Day 2 - Friday 9th May

Another cold day with some rain, and as Jo and Ann crossed into Spain the weather closed in on them. Being the Spartan couple that they are they were walking in shorts and cagoules, whilst others were buttoned up to the neck in waterproofs and leggings. A group of Germans walkers thought that they must be super fit to be walking in their shorts!

They walked on beyond Roncesvalles, the planned stop for the night, to the village of Burgete, about 12.5 miles for the day. The refugio was full when they arrived so they settled for a B&B and a room of their own, so are hoping for a better nights sleep.

Planning to do slightly longer tomorrow and after that stepping up the distance once they get into their stride. No reports of blisters or other problems so far.

Weather forecast for tomorrow is wet but after that it looks better. Both sounded very cheerful and upbeat on the phone.

17.5 miles completed - 468.75 miles to go
