Randall is content to have found/created a great almost lonely walk. Day 1. We left just outside Terrasson and finished in Montignac. Day 2 brought some showers and we had to resort to wet weather gear. We finished in Rouffignac St Cernin de Reilhac after some considerable hill climbing. However a wonderful welcome and dinner at a manoir enhanced our comfort.
Day 3 is now completed and we are ensconced in our Mas de Bories calme and relaxed refurbished stables not too far from Perigueux where we will head towards on day 4 and then our rest day. The verdict? Oh, that depends on who writes this blog. One would say 'fantastic'. The other would say 'tough and too long between stops'.
Weather so far tending towards overcast. Terrain is not too bad but at about 25 kms, it does get a bit slower for the retirees towards the end of the day. Accommodation is up to par and we have eaten very well indeed as you should when walking. We have had our accommodation upgraded twice as they were astounded by our walking achievements. We have met some great people and enjoyed some lively conversations to stretch our language skills somewhat. So we are a little tired. We sleep like babies and are enjoying the Dordogne.
And only two other true trip walkers seen thus far. Two fiftyish men going the other way. Mostly just us, the forests and paths, a few wild deer here and there, a fox, rabbit and the birds, cuckoo birds that drive us crazy. Great.
