Today is a lot brighter, and after a slow start Mr Sun really came out to play...
I met a chap who arrived late night from down in the South of Spain - it was too HOT for him !!,and as he neared Potes, coming over the mountain pass got stuck in a snow drift !!!
Eventually he was rescued by the only other motorist on the road, and managed to make his way to the campsite.He's been here before,from Lancaster, and seems a mine of information - which I'll take advantage of...
I've had a walk into the nearby village of Potes, which was very quiet, although I can imagine in high summer will be very busy with 'tourists'
where i got the obligatory bread and local cheese,along with some climbing maps, back to Wally for quick lunch, then on the road bike for a 5 mile climb out of Potes, along the Road towards Fuente De...and a really fast ! return for shower, and tidy up.
The views of the surrounding mountains keep opening up,so hoping to get higher as the time progresses....
All in all a good day, so will celebrate with meal at the site restaurant, which looks OK !
Q What's the mystery object....
found in Wally ??,answers on the blog...

It must be a roller for 'curly' hair ! Glad you enjoyed your first day. The town of Potes looks interesting, light a candle when you visit the church!
ReplyDeleteCould it be the famous hair dye?
