A long trudge with a lot of roads -

Having to walk in fields by the edge of the road


After a basic breakfast, we said goodbye to our hosts and headed out on a relatively boring route. There were a lot of roads, and several churches we found were closed. We came across a rather sad, run down, farmhouse complex, that looked as if in distant times gone by it was a thriving community. The only plus was that we shaved a few kilometers off the official route by taking some shortcuts. It started to get overcast and windy towards the end of the day, and the fields seemed to be largely mono-culture and weedkiller was extensively used. The hostel in Aire sur l'Adour was basic, and we met the couple from Lyon there again. We shared a room with a mother and daughter, and it was rather cold - we were all wearing our jackets at supper time.
