We were happy to leave our overcrowded unheated albergue and all the snorers but were not happy to encounter rain after a few kilometres. The gentle rain turned into steady rain after a few more kms and we were very happy to finally find a cafe after 8kms.

Nightmare!! There was lots ...

Uneventful short (well shortish) ride to Ron's place.
Ron is another BCF member who has invited me to stay and it was indeed a pleasure to meet him and his wife Christine.
