Good signal?

It is very rare not to be able to get a signal in the mountains. However, there are times when I get a text from EE telling me that I am in France. I presume this is because I have been walking so close to the Spanish border. Today we walked above 2000 metres on one of my favourite walks. It cannot be done in the winter because of the snow and, in high summer, it is too hot as the walk is very exposed. The views are amazing as are the wildflowers. I often see vultures flying overhead, but today I only saw one. We walked up to the Pic des Très Estelles. Half the group descended from the first peak. The other half of the group joined me to do all three of the peaks which involved two short, steep climbs and a steep descent off piste. In all we did 500 metres of climbing and eight and a half kilometres on rocky paths and over difficult terrain
