A pleasant pause at Gedre for a coffee and muffin but shouldn’t have diverted into into Luz Saint Sauveur as Monday market mayhem was in progress. Gavarnie was much quieter, especially when I first arrived. Rolled up the gravel towards the cirque until it suddenly steepened up and I thought it was prudent to turn around before I came a cropper. Tried to come back down the other side of the risseau but the path was washed away by the recent flooding so I had to go back and retrace my approach towards the cirque. Thought I might as well wander along a random road for a little way to see what it was like but it didn’t seem to be going anywhere in particular so I turned back and up towards the Col des Tentes. The latter was five stars but I decided to not struggle up another 700 metres to the top in order to save something for tomorrow, which looks like being the best of the days we have left here in the Pyrenees. Turned around and swooped back through the switchbacks to Gavarnie and then revelled in the wonderful descent to Luz and Argelès. Bad management of ready cash meant I was a bit hungry by the time I got back to Argelès so I detoured up into centre ville, got some cash and had a Leffe and a Crock Monsieur.
