The weather in Spain has not been very good for the last two weeks and this week it has been wretched; cold, wind and rain. The weather map does not show any sun anywhere in the Iberian peninsula. My progress has been slower than I would like. Only 38 km in the last 3 days. Friday I walked 18 km from Burgos to Hornillos del Camino, the last 8 km into a 40 to 50 km headwind with rain. Yesterday I pulled myself off the road after only 10 km as my boots were soaked completely through and the next stop was another 10 km. Today also only 10 km but part of that is positioning. It is not just a matter of how far you can go but also that there will be a place to stay when you get there, particularly in bad weather. This weather pattern is due to break in a day or two so I hope when you get here it will again be sunny Spain.
Today I passed the 300 km mark, So even if I am behind my plan it is still something. And plans are made to be adjusted according to conditions.
