Some shots of the Basque Country we are now walking through

The Pyrenees have been within our landscape now for about 3 days, but a persistent low cloud / smog and no wind has meant we can only see vague outlines -but we can work out that they are very impressive and reach at least 2900 metres in a couple of cases. 

We are already impressed with the Basque houses and farms and there appears to be a lot more activity than earlier in France.
