Photo of a muddy and stony (mostly muddy!) path climbing up through forest (not even the steep bit). Little sunlight filters through the bright green leaves of beech trees. The slopes either side dense with a mix of conifer and beech. A walker toils up the path on the right partway up.

   Today’s walk from Comus to Montsegur was one of two halves.

   The first was down and down through a valley, the sides gradually closing in as the path entered the Frau valley. It was bursting with birdsong and we bimbled along, soaking it in.

   The second half was a brutal climb up through dense forest, slipping and sliding up paths slick with mud. It seemed to go on forever up. We were glad when Montsegur castle came into view.
