Cahor Delta 100 120mm - Bronica ETRC  

So I went to Rocamadour, the second most visited site in France, and It is easy to see why. It is a walled holy city made up of a cathedral, various small chapels and a huge chateau all perched on top of a million year old outcrop of rock. It is situated in a huge huge canyon which you must walk through to reach the great staircase. Regular tourists can take a funicular up to the city but real Pilgrims take the steps like the millions that have gone before them. When you reach the top, a sweaty mess by this point, you enter the Holy Door, the final pathway from the earthly village to the shrine of Our Lady of Rocamadour. It’s all very Lord of the Rings. I’m glad I went, another thing to tick off my ‘things to see before I die list’ and it’s true that they were some amazing stories about the place. It should really take three days to reach from Figeac, but we thought we could smash it in two. mistake. I definitely over did it and am not as invincible as I think. They were the two toughest days of walking I’ve had and my left ankle felt pretty abused. After a night in Rocamadour me and Rob started walking back to join our original Camino route in the city of Cahor. The path was empty, no pilgrims, no Gites to stay in, no shops for food, there was nothing. If you are thinking of taking a variant do your research first. It was pretty depressing. Then we did something awful… something that no good honest Pilgrim would ever do… we hitched a lift onto the motorway and then into Cahor. 30km in a car to join back up with our real Camino. On our way we passed a few weary Pilgrims crossing the bridge over the lot into the city centre and bowed our heads in shame. Cahor is a very exciting city on a Saturday night so we didn’t feel bad for very long.
