Day # 2 May 23

From Orrison we started to walk

Hills so steep we couldn't talk

Then came the rain

Snow & hail what a pain

Leaving Frances & me so distraught

 

The trip from Orrison to Roncesvalles was arduous to say the least. We had been warned that this trek across the mountains was"challenging". They weren't joking! We thought the first climb (right outside  the door) was going to be ok but we could only see about 200m. It went on and on and after that it only got worse. Of course it didn't help when the rain turned to hail and then snow. Well sure then we felt right at home.

Photographic evidence to follow.
