Aumont-Aubrac to Nasbinals

Today’s walk seems to have more road walking than tracks. This may not have been true but it certainly felt like it with the tap, tap, tap of our walking poles on the tarmac. Thank goodness we purchased the silencers from Decathlon as well, otherwise the sound of the metal tips would have been unbareable.

Walking along past the fields of buttercups and broom, dandelion and nettles on the wayside. I wodered what the other plants were. Ragwort, cowslips or any nimber of plants my father taught me, but I have now forgotten.

The area we are walking through reminds me of Dartmoor. With the undulating ground and outcrops of rocks, the sparse vegetation and boggy patches. We could be walking through England except everyone is speaking French.
