Our last day of hiking! After a chilly start (6C/43F) it was a beautiful day with blue skies, gentle breezes and easy walking. Because we had to return the cars yesterday our initial plan was to get an Uber to our starting point in Conde sur Marne… but there were no Ubers available. Plan B: hike to the Via, avoiding most of the main roads by following the tracks. This would bring us out about 6km into the route… but there was a big hunting party on the tracks and they advised us to stay on the roads. Plan C: we hiked the 2.5km of roads to join the Via near Juvigny, then continue the Via along the Canal Latéral à la Marne into Châlons en Champagne for a total hike of about 12.5km/7.8m.





























At home tonight, preparing the last supper of this trip… Spanish Chicken, a favourite over past weeks.
