le lioran august 2011 contd.

seems to be a word limit!

at the col it was windy but exhilarating. we took photos and saw a path that we later discovered would take us to puy mary! we also realised we needed a map with paths marked on it as we liked the idea of walking a circuit rather than retracing steps. as it was by now four o'clock we took the option of going back the way we had come. my one stick was useful but my knees craved the support of two. tea and a crepe seemed a good idea! sadly no crepes in the summer where we had parked so just a tea break but maybe at super lioran which was packed with people. a quick visit to the tourist office and to a shop for a map and we were off back to gagnac. a lovely 'day out' which we must do again...but with the map and TWO sticks!
