July 31st Luz st Saveur

My intuition serves me well. I did not feel happy to spend the night in the mountains, and the effort to get to Gavarnie confirmed I had made the right decision.
(Less than 10 minutes of arriving in Gavarnie I met up with a woman who I saw regularly on my camino walk through France last year).
As I was putting my tent up it started to rain, and it turned into thunder within 30 minutes.
After my mega effort the day before I had the longest continuest sleep I can remember for years.
I woke to fog and drizzle, so decided to pack up quick and head down to Luz st. Saveur. The first car passed me and I got a lift all the way.
The day improved but stayed cloudy. Checking the forecast gave an iffy day next. My guidebook says don't go on in cloudy weather as the next 2 days are some of the most spectacular of the whole GR10.
If it looks ok in the morning I will carry on, if not I will get a bus to Lourdes then a train into Spain to Irun to start the Camino del Norte, which goes along the Atlantic coast.
