2005 Diary

A 51-day walk made up of two parts.

We started with a 19 day walk from Blois to Angoulême, exploring the Loire and Cher rivers as far as Tours, and then turning south on the pilgrim’s Way of Tours to Angoulême.

This was followed by a 32 day walk in the south-west.

From Terrasson we went down the Vézère and Dordogne rivers to Lalinde. Catching the train back to les Eyzies, we proceeded upstream as far as Souillac, from where we made a loop in the upper Dordogne through Carennac, Beaulieu, Collonges and Martel to Rocamadour.

We then continued south to the Lot river and the Gorges of the Aveyron, on our way to Albi and finally Revel, close to the Canal du Midi.

For those who like statistics there is a spreadsheet that gives details of this walk.
