I walked, at the age of 70, almost 2,000 kms from the Pyrenees to Northern England. My book - "Vic's Big Walk" – is about the walk - and much else besides. "Living In The Real Cyprus" - quickly followed. Both books are now available in both e-book form and in paperback. The walk raised funds for Pancreatic Cancer research. Just click the blue donate button. All proceeds of all books go direct to the same cause. See below to read about my new fundraising project, Vic Talks The Walk

Foot Cleared, Battlebus Delayed
Those are the two items of news for the day, apart from the note found when we returned home - a note which asks us to ring the Gendarmes in Chalabre (we have just driven past their place on the way home from Limoux) to discuss something which "concerns us".
Just been to the doctor and he says it is OK to walk on the foot. The pain was probably caused by the damage inflicted on the top of my arch by having my shoes laced too tight. I have done some research on the internet and it does seem that this can result in a pain which feels like a broken bone.
I think I do sometimes tie the shoes too tight because otherwise they feel too unstable when walking on uneven ground or loose rocks.
Yes, the battlebus is delayed again. If you recall, a couple of weeks ago when we found the original one had not arrived, we ordered another type because we were assured it was available and could be in Pamiers within 5 days. This 5 days rapidly changed into 2 weeks after we signed the order form. That 2 weeks expires about now, but a phone call this morning said it would not now arrive until next week. This is getting very tight for us to test it out. Not to mention the adhesivage, which I now believe will not happen.
