Not alot of information this week had difficulty getting a signal. They are still managing to stay on track. Have been camping out all week but last night slept in a shepherd's hut near Port de Boet (2509m) on the French-Spanish border. Quite cosy but Stewart said the rats kept him awake. Had an early start today left at 7am walked through the Vallee de Soulcem and climbed the Port de Rat (2540m), which gives access to Andorra. The weather not good and visibility poor. Went to La Coma restaurant for lunch It was full of clean tourists. Had a hearty lunch of steak and chips and also bought some ham baguettes, pringle and chocolate for the bag. Stewart said nice to have fresh bread as one loaf they have been eating has lasted 7 days! The weather turned really nasty after lunch, rain and hail.
Have decided to stop at El Serrat tonight as soaking wet and book in a hotel for a freshen up and clean their clothes. This will also give them chance to plan the next week.

Hey There,
I spoke to Dad earlier on today, he was in a French Hotel. So had a chance to have a really good catchup and get to know how things have gone. If i'm honest he didn't sound himself and i know its because he is missing his wife, kids, mum and family + friends so much. He is a real family man and i guess talking to us must be quite hard. He is ready to finish this now as i can imagine as 30 days is a long time, but he wont give up until he gets his feet in the Med! He never has been a quiter. And if he gets a chance to read this just want him to know we all love him and are extremely proud of him and we can't wait to see him!
hi bruv, glad to see you still smiling...steak & chips sounds good.we are so proud of you.counting the days for your safe return so we can celebrate with a drink,love to you both x
Have posted before with some tips (hopefully helpful!). Have now donated £20 to the cause so the blog is proving its worth. I re-start the HRP on 1 Sept so am hoping for better weather than the boys have enjoyed so far. The past 2 years in early Sept have been great (un-alloyed sunshine) so I think they have been pretty unlucky.
