Good evening,
Off to a good start at 8am today and covered 325miles…. Gertie was OK but I missed a turn and we did a bit of toll motorway… to Malaga – what a aweful place – just like a very large building site going on for miles and miles…. Poor Malaga what have they done to you – I was last there in 1974 and it was small – now it is huge and dreaful….. best stay away from that…
So we rode the death road A7 to Malaga and then turned north to rejoin our original route….. and what a route is was - riding along the edge of the Sierra Navada and right to the top…. The A402 to Granada and then A348… twisty is very much an under statement…. Hell I would call it….. up and up and up and up….. by the way the camp site is at 1140m above sea level …. and full of noisy kids and not enough wardens for my liking…..
Rui has managed to get his tyre fixed and is now at base camp 6 and apparently has booked in to one of the posh cabin for two nights !!!!! Camping not good enough huh !!!
Tomorrow we are going to try to go into the National Park de Sierra Nevada and save a few miles and then rejoin the route on the A92 going North…
It is 9.30 and we are both having a quiet beer while the brats are having their supper…. I will write this and then go back to the tents and cook our supper before turning in for the night…..
