16. Day 8. Thursday 29th August

Start Point: Lompret 645'
Highest Point during the day: 1250'
End Point: Sedan 560'
Total Climbing 1515'
Climbing difficulty factor 42
Distance: 72 miles
Cumulative distance: 398 miles
The hardest day so far. As I was planning a rest day tomorrow and therefore needed a two night stay in a hotel, I decided to look on Wednesday night on the internet. I booked a nice hotel at a reasonable rate and thought it looked about the right distance for a relatively easy day ie: 50 to 60 miles.

I set off late at 9:45 and gradually realised as the day went on that this was too far. In the end it turned out to be 72 miles, one more than yesterday!

Here's my only picture of the day:

 
So, exhausted! But day off tomorrow, and at 398, I'm just about half way, so it's all downhill from here (not really).

Just a quick note about visiting Ann.
Next week (weekdays), Ann has visitors booked on Thursday only. If anybody is interested in visiting on TUESDAY AFTERNOON 3RD SEPTEMBER, please text or email me. Appointments for Tuesday are released on the previous Friday, ie: tomorrow.
