Started the day by driving up the highest driveable road in the Pyrennes the Col du Tormalet (2115m) and famous as a killer montain in over 50 Tour de France races over 80 years. Had an easy day walkwise and did an hour out and hour back visiting the visually spectacular Cirque de Gavarnie for those who know it is a very large outsized Malham Cove complete with a very high waterfall. We drove on via Lourdes, so difficult to drive with your hands clasped together and found an excellent campsite next to the rugby stadium in Oloron Ste Marie just south of Pau. A good base for the next three days of mountain walks we had planned. All sites closer than that had already closed for the winter.
