Hendaye-Sare
1st day of walking. Street map had wrong route and spent 30mins finding GR. Through villages we had a four legged friend showing us the way to the camping, which was shut. So camped in gully next to strean.
highs- good weather, lovely start to walk
lows- overdone day, few blisters, poor camp site.
notes - crossed into spain, spoke spanish to a lady who knew where Wales is.
