We climb up through some cloud past cows, sheep and pigeon shooting posts. Wonderful traditional hamlets of stone farm buildings and timber framed houses. Tiny stone churches with steep slate roofs ring out the hour.
At St Bertrand an impressive large church on a rocky knoll looks spectacular. Then along an easy valley route to the tiny hamlet of Ore and the most beautiful overnight stop yet. A Belgium couple have restored a large house with such taste! We have an enormous room each , full of antiques, and then enjoy a meal of local recipes at an enormous table, joined by our hosts. Just down the road we have very close views of Firecrests and the distant snowy mountains.
