Summary

With a need to up their mileage, Steve has set a target of 15.45 miles a day to get to Santiago. They take regular breaks for coffee and beer on the way and recently saw this charming mobile bar. 

 

 

The weather hasn't been great for the past few days, though they have by and large avoided any substantial rainfall. This reduces their opportunities for longer views, though a clearing cloud revealed this on Saturday. 

 

 

While often hiking alongside one another, Emma's pace often takes her ahead of Steve, hence regular shots of Emma powering ahead.

I left you about 60-odd miles ago in Nagera. We've

had four days since then, and it's been quite a great time. The weather hasn't been great.

1:39.7

We've lost a lot of these lovely viewers because of the cloud and the mist all over.

1:57.4

Almost the mugginess of the morning as the mist is all around you. You hear birds really, really making a heck of a noise. You hear the odd dog
