The morning was absolutely magnificent, clear skies and that after the rain clean smell to the air. We started on flat land, walking through wooded paths and farmland. The path started to go through a few rolling pastures.
But oh boy! If we thought the last of the mountains was behind us, we were wrong. Hills of 300 – 400 metres on well maintained paths were testing.
But the big one was 900 metres, straight over the top and down the other side. This path consisted of loose stones and shale and times was nothing more than a storm washout. Sorry no photos of this as we were to busy concentrating on staying upright. We had to use muscles that we thought had long ago gone into retirement. Anyway we made it to Zubiri after 7.5 hours, and a good days walk.
