It was Sally’s turn to have an upset stomach but she still managed to drive me to the day’s starting point. Neil was unable to wake up, so I left alone. And during more than 10 hours walking, I met nobody except one group of noisy French, about 15 elderly people, no doubt an old age pensioners’ outing! Then the whole countryside seemed to have been emptied of its inhabitants – large farms where one could see farm animals but no humans, deserted villages, customs buildings closed up (yesterday we saw one with a “for sale” sign on it!). This must be one of the forgotten parts of Switzerland.
Cloudy all day, wind, fog, in fact ideal for walking. Many obstacles, including countless barbed wire fences (especially on the Swiss side) and again paths marked on the maps but which are no longer there!
Night: Le Chandelier, St-Ursanne
Pour nous,
cet post est fascinante – merci. Le témoignage & les observations sont parfaitement
La solitude….un certain philosophe a écrit que “l’enfer c’est les autres” donc cher Rupert, c’était le paradis, peut-être ? Beau, mitigé, acceptable ou… Félicitations pour le courage et la réussite, 10 heures de marche, wouah ! Bon vent pour la suite. Lilette
10 heures de marche tout seul c’est long ! Je suis ton voyage avec beaucoup d’intérêt. Bonne route et bon courage pour demain. Ursula
