Aire sur l'Adour to home

Early start as planned. Taxi on time at 7am and the Moroccan driver took 40 minutes to get to Pau airport. On the way we got a great view of the Pyrenees with glistening white snow caps in the sunshine. Ours was the first flight of the day and we did some judicious pre-weighing of bags to adjust for Ryanair's tight restrictions - our backpacks were well filled and we wore our boots! Flight uneventful and Woking taxis were on hand to meet us (£120), Heavy M25 traffic getting home where all was well.

it has been a good couple of weeks. Again Des was fitter than the rest of us,
the girls suffered quietly with aches, blisters and fatigue and I was able to do all that was asked. It was a shame the weather was so bad particularly for the Todds in week 1, when we have had scarcely a drop of rain previously. It is undoubtedly a very different experience "just walkin' in the rain......"
