Walking back to happiness

It is some time since I had Internet access so I will have to fill in where I have been. Walking at great speed 29 miles in 7 and a half hours to Torradillos the half way point. Then again next day to Reliegos nearly 8 hours and nearly 28 miles at the end my hands were swollen! Both these sections were flat and somewhat soulless stretches by the main road. The routine of arriving, hoping the hostel isn't full, washing and drying clothes and getting something to eat before an early night comes round again. Blessed by fine and warm days if a little chilly in the mornings. New people each day are met and some familiar faces I am catching up walking much further than most. The disadvantage of not running is it takes so much longer!
