Sleepy starts, coffee at Logibar with chaffinches fluttering by, climbing up into the gorge, 6 perfect miniature snails, crossing the epic bridge suspended 150m above the ground (swaying above the vide), watching a hardy old Basque man chainsaw a fallen tree, waterfalls galore, climbing out of the gorge into the clouds, getting 2 free croissants from another old Basque man, vultures swooping low, a kestrel spied from above, climbing literal mounds of sheep shit, accidentally getting the hokeycokey stuck in my head, lots of downhills on slippery pointless paths, blackberries galore, huge spiders lurking in the brambles, long road sections (boo), goldfinches and a field to ourselves to camp in at a gîte d'étape :)
