7 April Aniane-St Jean de la Blaquiere 32 kilometres

Today's walk along the Herault gorge through the medieval town of St Guilhem le Desert and up into the limestone causses is apparently spectacular in good weather. The rain started as we were walking through the gorge and as we made the hour-long zig-zag climb up out of St Guilhem we entered the clouds. We were soon soaked. Fortunately we found some rocks to shelter under for a bite to eat.
