Getting lost and found in Moissac
It seemed like everything had run out at once- deodorant, soap, toothpaste.... so a walk to a nearby supermarket was needed. Aideen gave me a map and brief directions. Right left and I would be there.
After my first turn I saw a couple of bewildered looking men- obviously walking the Chemin, but looking lost. So I crossed the road to reassure them they were not far from the GR, and told them which way to turn. They were lost then found. Did my shopping and headed home. Arrrrgh a short walk but I was soon lost, and had to ask for directions. Rom can't believe I walked four weeks on the Chemin only to get lost on a short walk in Moissac.
A few Australians have arrived here tonight. Seems unbelieveable, but have had contact with one via the Santiago Forum. It's a small world!

In Moissac
In Moissac
I am resting up in Moissac with my friends Rom and Aideen in their gite Ultreia. Have helped hang out quite a few sheets and towels this morning!
In four weeks of walking, from Cluny to Conques, I haven't met a single other Kiwi. But who was the first person to walk in the door for tonight? A Kiwi- who even guessed I must be Kiwi Nomad!!

Heading for Moissac 16 May
Heading for Moissac 16 May
The Chemin is like this little thread that weaves its way south-west across France, with people slipping in and out of it along the way. And this morning it was my turn to slip out of the stream for a while. I had a quick breakfast at the monastery, then went to the place for the bus to Rodez, which mainly carried college pupils. Not as raucous as you might imagine.
The bus trip was quite beautiful to start with, through the river gorge, and then past some pretty looking villages. It's easy to think you have a monopoly on beauty when you are walking through it every day, but the rest of the world has a share as well! Once we reached Rodez we had a drive up to the top of the hill then down again before reaching the station. So weird to be climbing with a motor instead of my feet.
And now I am on a bus for Montauban, then a train to Moissac. Later on today I will be back in the pilgrim stream in a different guise, seeing my friends Rom and Aideen in their gite as they welcome pilgrims each day...

Conques 15 May
Conques 15 May
The contrasts with my last walk never cease to amaze me. Last time I made the descent into Conques in 30+ degrees heat and was a sweaty mess when I reached the gite. This time it has started to rain on my arrival, and all those "wintry" layers in my pack that have just been a weight on my back in the last five days of sunshine have suddenly been pressed into service!
Last time I arrived here the monastery was "complet"- full- and I stayed in the gite communale. But the shared meal etc here is supposed to be something very special so I am glad there is room for me today. I am sitting in the courtyard with a few others, sheltering from the rain, waiting for the welcome to start at 1400 hours. I have donned my jacket and polyprops over my shorts for now, so I am not really fit to be seen in tourist land outside this little enclave of pilgrims!
It was a good days walk. I started in Le Soulie, about 17km away, quite early, to help my chances of getting a bed here. It was just 2km downhill to the first village. The shop had opened by the time I reached the second village, and since it was a bit colder I bought some chocolate for the first time for five days. Chocolate always makes the march easier! Just as well, as there was a hefty climb out of Senergues. I remembered it instantly as soon as I saw it.
There was some beautiful countryside to see on the way here and now I am in the gem of a village that is Conques- one of France's very special treasures.
After donning some warmer clothes I visited the Tourist Office to get some info about whether I could get to Moissac from Conques in a day....I can...
Hospitaleros in the Monastery are just lovely. Quite a few people here that I have seen along the way, as well as many I haven't. Many limping a bit. One poor man in my dorm has realized he has been walking too far too fast and he plans to slow down. In Beth's famous words about the sevens..."it's a marathon, not a sprint."
Spent the afternoon wandering, looking at all the medieval buildings and marveling at the Abbey. Conques is one of the most magnificent places in France.

Nearly at Conques
Well, I am nearly in Conques- just 17km away! I hope I get a chance to stay in the monastery this time, but what will be will be...
The weather has been warm the last couple of days, but not too hot. When I crossed Aubrac the weather was just superb both days- views were just amazing. Quite hot though. I could hardly believe it after last time!
Have met lots of really nice people. Last night there were two Hungarian men who are living in Holland- and they have walked from Holland. They had some stories to tell and we laughed and laughed.
Catch you another time!

I have arrived in Conques.... and there is a bed for me in the monastery. Many people I have met walking are there too. I am looking forward to sharing a meal with them this evening.

