Borce-Gabas
misty start & wise old man gave us a short cut. mad super brilliant on the chemin de mature! A massive cliff with a path cut out by convicts! no room for tripping over on this route. Feet soaked from start due to fording high rivers. thick mist and snow, but got to col ok with a great inversion! was wished courage by fellow walker as I took a deep breath and followed Lawr into the mist & heavy snow. Shivering we made CAF hut in Gabas,but it was closed but they gave us hot choc and free camping. must look miserable more often!
highs-col over 2000m, hot choc, wise man
low- distance and timing, cold wet feet all day, no shower
note-took local advice so change of route.
