30th June
Some rain overnight but it stayed dry for me to get packed up but there was some heavy rain and cloud after I had got over the col.

I met a young lad from Poland who was doing the GR 11 in the opposite direction, he was impressed by my age and I was impressed that he was doing it on 10 euros per day.

Heavy rain as I went over the top which eased to showers on the way down.

| The way down |
Again nice low temperatures, waterproofs and fleece, reminded me of home.

| Car park and dam at Estany de Santiago Maurici |
The path from Estany de Santiago Maurici becomes a popular tourist trail and there were a lot of people about, being Sunday would have helped even though the weather wasn't good.

| Trail down the valley |
Espot is a bustling tourist village with loads of accommodation, bars, restaurants and shops.

| Old bridge at Espot |
I bought some more gas and pole ends (one of mine has collapsed) from a little outdoor shop.
 |
| Espot church |
The error of booking ahead struck again and I got here too early, nothing to do but eat and drink. It's a tough life!

At last you are somewhere shown on Joy's tourist map of Spain, rather than following you by dead-reckoning. Beautiful scenery.
Andy- and Joy.
