France September 3 St. Chelay

This was a day filled with mostly descending however the trails were hazardous, with many streams to cross without a bridge, and rocky terrain that made it dangerous going downhill. But it was a shorter distance today, covering 17km. An interesting observation in the past few days are the houses using shale as shingles for their roof. The older homes, which are over 100 years old still have the original shale which are twice as thick as the ones used on new homes. It is amazing that the roofs are still intact given the weight of the shingles.
