Saugues to Nasbinals

PM:
Woke up to rain. Spent most of the morning lounging around waiting for a break in the weather, which never came to pass. Went to see the friendly old lady by the church before heading off past fellow pilgrims who looked like hunchbacks with their rucksacks hidden below colourful ponchos. On a sunny day this would have been a fantastic road to follow with weaving roads and rolling valleys. As it was the mood was dampened literally. Lunch in Le Malzieu Ville (famous for its spit roast) was a damp affair but triumphant for it's simplicity and carb content. Then back out into the torrential downpour, past steelworks and then more climbing up to the plateau. On an energy sapping day, we would have done better to have eaten little but often during the afternoon. Arrived in Nasbinals at the Hotel La Randonnee running on empty and desperate for a whisky and a hot shower.
