Searching for water is a constant occupation. Especially when it’s about 30 degrees Celsius.

4 A Day Picture Diary

Where? Roncesvalles to Zubiri.

A journey down through the foothills of the Pyrenees. A combination of delightful woodland paths, farmland and a horrible descent over broken bedrock down into Zubiri.

What? Here’s a picture of one of the broken rock paths.

Some of the chatter talks about it being an ‘ankle snapper’. They weren’t joking.

I’m exceptionally grateful we did it during dry weather, even if it was stinking hot.

The rest of it is delightful though.

Who? A picture of David who runs the El Dragon Peregrino, taverna and pizzeria. David makes the beer and the pizza.

BeerIt should be obligatory for ever Welsh Peregrino to visit David.

Why? Why you really shouldn’t worry about loosing your way.

Yellow arrows are literally everywhere. Carefully pointing the way, particularly in urban areas.

Here’s a view of the moon I took at 2.45am. Staying in an amazing place on the outskirts of Zubiri.

      Thank you Paul.
      Working of the phone is taking a bit more effort than a laptop or tablet but I’m so glad I didn’t carry anything extra.
      Also, trying to distil things down into 4 pictures that tell a story is helpful, but also takes a bit of effort.
      Pamplona is a great place to have finished this stage of the journey at.
      Bus to Bilbao now.
      Thanks
      Chris
