Friday 14th Sallent to Ibon de Respumoso 8kms

Only a short walk today though all of it a steep climb. There is a Refugio (tramping hut) at the lake of Respumoso. It is at 2200mtrs above sea level and we wanted to use it as a staging ground for the next days push up and over one of the highest passes we would face on the trip (Cuello Tebarral 2800mtrs). We arrived at just after midday at the refugio and were pleased to find that they had accommodation, and a bar and meals! 2 cold beers were rapidly despatched and we made ourselves the usual lunch while looking up at the incredibly high peaks that now completely surrounded us.

Vicki Said -

This is begining to sound like a bar crawl through the pyrenees. Do you think you could have found an easier way to sample spanish beer? Anyway glad to see you are still alive - just. It all sounds wonderful though to us here sitting at computers all day. Hugs.

We were up at the Respumoso on Saturday and after all of this rain, the valley was full of waterfalls and the canyon was boiling. Strangely there were 4 of us Brits at the hut, each with a pint of St Miguel. I think it's a question of quality of life, Vicki
