    Eucalyptus trees - when do they smell?

    clothing for the Ingles

    Poncho, (Decathlon or Altus as the sleeves are not going to flap about.) One pair of pants, zip off is your choice. Hat with a brim, 'cos skin cancer's a bugger ! Enjoy the trip, I hope to be there in the (northern) autumn

    Aragones / Invierno advice, please

    I started from Bedous after taking the shuttle train from Pau in September this year, stopped at Urdos, then Candanchú and Canfranc Pueblo. The station is impressive, in fact that's one of the reasons I wanted to cross at Somport.

    Any suggestions for a technical shirt with the performance of Merino but without the drawbacks?

    I used Aldi merino t-shirts on my recent walk, good value, wore well, looked and smelled fine even after weeks of wear (and not too many washes) and as you say about $A30 !

    Bed in Bedous tonight

    In Osse, yes. Only two here at this gîte so far. I am doing the Aragones indeed. Others have also said it is a lovely walk and I have long wanted to see CanFranc station for myself (not just on TV with Michael Portillo 😹)
