    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD COVID-19: Corona virus discussion (Round 4)

    I was really worried about snakes too, some days were 30+C , although I finished at the Apostles in single digit temps and hail. I saw one ?brown snake just after walking through Cape Otway, I nearly trod on it as I was head down, walking up a slope. I just froze and walked backwards until it...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD COVID-19: Corona virus discussion (Round 4)

    It was 3am at work this morning and I had a moment of clarity regarding my trip (Le Puy to Cahors Sept 2020). It is still some months off and many, many things will change between now and then. I have been biding my time, as I do have the benefit of my departure being early September. However, I...

    I am all for trying some organ meats- best I am as unaware as you were though Kitsambler ;-)

    Great, glad the yogurt tends to be not sugary- phew. I will give the jams a miss for the most part and take my trusty tube of vegemite like you BlackRocer57. I also buy peanut butter 'slugs' from Coles that I take on walking trips here, I shall take a stack of them to France as they will be a...

    Le Puy musings and plannings....

    I have dialed in my plans, accommodation, airfares...now just to continue saving my $ and maintaining/improving my fitness. I am so utterly excited! I have ended up deciding to walk as far as Cahors in the time that I have, which is where my husband will drive to meet me. It seems like a...

    Le Puy musings and plannings....

    That is exactly what I have got going on, Linda! It is all in pencil at the moment and rubbed out and re-written as it evolves, once locked in, I will write it up neatly for my husband so he can follow. Have booked and paid for my accommodation in Cahors and will look to book my gites...

    That is an excellent resource- thanks a bunch! I was typing in different search terms today and didn't come up with anything half as useful as that.

    Le Puy musings and plannings....

    Okay, so my husband and I have pulled together the latter part of our trip and booked accommodation for Spain to holiday and also to attend the Moto GP race while tripping around. I am organising my trip myself, not through a travel agent, my husband is supportive and encouraging of my...

    Transport options, Lyon to Le Puy?

    Thanks for your reply MichaelC, I just at this moment booked my airfares, so it is all very real now! Ahah good point - there is logic in getting all the awful travelling and fussing about done and then just having a full day 'off' to rest before walking, that would happen if I just push on to...

    Le Puy musings and plannings....

    That was us last week too. I work permanent nights so pointed the kids in the direction of the fridge, told them not to use the oven and wake me only if there was literally a fire I needed to know about. Stay safe, let's hope this weather breaks soon.

    Le Puy musings and plannings....

    Thanks Linda! All very useful info. The ruins would be mind blowing, I can't even quite get my head around something so old. Ahah, nice work with working and then scooting off. I am enjoying your blog immensely. I am up to Day 7. I will have to go and collect my youngest two children from...

    Le Puy musings and plannings....

    Great! I shall make a cup of tea and sit and have a read, thank you for sharing your blog link, savouring it now will save me from the pile of washing I was intending to fold. Ahah you are in the same line of work as me, so you 'get' the annual leave manipulating I am attempting. Very helpful...

    Transport options, Lyon to Le Puy?

    I am considering a single night layover in Lyon myself, is it best just to push on to Le Puy do you think? I am flying into CDG and catching a train to Lyon then onto Le Puy. Thought a stop over would facilitate rest and a bit of a look around, but if that rest is better spent in Le Puy or just...

    Le Puy musings and plannings....

    More finer details ponderings: Keeping an eye on airfare sales and will pull the trigger for the right price, but working out the exact dates has given me a conundrum. It has been mentioned in this thread and elsewhere to avoid starting walking on a Sunday or Monday, however, what if these...

    Le Puy musings and plannings....

    Ooops missed this in my other multiquote attempt! Thanks to all of you generous more experienced forum members, I can see that it was a bit of highway robbery on the travel agents behalf. It was so overwhelming to even think about the trip at the start, but each little piece of info you have all...

    Le Puy musings and plannings....

    I am just learning with this multiquoting business, so hopefully it is not too clunky to read my reply. I found that FB group and joined yesterday, I am loving looking at the photographs. Very inspiring. I can see that you are indeed very familiar with this Way. I shall purchase the MMD app...

    Le Puy musings and plannings....

    Excellent idea, thank you! I will try that. Even if I only get lucky once every few days with English speaking Gite owners, that should stop me losing the power of speech on my travels- although I suspect my husband would like it if I finished the trip talking a little less than I do now! I did...

    Le Puy musings and plannings....

    I will do that, I think that will give me time to take some pressure off and adjust to the culture shock I will no doubt experience. Figeac will be do-able now that I have looked at it. Conques looks lovely, but I think I will be there before I am ready to finish and I have read that it can be...

    Le Puy musings and plannings....

    alan janette, yes I have seen from my initial research that France will be more expensive than if I were to walk in Spain, I am looking forward to visiting Spain with my husband at the conclusion of the walk, but as you say, France is definitely worth being more costly to explore on foot. The...
