#Day177 A beast to start
Castello de Ferro to Salobrena – 26km 15C Terrain: roads (more hills) Blimey, that was a tough start. The ‘mountain’ was hiding behind the rocks. 3 kilometers in and I was soaked and shattered! Push through and keep going. Fortunately, that was the toughest climb of the day, phew! Spotted these mountain goats on the […] Read More
#Day176 Thinking
Adra to Castello de Ferro – 36km 19C Terrain: roads (lots of hills) After a couple of relatively flat days, today was a bit of a killer. Lots of hills and my route even ended with a particularly tough hill, ouch! I think another couple of days of this and then it’s back to the […] Read More
