Left Burgos via Monastery of Las Huegas. Today was a perfect day for cycling - on the Meseta Plain which is between 800m and 1000m. Easy terrain, gentle climbs, excellent views, and lots of stationery wind turbines - good news - no head wind! Pleasant morning coffee stop where John lost a cycling mitt, we think to a passing dog. Before lunch our cycling route converged with the walking route and we met and passed lots of pilgrims as we exchanged the greetings "Buen Camino" or "Hola".
Lunch venue was shared with a coach load of German pilgrims (doing Lourdes, Santiago, Fatima, etc) and they were interested in our trip and our Pilgrim Passports. In the afternoon we went to a small village, looked at the Church and the Auburgue for an ice-cream. Who else was there but Robert from Wiltshire - see blog for yesterday. Stayed in a Hostal in Fromista and had evening meal in the square.
52miles - total 317

Glad to see Tony G upholding the fortyplus set-in-stone tradition --- 'chips with everything'
ReplyDeleteLooks brilliant (the trip, not the chips) Kev
