Rocky Mountain High

Pamplona to Puente la Reina
Day 6 - 24km

Early start this morning as it was going to be very hot again today. We set off at 6.30am, after a little hiccup as we had left the poles in our room! 🙄However we managed to break into the lockbox to retrieve the keys. 😏 ( Meghan did it…😅) Walking in the dark for the first hour was nice and seeing the sunrise was a bonus. 🌞
We walked through beautiful countryside, with a steep climb, but we were rewarded with amazing views and the pilgrim statues at the top. Looking back over Pamplona was rewarding.
We were feeling quite smug about ourselves around 10am after walking 10km, but still didn’t arrive until 2pm! It was a hard slog for the final 5 km in the heat. We were very grateful for a nice cold shower, a rest and a beer. Looking forward to exploring the town and a good pilgrims meal. 💕Read more
