Walked 27 km today with a very steep downhill section, which my right knee decided it didn't like. 😕
A lot of the walk was through beautiful forest paths.

I'm happy to report that my knee didn't give me much trouble today. Of course there were no brutal downhill sections to walk, so that helped. And the fact that it was only about a ten mile walk today.

A mostly great day for walking weather wise. Clear and cool. It clouded up a bit at the end, abd I felt a few sprinkles. I entered into La Rioja today, which is famous for its wines.
