Ouch they told us we´d never do it – they should´ve been right. We climbed 1100m – like the hair and the tortoise we dove tailed well although when Dancin Al´s legs were going the Eagle turned its attention away from the sheep.
In all seriousness we were lucky. It was overcast and we climbed from 7am – noon with a 5 minute break every hour – each time we stopped the mist lifted 100m and meant that we could see where we were going for the next hour but not more.. If we´d seen the whole gig all bets were off and the lardy asses would be coming home tamed by the 1410m col de lepoeder.
No messing these hills were hard – but just as the sun burst through we started our descent – by the way – dodgy knees in Dancin Al held us up – the downhills were always questionable and the sheer descent from the 1400m to 1000m over 4km is pretty 1 in 10, with 1 in 3 in places.
We were offered the sheer descent over 3.5km or the wimps one – lardy asses decided to bank what they had!
We got into the 120 bed dorm at 4.30pm – man o man is it stinking now and its only 9pm and we´re thinking lucky we´re knacked!
Nowt like the mountains the views – especially with the swirling mist and low cloud – superb!
500 miles walking the Camino to Santiago de Compostela 
well done!!!!!!
i’ve just read this and i’m full of admiration, this is going to be more difficult than putting together an ikea table!
Don’t burn yourselves out too early. What is the combined weight loss so far? and dont count the skin falling off your feet as inches lost round the waist.
Keep up the good work