Today there was a choice of routes out of Estaing. The first along the GR65 that I took last time, started off flat but then climbed, and spent quite a bit of time on roads, but had such a superb view at Golinhac. The second, the GR6, started with a steep climb out of Estaing but promised more gentle slopes thereafter, and was 3km shorter, with a lot more time in forests.
I decided to try the GR6, and actually loved the morning climb. It gave a superb view back over Estaing and the River Lot. It passed through some beautiful countryside with superb views across valleys. I fell in love with the Aveyron region last time and am still deeply in love with it!
And Michele, I saw a field full of sheep and fairly young lambs. A lot later up here. But spring is in full flow here now, very green and even some harvesting going on.
Tomorrow I have 17km to reach Conques. I hope I get to stay in the monastery tomorrow night as it is apparently a very special experience. Last time it was 'full'. Time will tell.

Estaing 13 May
Took the 'flat' option along the road near the River Lot this morning. Nice and easy for a change!
Highlight of today was seeing the Romanesque church at Perse- such a little jewel, with harmony written in all it's arches.
Then at Bessuejouls I loved the 'upstairs' chapel all over again. I also bought a sandwich from the little bar here, made to order with what I wanted in it, and the woman wrapped it up for me to take with me. Such kind and gentle service.
The climb uphill was just as hard as I remembered - harder really as I thought the tough bit was quite short but it went on a bit! Once on top I managed to pay attention for the turn downhill that I missed last time. There are extra markings at that point now to make it more obvious, so I was probably not alone in missing that turn!
I managed to lose my hat- again-! probably at the point where I took a photo of my shoes in the mud. But again good fortune or St Jacques shone on me... and a German pilgrim brought it along with him- and I grabbed it from him delightedly in the middle of eating my delicious sandwich!
Having problems with my plantar fasciitis on my left foot- the heat seemed to do it in and it's hard to stretch enough to relieve it. But I am probably only going to walk another 4-5 days now anyhow before I head off on a train to see Rom and Aideen in Moissac. In two days time I will hopefully be in Conques... There are two Hungarian men here though who have walked through from Holland. One of them has the same thing but it isn't stopping him. He expects to reach Conques tomorrow and for them it marks the halfway point. I feel like a wimp!

St Come d'Olt
St Come d'Olt
Another hot day! Pharmacy sign here says 29 degrees this afternoon, but I don't think it's quite so hot. It's the coolest of the past three days as it has clouded over. No sign of the storm yet though to cool it all down!
Aubrac was so magnificent for two days that you would think I would have to be disappointed today. But no, I think the Aveyron region I am in now is very pleasant and quite beautiful. Lower altitude so spring is more advanced. Very green and wildflowers everywhere. Lots of hill views, though I am pleased to say tomorrow should be the easiest day yet- some of it along the river Lot= flat!
It was on tomorrow's section of the track that I missed a sign last time while I was busy admiring the magnificence of the wildflowers. You can be sure I will not do that tomorrow!
Today was mostly about descent. Some of it was a bit tricky and stony, but some of it was along easy forest and farm paths, and the spring green on the leaves was just wonderful.
It's funny finding out how my memories of the Chemin compare with the reality. It was so cold and grey at the beginning last time that I seem to remember a lot about the weather and not so much about parts of the terrain. Today when I thought it was all mainly about descent, the Chemin threw in an unexpectedly tough ascent for a wee while, climbing up out of a river valley. But I gratefully arrived at a farmhouse at Grezes where I ate lunch ravenously. From there it was only 3km downhill to reach town and the gite.
I was feeling a trifle guilty only walking 16km when quite a few were walking the extra 6km to Espalion. But have since discovered lots of others have stopped here. And to be honest, in the heat my body was telling me to take it easy! The gite person was telling me it was 32/33 here yesterday, but it is supposed to drop to 22 tomorrow. Yeah!
St Come d'Olt is a beautiful looking town, and looks all the better in the sunshine. The gite is in one of the historic buildings. An interesting contrast really, sitting on my bed in such an old building, typing this up on an iPod. And then the clock chimes in the historic church with the crooked spire....
Ok time to head off for dinner. I am being seated with French walkers apparently since I can talk to them, (rather than with the German men downstairs who only speak German.) See you later!

