Day 97 24th October
33miles ( Benalup to El Palmar) Average speed 11.6 mph Top speed 93 (yeah right) mph
My clothes dried out on the aircon unit in my room
Another great day in which I avoided the rain by leaving at 1pm to miss the thunderstorms.
On my way I passed the Picadero Camargo stables who organise horse riding and trekking around the area; beautiful horses in the stables and fields.
On reaching El Palmar I discovered this :
I’m now at El Palmar on the coast where the surf is up and the dudes are doing their stuff.
(Rad) camping tonight, just to fit in but all the wood for my fire was wet so 2 hours to cook dinner. It’s great to be back under canvas and self sufficient. It’s been a while, it was almost nostalgic setting up camp. It’s a month since I blew up my bed! Another great day in paradise.
It has been a day for horses; Brian The Snail (racehorse) runs at Catterick tomorrow (25th October 2016) 1.20 race. Anyone following my website snailpacecycling.co.uk should consider a little punt. I’m going all out with a fiver. Anyone who knows my betting policy will know that this is big money.
