Go south they said. It’ll be warm and dry they said.
Go south they said. It’ll be warm and dry they said.
Wind and rain go away.
Wind and rain gone away.
Iain had the choice of all weather waterproof shoes. What did he choose instead?
A calm river crossing is not calm today.
Fiona decided against fording the river.
Traffic jam, Portuguese style.
The spring lambs are enjoying the spring grass!
The olive harvest is in full flow.
Flat water, clear skies.
The river is full is debris.
Technology is fully deployed for the Vendee start.
Pip looking good and looking at home.
See you soon Pip only 28,000 miles to go.
One final kiss goodbye.
Oh no not more of the dampness.
The road is long.
After the cycle we take on the hike.
Ancient megaliths.
Iain ties to play hide and seek.
The water courses are almost deep enough to swim in.
The start of 10km’s, all downhill.
Hey hey Pincoya.
Ruffian and her reflection.
The deck scraping starts again.
The churches in Alcoutim are bathed in halo’s.
Where has the river gone?
Heading up the river where the water is flatter.
As far as navigation allows.
Which way is up? Nothing stirs the surface, breaks the silence or lightens the sky.
