a 2 hr descent to Lescun. However before I could actually rest I had to navigate the rain on the way down.

These wet conditions on the descent descent gave me flashbacks to day 1.

Approaching the village

As I got closer to town, my day got considerably better. Lescun was the perfect location to take a day off. There was even space in the gîte so I could wash my clothes and sleep in a bed.

Crottin de brebis (cheese)

I spent the day hanging out with Thomas, Claudia, and Leo. I also got rid of some of unnecessary weight, refilled on food, and had two delicious sit-down meals. Tomorrow I begin the most spectacular section of the HRP!

Cabane d'Ardinet to Lescun - 9.01km and 82m gained.
