GR 221 Day 2 Sat Feb 1st

Sat Feb 1st

A wet day. Waterproofs on and stayed on although the rain wasn't continuous. Unfortunately it was raining hard when I packed up the tent, a nice soggy lump to put up tonight.

Misty moisty morning
A good, damp walk to Ses Fontanelles where there is a hostel but no other facilities, I had hoped for breakfast.
A typical path today 
A climb up then on a very unclear, rough, limestone path that has been well way marked, towards Mola De s'Esclop.
View in a clearance 
The top was in the cloud and I decided not to climb right up but stayed on the path, 844 meters was enough for today.
Estellencs
A long, steady descent to Estellencs where I thought there would be a chance of finding a bar/restaurant but the only place open was a little shop selling sweets and tourist tat. Disappointing, not sure why they were open as there was no body about.
Camp site on a terrace
Walked on out of the village to find a place to camp, on a damp terrace, about 2km further on.
Drystone walls each side of the path
