8 november 2023, England ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
Met up with Caroline in the terminal, the excitement mounting. Until we got to check in and Ryan air announced that we(at least C) weren't going anywhere today as passport more than 10 years old. Ah. Plan B. To Chester to collect a painting and a night on the town.Läs mer

Plan B , part 1.
8 november 2023, England
Collected DJ and found Air BnB. Wandered round town looking for restaurant. They are all Italian. Pretty much every one. Still decent.

Forgot to check the clocktower. Story is it only has three faces, North, east and south as earl of Chester wouldn't give the time of day to the WelshLäs mer

Monarchs way
9 november 2023, England ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
Plan B. Monarchs Way wombourne to Oaken. Drove to Oaken then called local taxi firms for taxi to Wombourne. All too busy, none could help, to inspiration -try Uber even though we are seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Bingo. Habib just happened to be passing. £12. I love Uber.

Was expecting a flat bit on old railway line then very muddy fields and lots of country lanes. But after the railway the path was across farmland which was surprisingly un-muddy with 1-2 notable exceptions.

Fantastic graffiti under road bridge, unusual large herd of black and white horses and a disused airfield were notable.Läs mer

Newport
10 november 2023, Wales ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
Train to Newport. Rain started hammering down as we got into car last night. And stopped as we stepped out to walk to station this morning.

Caroline new passport all good and on time. Very efficient.

Barbers in Newport not so good. I found 4. 1 hair salon, 1 stylist. No good. A guy with big beard, braces and tatts wanted £27, and another guy who wasn't in his shop at all but came back after 5 minutes told me he didn't do "quick cuts". No one wants my money, at least the amount I am prepared to fork out. Barber of somewhere near Seville it is.

And then train cancelled,😞😡🤬Läs mer

Dag 3
Bristol Airport.
10 november 2023, England ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
Bus from Bristol took 65+ minutes. Lots of people getting off and walking, some missed flights. Lots of road works, no warning from airport or Airline. Ridiculous.

Lots of building work at airport, new car park and transport hub. But useless if cars can't get here.

Highlight was 2 girls shouting at Easyjet ground staff. I'm going to take this to the top. Mum works for an Ambassador and my dad is. A multi millionaire!.
Done up like cheap tarts, you would never know. Apparently had been refused boarding due to inebriation.
They left in a huff and went to the nearest bar.Läs mer

Disappointing - Alcala del Jucar.
11 november 2023, Spanien ⋅ 🌬 17 °C
We had booked 2 night in a hotel here looking down on the village but the hotel called us to say sorry but room not available. Phew. Village very disappointing. Coach tours, all set menus 19 Euros, lots of day trippers and village not nearly as pretty as it could/should be.Läs mer

La Ermita
11 november 2023, Spanien ⋅ 🌬 18 °C
Small village, very clean functional accommodation and very friendly and simple bar/cafe. Just a kilometer or so from the much more attractive Chulilla.

Rias from Requena very spectacular, and closed. Involved 1.5 hours detour.Läs mer

What have the Romans done for us?
12 november 2023, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
A walk based on All Trails "Called, Chelva, Pena Cortada. " walk. Lovely start along the river , Chelva is prettier from a distance than inside, but with some impressive old walls and water channels. Coke and ice cream available.

Walk on through a few farms and olive groves to Pena Cortada, Roman Aqueduct and channel cut into rock that now forms part of a very unusual footpath. Cross the Aqueduct and through the tunnels - some with windows on the gorge. We took a diversion that followed a path through the woods and through a bizarre almost spiral cave en route back to Calle. Although it is known the Romans built the Aqueduct in the 1st century, no one knows why.Läs mer

Very pretty gorge walk, lovely autumn colours and a climb up to a dam. A few rope danglers and a couple of via ferrata opportunities, as well as a lone ibex spying on us from the top of the gorge.

Sponge Bobs, Rocky and the Flintstones
14 november 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
A walk that started almost immediately as spectacular and got better and better for 2 hours. Big gorge, but mostly forested and with fantastic rock formations.

Near the top of the gorge there was a carpark where many wirey people were carrying round large square sponge mats. With so many fantastic boulders around it is no surprise this is a big centre for bouldering.

A few very faded cave paintings and a top view point before a much more functional path backLäs mer
