We're on our way out of France, at least temporarily. After 2 short hikes thus morning, we were ready to find our way south. More on that in a moment.
First, though, we continued up the small road that ran past our campground slash farm. It climbed steeply and narrowly, ending once it reached the plateau. Here we walked for about an hour. Views out were fair, given the weather.
Then we descended and climbed up the other side of the valley to a small dam where we had a nice hike around the lake and along a rushing stream. Even had some sunshine.
Time to move on, and to do that, we needed to get into a valley to the east which involved going north to Lourdes, then east, then south again. We camped for the night and will go into Spain tomorrow.
We noticed a sign that we were able to translate about the closure of the tunnel through the mountains. Only during the day and not on the weekends. Tomorrow is Saturday so we should be OK.
Our campground, La Bourie, must have been some kind of manufacturing plant in the past. There are some large warehouse type buildings and a tall brick chimney in the area of the present campground. A bit gone to seed, somewhat derelict with only a few signs of it's former life.
