Tony, Tim, Betsy & Ray's (not forgetting Geoff) 2014 Camino

GR65 (France), GR11 & Camino del Norte (Spain)

21.06.14

21.06.14 Saturday Castro-Urdiales to Laredo. The pool was great. The temperature dropped at 2000 when the thunderstorm started, very welcome rain even by us. It had another half hour at 2am and then the occluded front that had been sitting along the north spain coast drifted off. Today started cool but very humid with cloud and low mist, and took till ten to start to warm up. By 3pm we are on a full campsite in Laredo hopefully it will quiet dlown tonight but it is Saturday. We got given a bottle of wine by the campsite.. ? Why? But will help sleep. More Griphon vultures today spiralling up from the limestone mountains above us. At one point we follow the yellow arrows to a place near Liendo where a sizeable stream disappears below ground, it may well emerge again under the sea. Tomorrow a ride on another little ferry to cut off 15km. A good day if mostly on tarmac 26.5km less than 900m up a down. Some impressive bits of limestone
