Wednesday 19th May
I'd decided to reward myself after the hot day I had before,and so lay in bed, waking around 8 a.m., and lay there watching the sun burn the clouds off the nearby hill tops...
it's a tough life but someone's gotta do it !
I thought the day would dissapear with me doing lots of nothing,
until late afternoon when I decided I would find a gentle road to ride along, and look at the local scenery !!
As I've said before, there's no such thing as gentle road in Spain - not in the mountains anyway... I set off from the campsite,through the village of Arenas de Cabrales, along the main road, which steadily climbed into the distance, passing a 'Picturepoint' where in the distance could be seen the imposing sight of Naranjo de Bulnes, one of the famed sights of the Picos (and one which I intended seeing at close quarters)up and up went the road, then started winding back on itself...always a sign of never ending steep hills...not to be dissapointed I carried on, ever upwards, until an hour late, and still the road climbed....
enough I decided, turned round and took the swift (very swift) ride back to the campsite !!
I spent the rest of the day sorting out which walks I was doing in the area !