Aubrac Day 2
Aubrac Day 2
Another hot day! Last time I walked Aubrac the weather was so bad that the gite owner suggested taking the road and avoiding the Chemin on the 2nd day. Then the fog closed in...
Today couldn't have been more different, and it's after 6pm and still very warm.
I had no idea what magnificent scenery I had missed last time. I had the first wee while this morning striding out by myself, feeling like I had the top of the world specially made just for me. Breathtaking. Oh what a beautiful morning!
Then I took a drinks break and the rest of the walking world arrived. It's been nice actually- people to chat with along the way, encouraging each other on in this unexpected heat.
I arrived at Aubrac way too early for a meal, but enjoyed their soup. I wouldn't have stayed so long chatting if I had known how hot the afternoon was going to be. I also didn't know how unshaded the whole first part of the descent would be as last time I was in thick fog until quite far down .
Last time I was already in Aubrac before I could see any of it, and had this very medieval moment as these two round towers seemed to loom out of the mist. Today I discovered that those towers were actually quite square, not round at all!
So, I have seen Aubrac properly now- in it's bad weather and in its superb weather.
Today at Aubrac I went to pay for my lemonade to find it had already been paid for. One of the women at the table then told me her son had spent 6 months backpacking in New Zealand, and had told her how kind everyone was to him.... So she was repaying that kindness a little by buying my drink.
Oh Aubrac- I feel so lucky now to have seen you in all your splendour. But I'd be quite happy to have the temperature dial turned down a little, so I don't have to start getting up too early!

Aubrac Plateau Day 1
Aubrac Plateau Day 1
Well, two days couldn't have been more like chalk and cheese.
Four years ago when I crossed the Aubrac Plateau I just walked 20km the first day, and arrived at my lodgings bitterly cold and wet. (It was about three weeks earlier in the season.)
But today I had to make sure I drank enough on what ended up being a very warm 26km day. It was simply amazing striding across the plateau, feeling like I was on the top of the world at times. Many of of the fields were full of wild daffodils and it was just such a special place to be.
At one of the highest points just after midday, I sat down on a rock and rang my Irish friends in Moissac to tell them I was high on Aubrac in a t-shirt. And that I had nearly run out of water. I knew they'd understand about the unlikelihood of that!
Fortunately there was a little cafe soon in view about 2km away downhill. And an even more unlikely thing happened: they had wifi there so I could send my backlog of iPod messages.
It was hard work in the heat for everyone, and people have been solicitous about each other's welfare this evening. A lovely French lady here in the Nasbinals gite has just offered to massage my feet- an offer I simply can't refuse!
PS I can confirm it was a superb foot massage, a wonderful treat for my feet that had to work so hard today.
PPS 2: Only sad thing today- had to ditch my chocolate which had melted in its wrapper, before it went all over everything in my pack!

Aumont-Aubrac
I have arrived in Aumont-Aubrac today and will be crossing the first part of the Aubrac Plateau tomorrow. Last time the weather was awful! But it has been quite warm and sunny today so am hoping that continues for the next two days, so I can enjoy all the wildflowers.
Am enjoying being back on the Le Puy route and have met some really nice ladies along the way, two of whom are walking for a week, and who have much the same pace as me. This is the fourth night we have independently booked the same gite- which is kind of how the Lyne & Denis scenario went in 2008!
Have been lucky to have stayed in some lovely gites; tonight I am back in Ferme du Barry where he seems to have remembered me from last time! Either that, or he is being polite because he has heard the story of last night's laundry and how the farmer had to take the washing machine apart. But that's a story for another day when I am home and have more time on the internet!
Am pleased with how my walking pace is going... and life is much simpler here where well-placed gites seem to offer meals and snacks along the way. Be back when I can.....

La Clauze
La Clauze
Last time I walked I started out aiming for the bigger towns to stay in- but somewhere in Spain we discovered the delights of smaller places, away from the 'main' stopping places.
Tonight I am in just such a smaller place, in La Clauze. Its pretty much a farming village, but it's got two small gites in it and I'm in one of them- along with the two French women who made me laugh so much yesterday.
I remember passing through here on a day with much colder, grimmer weather, and the tower here looked so foreboding. But today it looks more 'friendly', standing to remind everyone of the past history of this place....
The smells of my Demi-pension dinner are making me so hungry. I am eating so very well here in France, but my clothes all tell the story of weight loss. It's hard to eat enough to keep up with energy expended!

Pilgrim Hours
It has barely gone 9pm and I am falling asleep. And I just ate a big French dinner but I'll still sleep well. Ahhh pilgrim hours.
And the two Frenchwomen in the same bedroom as me are now giggling like schoolgirls in the dorm. Laughter on the Chemin has a special quality of its own...
