Stopped at a place called Boltana and stayed at the only campsite there, the guy that owned the campsite also owned the local shop onsite and gave me food and didn't charge for that evening to camp.
There isn't much excitement going on as its the end of season.
Walked to a place called Broto. Weather wasn't on my side but I kept putting one foot in front of the other. The walk was quite challenging today. I had to walk up a very steep hill in order to get back down to the valley below.
Woke up to a rainy day, it poured and poured! So i decided to have the day off.
WOW! I am now over the boarder and into Spain :-) I was quite disappointed at the fact that there was no control when i got there. All the windows were broken in the booths and everywhere was quite messy.
I climbed 2600 meters, which was approx 7000 feet. It was absolutely freezing at the top!
Stayed in a place called Escarra which was near El Fonnigal at a campsite called Escarra, ( nothing very exiting )
Had a live interview with BBC3 Countys Radio at 8:45am, thanks to Simon Carter (Scouts) I am told this is already on the blog thanks to my brother Mike.
Today was a good day, saw my first sign that said 20 miles to Spain (yippy). OMG I spoke to soon, it was a 18 mile up hill struggle, but I managed to do it with gritted teeth! :-)
Walked apporx 25 miles to a village called Laruns, where I found a hostel for the night, a well deserved sleep! Tomorrow is a big day for me I will be crossing the boarder.
