More Aires Hunting - Day 7

The plan was to follow one of the local circular walks up into the mountains.

Whilst having our traditional morning coffee there was a determined knock at the van door. A Frenchman enquired as to whether we would be staying 'this night'? He advised us not to be worried by gunfire because 'tonight we kill some bad animals!'

We're intrigued to say the least!

We set of on the planned 5.4km walk which took us all of two and a half hours due to the slowness caused by the gradients but it was well worth it following waterfall after waterfall.

The viewpoint towards the highest point gave us an idea of just how far we'd climbed as we could look right down to our van in the Aire below.

By the time we got back to the van the lakeside bar had opened up so it seemed rude not to sit with a couple of cold pints for a while never mind the cost 

Having had at least a day's exercise the rest of the afternoon was spent reading maps and books in preparation for more of our journey.
