WEEK 5

Day 31 decided to take a well earned rest today. Only walked for one hour from El Serrat to the Refuge de Sorteny. They met a lovely French couple Marie and Michel, who have emailed us and kindly sent us the pictures that you can see on the blog.
Day 32 walked through the north of Andorra. Climbed to the Collada dels Meners (2713m). Weather poor again. Had snow,rain,mist and hail. Didn't quite finish the day where they had planned instead pitched the tent at Camping d'Incles.
Day 33 passed numerous lakes in Andorra and then back into France today at Port de l'Albe (2539m). Arrived in L'Hospitalet-pres-l'Andorre village this evening and booked into the gite d'etape. This evening they are able to wash their clothes in a washing machine the first proper wash since leaving home. They usually use a river. Hopefully the fresh clothes will make them feel more comfortable tomorrow and spur them on.
They are now moving into the final section of the walk.This is described as a long walk, the longest section of them all. They have to encounter Pic Carlit (2921m) the highest summit of the eastern Pyrenees. They have plenty of time though as their goal was to complete this challenge in 50 days and at present are well on target and can afford to take some time out to rest.
