HILLS!!!
Today has been another big day for us. We left our camp this morning & headed towards Andorra on the N20, the only road from Toulouse to Andorra. It's quite a busy road but luckily there is a small path at the side where we can cycle.
It's been great cycling in the hills instead of constant flat farm land but wow it's a lot harder (Danny, it's like that hill we used to do hill reps on except it doesn't stop after 10). We stopped for lunch in a nice town which I imagine is fair hoaching during the ski season.
I must admit that after lunch the gradient of the hill got a lot steeper & I began to struggle. We kept pushing the pedals until around 1530 where we came to the last campsite marked on the map. Lucky we stopped as a severe weather warning had been issued for storms in the area, luckily they came to nothing.
Dinner tonight consisted of a microwave meal from the campsite & 2 ration pack boil in the bags!
Tomorrows plan is to get to Andorra. Just a mere 25km to the border, however, we still have to climb 1200 meters.
Leave us some comments please-it's great to hear from people!
