Where's Bertie? He's back in Laredo, in the same side road/car park as he was in at the end of last week.
Weather: glorious!
The weather forecast once again held true and we awoke to clear blue skies...
...meaning it was no hardship to don the walking shoes and head off up a hill.
The walk (you can read more about it/see more photos by clicking here ) wasn't anywhere near as interesting or pleasing as our trip up Peña del Moro on Sunday, but it stretched the legs and did give us a good vantage point to see where we had been on that outing:
Our arrival back at the Aire coincided with the departure of our German neighbours, who left behind them an electric point that would remain active until late this evening. We thus helped ourselves to a bit of their left over power and by the time we left a few hours later we had cooked lunch on the electric ring, filled our flasks with boiling water and recharged a few devices. Unfortunately, we forgot that I was supposed to be cutting Mick's hair. Who knows whether we'll find mains electricity again on this trip?
We had pondered staying in Lanestosa for another night. We also pondered taking the direct route over the hills to our next intended stopping point. We did neither, opting instead to add a few miles to the journey by coming via Laredo, mainly because it's such a good (i.e. flat and off-road) place to go for a run in the morning.
We would likely stay another couple of days, but there's a spell of *very* wet weather coming in at the end of the week, so it seems more expedient to go and look at some new places whilst the weather is good, so we will make an effort to run early in the morning, and continue on westwards.
