Since there is free (but slow) wifi here I feel lucky to keep in touch and write my blog. There are only spanish people here which is fine. They are all very friendly. I met the most unusual chap in the way here. David from England. With a very Eton accent. Was heading for Gibraltar because he really misses a good pub lunch. He spoke longingly about beef and "old Blighty". But he shared my nostalgia for our wonderful Ordnance Survey maps so I was really glad to meet him. Doing the GR7 like me but going east to west. And like me he couldn't pass so close to the mountains without going up them.
In retrospect, heading west in the morning would be a better idea. I have found my sun visor an essential piece of kit as the sun has been directly in my face first thing most mornings. But there you go. In fact, the kit i have with me has all been useful except the spare pair of trousers (but it has been exceptionally hot) and the extra fleece which I call a windproof coat. And yes Andrew you can say i told you so... Supper is being served at about 8.30 I think. It isn't very clear to me but it just seems late!
