I Would Walk 1000 Miles

I was awake at 8am to find the inside of the tent covered in condensation. Apparently this is something that does happen, and I need to leave the vents open a bit more next time. My aim was to be in Sospel by 11:00 and I made it… just. It’s a nice town and I bought some fruit and Coke, bothered another tourist information person for directions and began the hike to Breil–sur-Roya. I intedned to catch up on my original target of getting to Tende by the end of day three. Making Saorge, the original day 2 target, would have been great but a step too far.

I got to Breil-sur-Roya just as the information office was closing, but found out where the GR52 continued before buying some grub to cook by the riverside from a nearby Spar. I walked until night started to fall and picked a fairly poor spot to camp as the ground was rather bumpy. Not to worry, my aching feet stopped me nodding off for half the night anyway.
