During World War II tens of thousands of people escaped Nazi occupied Europe by taking a hazardous and often gruelling trek over the Pyrenees Mountains from France to Spain. Edward Stourton is following in their footsteps along the Freedom Trail. It's day three, the halfway point of his walk, but the worst is yet to come.
