Day 4: Ainhoa to Bidarray and beyond.



Setting off up quiet country roads, Basque bunting decorating the town all pointy and green and red, crucifix-lined path into the clouds, a ferny aroma filling the air, a sleeping snake, basque cows, horses and sheep lined up along the path, an awesome brebis sandwich whilst being serenaded by a cockerel and collie pups saying hi, blazing sunshine, scrambling down a bit, seeing the Iparla ridge from behind, a long butterfly filled road, a visit to our beloved Bidarray for supplies and then up and up and up into the hills to camp, accompanied by a glorious sunset. In a word: EPIC!
