Update on the 26th later on
Yesterday was considerably uneventful as i ran to a campsite 260km south of madrid, nothing of interest until i met a man in the bar. None of the people here spoke anything but spanish and even soured when i asked if they spoke french! One guy insisted i got to know everything about his little bike which was a pityful little thing but he was incredibly proud of it! Nice he was happy and goes to put me in my place! Today i raised my miserable head in a bad mood at 930 and packed and left at 1015 knowing i was already late for what was going to be a long run to the pairofknees. While the sun shone, the mood in the petrol stations and lunchtime cafe were predictably dark! As i approached the pyrenees, i saw dark clouds and wondered if i could beat them to france. Nope. Changing into wet weather gear in a petrol station and two spanish motorcycle cops pulled in. Please dont look at the 2mm of tread on my back wheel! I got away and slowly pitched through the mountains in the rain. Heading for the second campsite dave had told me about. It was closed, he was only 50% right! Wait till i see him next time! So into a hotel for 32 euros which gives a great opportunity to dry out and ironically has the most fantastic shower! Nice nosh too so not a bad deal, especially since the french know how to smile! Night all …x
