After looking into a way to send one of my backpacks ahead of me and finding no clear solution on a Sunday, I walked from Le-Puy-En-Valey to Saint-Privat-D'Allier with too much stuff just like the beginning of the Appalachian Trail. To make matters a bit worse, I briefly went in a circle at the beginning meaning I had to climb the same long, very steep hill twice. I had chosen a road with a Compostelle shuttle stop when I should have kept climbing the hill. So...that was fun.
If I cannot fix the problem of too much weight tonight, I will take a shuttle to the next town I make a reservation in because walking with this much stuff on roads and gravel paths is too hard on my malformed feet. My back needs to be kneaded thoroughly tonight if possible to make up for what I did to it today. The views along the way were spectacular and the ancient stone buildings, gorgeous. Now I am lying in bed and putting my feet up. It's been a long day.
