Day 15 18.3miles. Total 209.5
After a lovely night in the lavoir (communal laundry), except for the church bell, which chimed the hour, then repeated it 2minutes later in case you didn't hear it the 1st time, the 1st 3miles was road walking, but it saved 2miles.
The weather was good for walking. The Causse is hard underfoot though, so many stones. Not too many hills though.
After lunch it was warmer and the walking was consequently harder. Water points were few and far between.
The last few miles into Cahors was ridge walking that dragged on. Eventually Cahors came into sight, with a sudden descent into the city.
The river Lot surrounds the city on 3 sides.
We stopped and decided to take a taxi out to the camp site, which is off route.
When we crossed one of the bridges into the city, we came across a pilgrims info. office, where we discovered that a free bus went almost to the campsite, nice !
After resupplying with food and drink, it was a relief to have a long shower.
The lads were all in, and decided they'd have a lay-in in the morning. We were in bed by 8.30.
