Thursday 19th of July 2012,
Up bright and early, still dark outside but want as early a start as I can get. Its low 20's outside and going to make 36 later today. On my way to Sotillo de la Adrada about 18km along the highway .... but by back roads about 22km and hopefully shaded, but some hills to contend with as well .... numerous towns along this way as well. Its showing signs of daybreak so I'm off.
Made it by midday .... about 32C ... not a cloud in the sky, hot and dusty ... though most of the roads are sealed. Sorry it took so long to finish this as some problems with getting transmission.
