Route: Le Puy to Aumont
Highlight: I travelled in May and enjoyed the spectacular wild flowers of the Central Massif virtually
to myself.
Meal Highlight: Being in France the food is wonderful – from the Puy region's specific lentils dishes to the impressive typical Aligot
of the l'Aubrac region.
Gear Tip: On the flat sections, you can transfer from boots to runners, so have enough room in or on your daypack to attach/ pack your boots.
Training/Fitness Tip: Start at least three months in advance, and aim for three one- hour sessions a week. A month before your trip – even earlier if you can – put a day walk each weekend into the mix to build the endurance you’ll need for this walk.
