Thank you! Yes, I always make sure I have enough water. Food is ok, if I don´t have food, I just skip eating and get some food the next day or two days later...I fast several days every month. But water is crutial for me. I plan to walk longer distances here and there, sometimes upto 50km a day...
Thank you. Yes, I have a 2litre camel bag for water and I will carry an extra bottle with a water filter which I found handy on my hikes. I still count on generousity of village people and hope they will help in case I need water...though I have never encountered a situation having not enough...

Thank you. Several people have advised me to skip the route from Arles and rather start my camino in Montpellier or better in Toulouse. However, I want to do all the demanding hilly hikes so your words about the Haut Languedoc are my cup of tea :-) Sounds good. If I start the whole camino...
