Day 4 – Tro Breiz: Redene – Le Trevoux
Good morning it’s the morning after the third night three to go um really the world looks so much friendlier when it doesn’t train you can’t imagine so easier so much easier to do everything um at night somebody screamed I mean somebody a living creature I suspect that this is this was
A de I once heard one uh long time ago maybe 10 years ago and this time it woke me up little lost it well that apart from all the other night sounds in the forest I uh have to tell myself every time K there’s nobody nobody can be here
Apart from any animals no nobody although it helps but not for a long time but okay it is dangerous it is but it’s uh being afraid and doing it or being afraid and not doing it just two options oh oh look there been some blue in this guy not Sunny Though when I walked my communo to Santiago which I’ve done twice there was a saying walk eat sleep repeat which fully Describe the life of a pilgrim same here but just a little more complex because here I need to pack my T cook my food and so on can you hear the
Sound the sore can you imagine my morning wasn’t so calm um a man on a tractor caught me in the middle of my most intimate um moment I was luy to have almost finished and uh so we talked a little a very nice man 82 years old and
He oh look at that there a river uh and so uh we talked a little and he told me that there is an association uh which uh clears the way because uh in the past two years uh the uh the storm The Tempest uh uh has uh
Has broken many trees like this for example and so what they do is uh they they pass uh by this way and they saw the trees and so they cleared the way uh so he he’s actually doing the right thing but my morning was very different from the normal one and noisy
Yeah okay so such a story okay okay the the way is totally blocked and absolutely wet this is me here this is what I need to get over again through water and there and these guys haven’t cleared here yet and me what am I going to do okay
Done this is the sacrifice this is the sacrifice I have to do the Walkers of TR and the Walkers of Sak the compel this is what they have to do and look after that there is more I don’t know if I’m going to get out of here really I
Don’t of course I did get out of there all wet though and I decided to not follow the wet way but to go right through the forest because I can see the The Pump Station there I don’t know if you can and I’m not ready to swim again no I’ll
Try it this way we’ll see how it goes okay it looks drier here by the way much drier I’m loving it after a little bit of asphalt I’m back in the forest again and so it goes like that asphalt Forest that’s forest and then I’m going to quite a big city called
CER hope to get some lunch and electricity there we’ll see how it goes yeah the storm has done a lot of harm everything’s Fallen a lot of Fallen trees I just can’t stop filming it it’s amazing it’s an amazing forest okay this way to the forest actually took me to this place it’s
Called Uh p s Andre Adrian uh and I so it’s St Adrian’s uh Fountain uh and so I understand that it used to look different but it’s still full of water I’d say so nothing much has changed this is where it comes [Applause] from [Applause] yet another Forest
It’s the last one be before CLE and I don’t know if there’s going to be anything interesting well there is there is of course okay see you there one day I hope to sleep in such a place look there’s a table to eat it’s luxury you don’t have to care area
Garbage and look it’s totally flat and dry it’s Paradise Paradise such a py to leave so that’s CER I’m going down and then up ha as usual in fact I’m going to stop in the first C because I’m hungry and I need electricity but then I will need to
Climb over there to the big Cathedral at the top anyway that’s the way it works okay see you [Applause] there Okay this is My I no it’s like gon and see it’s traditional for me to charge my phone in a uh at least it’s happened so so far I’m in a very special Church in comp it’s totally round like a dome like there’s only the Dome I’m not sure you can see that in the video For Lord Okay not I’ve arrived but it’s just the middle of my day today okay we’ll See Much Can you imagine I lost my way this very often happens in cities when uh the book is rather old my guide It’s rather old and oh everything is BU all over when they say enter the forest you come and uh there is a whole District the whole new District uh where
The forest used to be I’m like what to do then you look for away okay yeah finally I hope uh I’m in the area where nothing’s changed so much because it’s almost outside the city well we’ll see we’ll see uh and uh I have
Uh uh I have at least 10 km to go and uh well uh uh however there is a hope that I’ll stay in a monastery today I’ll at least try uh in the K where I had lunch and charged my phone a little bit oh you see here here’s the Sun at
Lost right in my eye now because I’m heading west okay yes and uh so uh the people there they uh they told me that uh in that Monastery they accept uh uh the pilgrims of San ja compel uh the Santiago sanago de okay uh and uh so my
Way is to which is like also a pilgrim way but around Britany so there is hope we’ll see tell you later now I’m practically running cuz I have well from where I am now it’s about 7 km 7 and a half to the monastery not to the
City uh of Asault well at least it’s not along the river up and down up and down it’s like that so all right uh this is what it takes it’s like uh you have to rely on your luck you have to to give in and really trust trust the universe
Something like that okay we’ll see what it brings me today a nice little chapel on the way Chael de la madin I’ll see if I can enter well you know despite by the fact that I need to hurry really I think I have time to enter a chapel if it’s open nope all
Closed can you see the spider’s web yeah it hasn’t been open for a long time okay hello I’m going on a little detour from from the busy road look is looking at me hello you’re so Strong very strong strong okay bye-bye I’m going on look she’s come up to me she wants to communicate hello I have nothing than for you but okay ah okay you only want some maybe an apple okay well no I couldn’t of course I couldn’t run all the way it’s just too far you
Know but my really fast March before uh played its part and I’m nearer to the to the monastery than I could be so I think um I think this was a good idea uh now I may slow down a little uh the distance will take me about 1 hour I think and uh
Now it’s uh let me check now it’s 1815 uh and it starts to get dark at 19 by 1930 I need to be certain where I’m going to sleep so looks uh looks possible we’ll see what I like about this way and about this guide is that it always takes
You away from the highways as much as possible oh sometimes I have to walk short distances along the highway um but usually there’s a detour usually I pass through small little roads between Villages like this one this part is noisy but soon it will get quieter once I turn right can you hear
That I’m arriving at the monastery but they might all be busy busy at the mess I’ll try [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Anyway okay what can I say on the one hand so here here is the monastery the gate on the one hand I was lucky because just as I arrived another person arrived and this is like a handyman at the monastery and uh uh well but he he was
At a loss and he he couldn’t answer and he couldn’t give a positive or A negative answer he was confused and he went to he went that way with my bottles of water uh to to ask uh but he he might just uh not I don’t know so we’ll see if I’m lucky
But uh I’m already at peace with the idea that I’m not well okay okay no luck no luck this okay there was another man you know I wonder what would what would have changed if I talked to a woman so they took 20 minutes of my time
To give me 3 L of water because first time they brought me like 3/3 of each bottle and then uh I don’t know what took them so long the second time and so okay now I’m walking it’s too late I could have used this 20 minutes to find
A place now it’s getting dark but I still hope they give me a medal with Virgin Mary and uh so I hope it helps they told me that it was protection so I really need some right [Applause] now okay here’s the tent it’s set it’s probably the worst place I’ve had so
Far I’m uh right on the road in a forest uh it doesn’t look very popular so I really hope that no one will come till tomorrow oh yeah so uh well I just need to survive till the morning okay good night
A human invaded my morning for the first time this week. Everyone survived. Getting through river flood right on the way, magnificent Breton forests, the temples of Quimperle, and a hostile monastery which didn’t give roof to a pilgrim.
