Friday 22nd August

After breakfast at the Hostel, we managed to get a lift from a mid-wife to Rochefont – we passed straight through, seeing Lafayette’s Statue on the way.  We then got a lift to Grupont by a kindly hotel keeper, who treated us to beer at his establishment in Grupont.

We then got 2 more lifts to St. Huberts, where I collected a poste restante letter from home.  We visited the Abbey of St. Hubert and then walked into town.

After sometime a lorry driver gave us a lift to Morbet, but alarmed us somewhat by reading our map, and whilst doing so, allowed the lorry to drive crazily from side to side.

We obtained yet a further lift before finally pitching our tent in a pine wood just past Nives! It was an extremely quiet night, but in the early hours of the morning we discovered hundreds of spiders in the tent.
