Sunday 31st May   ????

This is the blogmaster, Mdme. Sageomme

Due to stupidity, my phone has run out of money and I can only get more cash on it tomorrow morning.   So, I have no idea where our Pilgrim is.   His phone may also have run out of juice and he has no charger ...... I may retrieve a message tomorrow when I have sorted my phone or I may not!      What a pair of techno incompetents! 

Nick Cornwall is hoping to meet up with the Pilgrim at Bourgos on Thursday.  If there  is no more phone contact until then, we shall have to be patient and await further info.

 

Saturday 30th May Monreal

Now at Monreal, just short of Pamplona. Frustrating day. Very Hot. Vultures circling......

Friday 29th May Sanguesa

Now in Sanguesa. Hot day - 50 miles. Wonderful 11C church, weird desserted Village.
Going well.


Nick's now down to one bibble on his phone so posts may soon cease! His phone charger went along with the reading glasses, camera etc. in the Toulouse heist. There are few phone shops apparently but I'm sure he'll just get a new one when he can.

Nick Cornwall is planning to join him in Bourgos on 4th June (if he can get to Stansted at 5.00 am - with bike, get bike onto Ryan Air, get train from Bilbao to Bourgos - but Nick is keen as mustard and sure he can do it!) Nick will take out replacement charger and new reading glasses ........

Thursday continued:

Well, it was a breeze swooping down into Spain. 35mph for the first 8 miles. Lunch in Jaca. Leisurely look round then on 12 miles to Sta Cilia. Fab alburgue with tumble dryer so big clothes wash.

Thursday 28th May 2.00 pm

I DID IT !!! Climbed up very big mountain very slowly - 4 hours climb. Now sitting in Spain with a cafe cortado looking DOWN on the snow.
Downhill all the way now.

Wednesday 27 May Borce

Just made it to Borce 6.45 pm and a bed in the gite - I think I would have cried if full. Some very large mountains looming and I have to cycle over them romorrow. Shower, food then bed ....
