Another lovely walk…another day playing with thunderstorms! A 15 km walk from Rennes-le-Chateau to Espéraza (where there’s a quirky market on a Sunday - great stop for lunch and gift shopping). ‘Weather’ was forecast for late pm but storm clouds rolled in just after lunch so we hoofed it back to Rennes. Some big fat raindrops, thunder rumbling and lightening flashing on the next hill over. But as we reached Rennes the sun came back out again and we enjoyed a beer on a sunny terrace.
I've been in a great mood lately! Yesterday I walked over 15k steps!
Part of those steps: I did strolling magic yesterday. The host liked me so much, they gave me a 15% tip! I also tried out a couple of new effects and they worked like a literal charm. I was in a flow state.
The weather has been absolutely gorgeous the last few days. I've not needed air conditioning.
I’m hanging out at the famous Blue Pool this morning eating lunch and drying out my tent. It rained a bit while I slept but was only misting by the time I was packing up. I’ve already covered a large portion of the trail last night and this morning. This trail is a gem, I love it out here. I believe the waterfall corridor is next. Just a quick post, more photos to come.
I tagged the end of the trail this morning. Incredible trail. No one told me I would be hiking on a lava bed at the edge of a beautiful lake. I’m currently in the snow attempting a summit of Sand Mountain to see the views.

KERRY KING: 'I Lost 10 Pounds Not Even Trying'
In a new interview with Riff X's "Metal XS", SLAYER guitarist Kerry King, who relocated to New York City less than three years ago, spoke about how he is preparing for his upcoming tour with his solo band after not playing any shows since 2019.
Started out sunny, ended in a sea fret, which rolled in with the tide. Not before I had another ice cream though (not pictured). #Walking#FifeCoastalPath
Mount Hood looks stunning from up here on Table Mountain. I was informed by a frankly terrified-looking day hiker that black bears were seen up here last night. I’m proceeding with caution and will update you if I encounter them. 🐻🗻☀️
I’m really enjoying the views of Mount Adams. One of my goals this summer is to backpack near the volcano. I fell in love with it on the peak of Old Snowy. If you didn’t know it’s mid-May you would think it’s summer. I had a great time meeting and camping with @intrepidhero. We didn’t see the aurora per se but we saw a late night greenish sky. Felt lighter out.
I explored the unmaintained Two Chiefs Trail on the way out of the forest. Saw some unique views of Table Mountain from the south. Had to turn back at Greenleaf Creek because there was no way to cross without getting soaked. It was great to be back out exploring new areas along the PCT.
A huge congratulations to @philipthalis on his well-deserved award.
Philip is undeniably both one of Australia's most respected architects and a tireless advocate for good urban design.
More importantly, he's not afraid to speak up publicly against bad state government planning decisions, as he did with Barangaroo, even when there's a personal cost.
Thursday:
125 seconds of plank
11 minutes of yoga for runners (#AppleFitness)
20 minutes of HIIT
30 minutes of strength training
5.2 KM of #running
4.3 km of fast #walking (10°C)
Workouts went reasonably well, about 5km in, my body firmly decided it wanted to walk (albeit quickly).
Nice to see the protests in front of the Russian embassy getting ramped up the past few days. Also happy they saw my hat (has 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇦 on it)
