Stairway to Heaven

If you like hiking and have a good head for heights then this is the trail for you. It's the start of the old mule track that goes from Pont du Loup deep in the valley of the River Loup up to Gourdon, the archetypal perched village 500 metres higher. I have no idea what the gradient is but believe me, it is steep so grab your walking boots, take a deep breath and up we go!

Tomorrow we'll have a look round the first bend..

I think I need to be taking more walks. I'm up for the challenge.

So do I, I'm ready for this new

Sounds like one of the adventures my husband leads me on all the time. "old horse trail", in Steve-speak, means impossibly steep with very little sign of an actual trail! For your sake, hope this one is better defines and easier to follow. I'll check back to see where your path leads...

We enjoy hiking in our mountains -- your hike sounds like a good one.
