After the GR11...

I am heading down to Barcelona for a few days for some r&r.

I fly back to Newcastle on Wednesday 23rd July.

After encountering snow, ice, hail, fog, mist, wind and rain we now have blue skies and temperatures in the 30s - which is nice but not with 12kg on your back climbing up 1000m! Anyone considering walking in Catalunya during August will have to look at how to keep cool. We were getting up at 5.30 to start walking by 6 as the sun came up. Walking after 2pm is difficult and the storms start around 3pm. By storms I mean BIG STORMS - thunder, lightening and heavy rain. Not the ideal weather for camping!

Anyway. I will put more detailed info on the site when I get some time in the near future.
