update 21st-22nd may

21st may
St Lary-bagneres de luchon
Rain rain snow rain to sum up the day. Long up to col de peyerfite-azet. Snowed at 1500m! Steep down to Loudenville with deviation due to cows. Hot choc and cake to help with he 500m of ascent we faced up to Germ & col Peyresourde with its own runway. Passed two rabobank cyclists out training on the col. Old man selling 50cent crepes & honey so felt obliged to stop. Really long down to Luchon, but made it, however campsite 2km away, but very nice.
Spent day passing through electric fences, disappointed Lawr didn't electrocute himself once..
highs-bed, cheese, ibrufen, crepe stop
lows- 500m up,500m down then 500m up in 2km hard on the head, rain, waterproof boots that aren't
note- have reached the extreme rating of lightweight sleeping bag so wearing all clothes to bed.

22nd may
Rest day in Baggy
Great night sleep. Maybe because we are half way on the map! Camp site gave us free bikes to toddle about on. Quite like the Mary Poppins look, although almost had nose bleed at the speed. Clothes all clean. Lawr used his Welsh charm and passion of rugby to get us loads of information on a new and slightly unusual route. So looks like we are off to sunny Spain!!
highs- bikes, food, dry tent
lows- none, we are half way and the sun is out!
note- Sent back the first four maps! :)
