Friday 30th July at Chalet de l`Albere
Hi mes amis, sorry for the long delay since the lqst posting but this is the first internet I have found. Good news is I will finish and dip my feet in the Med tomorrow, saturday the 31st July at about 1 pm if all goes well. Bad news is I have no time to tell you all the things that have happened to henry and me since the last posting; I fly back on Sunday 1st august arriving at Bristol at 1755. Liz is picking me up, but am at Sidmouth on the Monday so will update in full after that. Needless to say it includes a bout of food poisoning, sharing a cabine with a shepherd, another one with a mouse, and a third fighting a squirrel that stole henrys chocolate at 3 in the morning. Also walked through a rainbow camp, a nudist colony and a deserted hippy settlement with a complete bikini lying beside a swimming pool but no sign of anybody. It has been a great experience far more tiring and hard than I dreamt. There are quite a few of us aiming to finish tomorrow, from several nationalities. I am also phoneless so cant contact anybody til I get back. I have lost a considerable amount of weight andwould suggest anyone else doing this as a Billsponsored event get the sponsorship on a weight loss basis. You will raise a fortune. Must go now as dinner is ready, lots of love to you all and think of me tomorrow.

    Bill, Well done my friend. I have been so annoyed that i have not been able to call you or contact you, I have sent you messages but of course you have not been able to receive them but most of all i wish I was able to stay with you or at least be with you for the finnish. See you soon and you can tell me all about your travels from the time I had to give up. Les

    Bill, it was a pleasure to walk with you over the past few days. Just trying to generate a few slideshows from my piccies (reduced to less than 400 !?!?!?!) so I can run them independently on the big tele for my daughter and fiancé who arrive tomorrow for the weekend!

    Hi Bill, congratulations again. Wow, you finished this long footpath through the pyrenees!!! By remembering the end of my tour on the GR 11 I can say: it is a very special feeling when you look at a flat sea after walking such a long time in the mountains. Enjoy your memories!
