28th August. Golhinac

Day 8  15.9 miles  Total 117.2

Once again I was awoken during the night by the wind roaring through the treetops in successive waves.
After leaving the town and reaching the first village,
the route became a steep path going up above the valley. For a few miles it stayed high, with great views.
Each day has been through lovely countryside so far.
A steep drop and lovely villages and a welcome break in the town of Estaing, where Catherine caught up with me.
Today was the hottest so far and I had a swim in the river after leaving Estaing. Unfortunately there was a big climb out of the valley and I was hot and thirsty by the time I reached the top.
The final few miles of the day wasy mostly in the shade of trees.
