Sept 5th. Montcuq

Day 16    21.5 miles   total 231

I walked into Cahors with a French guy who's backpacking with a tarp. After an excellent pan au raison and expensive coffee we seperated as he's a fast walker.
The exit from Cahors was over a spectacular Pont Valentre bridge followed by the steepest climb of the whole walk.
The route was easier going than yesterday's. Woodland and scrubby heathland, became almost downland towards the end of the day.
I was feeling pretty good after yesterday's walk, and passed quite a few people.
Arriving at Montcuq around 5, it was tourist office, beer at a bar, campsite, shower, supermarket.
Camped with tarp hiker from this morning.
The lads stopped 10km short of Montcuq.
