Well I am sure as children you all played that game as you were nearing your holiday destination,who is first to see the sea. Well its very close for the boys now. Day 44 climbed Roc de Frausa, also called Roc de France. Day 45 headed for Las Illas and spent the night in the bar/restaurant dels Trabucayres. Have decided to take advantage of a more comfortable bed for the last few nights and eat in restaurants so not needing to carry so much food with them.The weather much improved 34 degrees at the weekend and the high 20's today. Unfortunately have been experiencing bad stomachs and requiring lots of toilet stops last few days. Not sure if this due to eating proper meals again. They say they are OK and craving food so can't be too serious. Hope this improves before the party begins on Thursday.
Day 46 passed through Le Perthus, the border village between France and Spain.They didn't mention if they had bought us any duty free goods. Tonight at gite d'etape on the Col de l'Ouillat.
Tomorrow they head off on the very last leg of this amazing journey. The plan is to leave just a short trek on Thursday morning to meet us at Banyuls-sur Mer. We all can't wait now. We are truly proud of their achievements and the fantastic sum of money that has been raised and the money is still coming in which is great.
This blog site is open until the 1st Oct so please continue to log on as I am sure Stewart and Derrick will want to write and tell you all about their adventures in their own words.

Hi Guys
A lovely day & we are just coming down from the Roc des Trois Termes, near Perthus. We sit ourselves down for a bite to eat & Mandi says to me, i wonder if anyone walks from one end to the other ! The next minute 2 figures appear climbing up the slope, should i greet them in french ? I ended up saying your late ( quite funny at the time ) Glad you found sustanance, in the foxes mints we gave you. You should have accepted the can of coke ;) That meeting was quite amazing & i'm glad we met up after you came down, even the boat trip ( i am recovering ) :) Once again a great acheivement & we shall stay in touch.
Cheers Sav & Mandi
PS: Hopefully we can sell some cakes at one of our markets, with a little publicity for you & the proceeds.
