[mudsticks]

To coin a monty python phrase, you lucky lucky Bearsted, Result

Yup

If its any consolation, I do appreciate just how lucky I am..

Maybe that's why the luck keeps on coming ??

Or is that just some kind of bwstd magical thinking, cosmic hogwash

Helpless but hopeful so I’m sending cyber hugs. Try and see the pozos and enjoy what’s left of the adventure.

@mudsticks I'm so glad you made it!
That was a thrilling read!

Thank you..

Don't worry I'm one of those annoying people that will try to see the positive..
Or at least the laugh in most situations.

Even if it does result in some off colour humour, from time to time.

I'm in the hands of the Weather Goddess, and the driver of the boat now..

Got all my soggy stuff laid out in the cafeteria to dry .. It was ridiculously wet while we were boarding.

Me, and the only other nut-job cyclist, may as well have swum to the ship by the time we got onto the car deck

Glad you found it entertaining Pat

The adventures of the hapless, but hopeful cycle tourist..

Seems like someone was looking out for me

 

[graham bowers]

Glad it turned out well!

Are you catching a rowing boat home with the Salty Seadog?

 

[C R]

All's well that ends well.

Btw, where did you get to in your travels?

Are you catching a rowing boat home with the Salty Seadog?

Of course.

But you mustn't be jealous.

And besides I'm making him do most of the rowing..

While I'm busy posting photos,

Of beach babes.

I got to western Galicia.

About 600km wiggly route.

Very nice, and met lots of lovely people along the way

Yep, love the place, though tends to be a bit wet.

I grew up near Santiago.

It reminds me of Devon in many ways...

Santander achieved..

The sea looks a trifle bumpy tho.

Thanks for all the moral (and practical) support

A couple of wave calming spells in order now, methinks.

But in a separate stroke of luck, just run into some 500 yd away neighbours, on their way back from Portugal, who can probs give me and my bike a lift back to the farm.

Serendipity strikes again

Coo, I was right there just the other week. Mind you it was 25 degrees and sunny though.

 

[mudsticks]

I even went to a (quality) folk night, held at the ruined monesterio mear Monfero, named for the local grelos turnip.. How 'country stylee' is that ??

And I got the t-shirt

I think a few folks have done a double take, and assumed some other kind of 'erbal leaf

Yes it was hot when I set out from here a couple of weeks back.

Still got a bit of a shorts tan..

But somehow it's easier to leave when it's pishing down
