The book states - "Route de Napoleon: A strenuous uphill walk is rewarded with stunning views in all directions. (sparing the fog). The first part is through steeply wooded countryside.. While the uphill section will stretch the cardiovascular muscles, injury is likely towards the end when the mind and muscles will be tired, stay very focused." ..and then there are the Griffon vultures, the ones with 8 foot wing spans. Turns out the biggest concentration in the world exists here... Over 1800 pairs! They hang out waiting for anything or body to expire. Guess we're not stopping for a nap!
It also goes to say, the hospitals and health clinics are only 160 km away. They also specialize in treating foot and leg injuries sustained by... Over eager pilgrims. We are not the over eager pilgrim type so no need to worry. Hmmm...don't be over eager, don't stop too long....
