Hello and welcome to my channel.

What was meant to be a three day hiking trip, crisscrossing the Spanish and French Pyrenees border and staying in refuges, unfortunately could not go ahead due to a weather front in the region, which brought almost 5 days of solid rain, thunder, lightning and strong winds, with temperatures reaching as low as 4c (it was 30c the days before we arrived)

On the penultimate day before we left the charming mountain town of Les, we tried one final time to go on a short hike to a place called Port de la Bonaigua, around 2000 metres above sea level and although it was raining, it wasn't so heavy and I managed to at least capture some drone footage.

The area was full of atmosphere with the low clouds rolling in, as well as Vultures, wild horses and other wildlife. Although not the trip we planned, Isabel and myself were both glad we made the effort to at least get one hike in, in what is an absolutely magnificent part of the world. We managed to make the most of what was atrocious weather and even managed to have a few giggles at my attempts at putting the poncho on.

Enjoy.
