Exeter airport
20. April 2025 in England ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
Small. Apparently compulsory to smoke next to the no smoking signs rather than walk 10 yards to the designated smoking area. And streams of effing and blinding too.
Another highlight. Chap inWeiterlesen
Sierra Espuna
21. April 2025 in Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
First walk. Meant to be 10.5 miles but somehow turned into 13. And we cut out the hard bit. But too long for first time out. Pretty without being spectacular. Lots of flowers, some cultivated fruitWeiterlesen

Walk to Gebas and back
22. April 2025 in Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Walk about 7.5 miles through woods over hill to village of Gebas. Care shut and not much else there. Some tricky sections of path on way back as path was old water channel and 1-2 places had steepWeiterlesen

Alarcon
23. April 2025 in Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Another fantastic fortified clifftop village set on a loop of the river. Local artist painted many murals, including a lot of cats, all over town, a la Banksy (but before Bansky i think).

Segobria choclate success
24. April 2025 in Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Driving along an unexpected road (due to C inputting the wrong town into Satnav) and spotted signs to Segobria Archaeological site. So stopped in for a quick look - Old Roman capital with someWeiterlesen
Cuenca
24. April 2025 in Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
As with many towns in this region, Cuenca is built on a rocky outcrop over the river. Some remarkable overhanging buildings and views. And an interesting bridge with slightly uncomfortably lowerWeiterlesen
Serrania de Cuenca
25. April 2025 in Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
One of the best. Superb walk, scenery, route and scores of vultures. Top rated. From the village of Una, only 6.5 miles but an outstanding walk. The route heads up a canyon, around the rim, pastWeiterlesen
Vulture view
25. April 2025 in Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
Vulture point. Part of the serrania de Cuenca walk from Una. Amazing scenery and fantastic viewpoint on rock overlooking vulture roosts.

Red Canyon - mind the explosives
26. April 2025 in Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
We tried to find this 2 years ago, but failed. Found it this time. Decent walk but not top draw. 1 section punctuated by several signs warning of explosive ordinance left over from Battle of Teruel inWeiterlesen
Morella or less
26. April 2025 in Spanien ⋅ 🌬 16 °C
Yet another spectacular Spanish fortified hill town. Didn't quite get the vibe of some other places but may merit a return. Quite touristy, but well preserved with a hill top castle (closed), greatWeiterlesen
Tarragona, not Siberia
27. April 2025 in Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
C decided Tarragona was a place to stop en route to BCN. One , thought, Tarragona, deemed as an acceptable herb, comes from here so food might be ok. Turns out Tarragon is from Siberia.
Romans wereWeiterlesen
It's all gone Brest up

Our flight from BCN was 2 hours late, but that is a major improvement on the rest of the group who had their flight cancelled. They will fly tomorrow from LGW to Nantes. We had private transfer on 65Weiterlesen
Concarneau
29. April 2025 in Frankreich ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

Ocean Nova. Doh!
30. April 2025 in England ⋅ 🌬 13 °C
Ocean Nova was anchored near us off Tresco. On return from our Tresco excursion we noticed she appeared to be listing. As tide went out it became apparent that she was aground. Ran her engines andWeiterlesen

An upright gentleman
30. April 2025 in England ⋅ 🌬 14 °C
Two in fact. The unusual wide gravestone in St Mary's old church graveyard is because the gentleman in question was buried upright! He wanted to keep an eye on his lady friend across the bay so theWeiterlesen
