Another sunny day, again mid to high 20's , strenuous climbs up mountain tracks ... todays walk took me to the summit of Puerto del Palo and down and on to Pola de Allende ..... 20km of hot hard walking ..... I dare to say a lot harder than day one out of Saint Jean pied de port on the Camino Frances. Ankle seems to be OK and not a problem .... nearly 7 hours of walking as the track is rough  and steep whether going up or down, no shelter from the sun, just a slight breeze ..... was really looking forward to that beer at the conclusion of my days march. passed only about a dozen other pilgrims today .... so fairly quiet for this time of year.
