My son has been with me for the last week - he's a worker now and learning the real meaning of vacation. We've done a bunch of cycling, but today was a long hiking day up Coste Longue.
The summit is at the end of a long ridge and we discovered a big herd of sheep between us and it. Sheep in the mountains come with patous, huge dogs that protect the herd against wolves.
We ducked down the other side of the ridge and popped back up near the summit. From 2 kms away, a patou broke from the herd and started following us. He seemed to be going slowly but he still caught us up very quickly. He stopped around 250m away and lay down on the path just as we reached the summit.
We had a nervous lunch on the summit and decided to take another route down!
