Pretty flat after a pretty steep decent.

Yesterday's accommodation had an interesting way of storing walking poles that people had forgotten.

Of course we had to climb up the hill, but it was the only real one of the day.

The view from the top of the hill, we stayed the other side of that hill in the middle last night.

The border between Burgos provence and Palencia province.

A cruise on the canal looked quite enticing as the extra mile just went on and on.

Maybe it was a loch once, but doesn't look like one anymore.

The view from our bed, one of the town's 3 churches.

A Solo Walk

September 28, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

There was a huge drop in the wind today but also in the temperature, it was 3 degrees at 8am. I know it isn't southern Spain but certainly wasn't expecting these temperatures in September. Though by 9am it had shot up to 4 degrees. Although it was 5 degrees colder today it felt 10 degrees warmer with no wind and walking in the sun.

This morning Carol wasn't feel well at all, so rather than setting off and then feeling even worse in the middle of nowhere we decided it would be better for her not to walk today. So at 10am which was check out time she took a ride to Formista.

I left earlier at 08:30 to walk this leg on my own. Though in many ways I wasn't on my own, as I was soon passing lots of people we have met along the way. The one thing that was annoying was the distance for today in the guide book was almost a mile shorter than the actual distance. Not a lot really but when you've got your mind set on a certain distance that extra mile goes on for ages.

Carol was feeling a lot better when I met up with her just before 1pm. However, as a precaution. we spent the rest of the day in the room relaxing.
