Day 8 - Wednesday, 2 October 2024 - Saint-Côme d'Olt to Estaing. ~21 klms,~ 176.3 klms total.
I'm writing this from the commune of Estaing, at the end of a fascinating day of meanderings. There is much to say about Estaing, and very specifically the Estaing Castle, and I'm not going to have time to write it all. So today's post, Meanderings I, is not much more than a series of photos of the day. Meanderings II will come a bit later.
I'll start with a repeat of a photo I posted yesterday, taken from the Pont de Saint Côme d'Olt at 4pm yesterday (Oct 1).
As we crossed the bridge this morning at 9am I took essentially the same photo:
Major difference in 12 hours or so. Only a few hundred metres downstream the difference was implicitly explained (if indeed you can implicitly explain something):
To today's trail photos, many of them alongside the Lot River, or in/overlooking the Lot River valley:
Beautiful meandering walk today. Part II tomorrow, or a s soon as I can get to it.
Biggish day tomorrow.
One of our favourite areas in France - just stunning and so lucky to have sunshine too. Hope you are picking up some excellent lunches from the fantastic bakeries.

This is one of my favorite days! And I’m so happy to see the beautiful weather for today’s walk! I hope it continues for you all! I hope everybody is feeling back to 100%, as well! Bon Chemin!! Kerri
Great photos, nothing like watching a river rise. Hope the rest of the trip goes well for all. Peter could you also give our love to Trish Flower. Sada and Margaret.
