Logrono to Santo Domingo de Calzada

Coxy. The good samaritan

Again no joy for Steve K in the Lograno bike shops for the part to fix his gears. Steve has to battle on in a single gear for yet another day. This means he walks up the hills a lot and makes the whole ride ten times tougher. The search for the spare part moves …

Puente La Reina to Lograno

On route to Los Arcos

This was an easy day for the lads. Not so for me in the van. Priority was to find a bike shop for Steve. Easy with Sat Nav except Estella is a big town… one ways, etc. But the Sat Nav plonked me just 100 yards from the bike shop. Great! Just enough time to …

Burgette to Puente La Reina

Leaving Burgette

An easy day… that’s what they told me. So, as the driver I decide to head straight for the end of this section. And indeed for me it was easy. Sat Nav on, female voice keeping me on the straight and narrow, I arrive in Puente La Reina after just over an hour. Two more …

St Jean Pied de Port to Auritz (Burgette)

The Team at the start

Just an 18 mile hop today for the lads. So, no need to start until 1.00pm. Just a couple of issues with that. The first 12 miles are a climb to 4,600 ft. The toughest ascent on Camino and this was day one. And at 1 o’clock on the France / Spain border the sun …

Biarritz to St Jean Pied de Port

Billy tucks in to Mince and Gristle

To get to the Camino start point the lads cycled the 35 miles from the Airport while Browny drove the van. First time on his on own. Thank God for Sat Nav. Fairly uneventful cycle ride for the lads and a good warm-up. The start caused a bit of a stir at the airport as …
