Day 98                                            25th October<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

27miles (around El Palmar) Average speed 8.8 mph top speed 22 mph
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I left the  campsite after brekkie of magdelenas and Fanta and headed towards Conil de la Frontera but the beach road ran out at a river so I had to go back and get on the main road.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(Ermintrude: this website http:\/\/www.vejerdelafrontera.co.uk\/beaches.html<\/a> gives an overview of this coast and an idea of how far the beach road runs.)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Torre Nueva El Palmar. This tower stands in the centre of the beach at El Palmar<\/p><\/div>\n

Eventually found a bank and bought lunch and tomorrow’s brekkie. Looked around town and had a coffee then followed beach path to the river I couldn’t cross earlier. It was very sandy and hard on the legs. Mountain bikes were OK but tough in my thin tyres. I thought there was a road back to main road but I found myself back at the river I had avoided earlier. A Dutch couple showed me the way to cross it and I carried bike across up to my shorts in the water. Great fun and I took photos of them and vice versa. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Headed back to campsite for lunch with some cats.(Ermintrude: Is this jive talkin’ or were they real cats?)<\/em><\/strong> Then to garage for air and on road back to beach I found some great firewood at a rubbish site. Then a few hours on the beach watching surfers and back for pasta dinner cooked with good dry firewood.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
