Sept 16th. Navarrenx

Day 32   19 miles   Total 413

So glad I stayed in the gite, as it rained most of the night.
A strange day, as a very warm ferocious wind gradually increased during the day. I saw a  metal roof from a barn on the ground nearby. Leaves and branches were thick on the ground in places. It was very hard to walk in the crosswind on one exposed ridge.
Navarrenx is a walled town and very atmospheric. The best thing about it being the gite, l'Alchemiste. It's run by volunteers, hippyish welcoming people, they wash and dry your clothes, provide a 3 course communal dinner, with plenty of wine. There's breakfast in the morning, and they ask for an anonymous donation in return.
