28th July Lac d'Estaing

As there was lots of cloud first thing, I did not leave the campsite until after 11.30.
It was soon hot, but most of the ascent to the Col de Borderes was in shady forest.
Then a descent to the village of Estaing was followed by a warm walk up the valley to a campsitoe at Lac d'Estaing.
This valley is very scenic and consequently there were lots of tourists and campsites.
For some reason the campsite depressed me initially. A visit toze the tacky cafe/bar/ tourist shite place, and a chill out with the wonderful views sorted that out.
I ate one of my freeze-dried meals, a pasta one that was very satisfying and crashed out with views of the mountains
