Your legs will feel fresh for the first few hours, but by midday you’ll start to feel the kilometres. Meanwhile, your mind is free to wander. This isn’t a day with a steep climb, but it is a day that just keeps going.
You’ll walk through the green of the Périgord: woodland, meadows and the odd village. The route gently rises and falls. By the end you’ll have descended a little more than you’ve climbed, which helps tired legs. Thiviers comes into view without any fuss, a town you’ll be glad to see.
With almost 8 hours of walking, it’s wise to take generous breaks. That way you’ll arrive in daylight.
