#Day157 Initial distance achieved! SO HAPPY
Pulpi to Garrucha– 28km 18C Terrain: roads The initial distance I was due to cover in this challenge was 3,370km (prior to route changes which have added about 500 km). I’ve done it! Wooooohooooo! I set out to cover that distance and today, I crossed the 3,370km line, I simply can’t believe it and am […] Read More
#Day156 More beauty
Lorca to Pulpi – 31km 15C Terrain: roads and off-road I found myself in beautiful landscapes right from the beginning today and it just continued all of the way. It was a bit warmer also which was nice and no rain, yippee! Legs felt a little weary today, I think they’re getting ahead of themselves […] Read More
#Day155 Close call
Alhama de Murcia to Lorca – 35km 10C Terrain: roads I’ve increased my elevation over the past couple of days, only by about 300 meters but it just means that it’s a little chillier up here. A bit of rain too but nothing too dramatic. It’s nice at the moment because the roads are quite […] Read More
#Day154 Thoroughly spoilt and happy
Murcia to Alhama de Murcia – 33km 15C Terrain: roads I spent the most wonderful couple of nights with my amazing friends Livs who so kindly flew out to see me. Not only that but she really treated me and was so generous. The spa we went to was wonderful, all natural water with minerals […] Read More
#Day152 Hilarious and excited
Abanilla to Murcia – 28km 18C Terrain: roads I think I stayed in a Spanish version of Fawlty Towers last night. A few highlights: room not ready so what appeared to be family and friends all scurried off with cleaning products (at least I knew the room was clean!), the room key not working (too […] Read More
#Day151 Adventure
Pinoso to Abanilla – 31km 18C Terrain: roads and serious off-road Today was a day of adventures. Started out pretty well making faster progress than I’ve made in a while so was feeling pretty chuffed with myself. The scenery for all of today was simply stunning. Vast planes between mountains then rolling green hills followed […] Read More
#Day150 Lost for words
Yecla to Pinoso – 30km 9C (-1C to start!) Terrain: roads Wow, 150 days, who’d have thought. Not all on the move (includes rest days) but that’s how long this challenge has been going so far. I still can’t believe I’m actually doing it some days, it’s so far removed from anything I’ve done previously […] Read More
#Day149 Climbing
La Font de la Figuera to Yecla – 34km 9C Terrain: roads and offroad Today was tough and I was a little surprised at the amount of climbing I ended up doing! Heyho. I felt like I dug into some mental reserves today. I went through a place about half way and was genuinely tempted […] Read More
