Camino Photo of the Day: Slightly Lost in a Spooky Woods
After crossing the Pont des Pèlerins (Pilgrims’ Bridge), the Way climbed up to a forest road. I couldn’t find the trail markings in the dark, even with my flashlight. And these woods were definitely a little spooky. After wandering around a bit, I was soon joined by four pilgrims, two older German ladies and two younger French ladies. One of the younger French ladies had a GPS app mapped to the Camino. Once I had bandwidth later in the day, I downloaded the app. It would prove alternately helpful and frustrating in the days ahead.

Maps!
If you’re the sort who looks at the maps, you’ll note that the stage shown is 32+km long. I split this up into two days, since I wanted to spend some time exploring both Saint-Chély-d’Aubrac and Saint-Côme-d’Olt, both of which are on the list of most beautiful villages in France.
