Day 16 - Ledigos

Well I´m past half way! only another 370 odd km to go.

To expand on the ice story. I´m now walking with in a group of 5. Two Austrians, a German, a French and me. We decided it would be a fun experience to camp out in a field just after Villafranca Montes de Orca. So we bought a bottle of wine (for a whole €3) some chocolate and some bread and found a nice field full of straw.

All was good until we woke up very cold and wet (dew - which we were expecting) at 5am. We pulled out our emergancy blankets and that kept us warm till the sun arrived, but it was then that we noticed that there was frost on our bags and sleeping mats.

We also had a visit from a farmer early the next morning telling us we needed permission to camp there, he gave up after he realised none of us spoke spanish, and those of us who did, didn´t at that hour anyway.

Anyway, there is a spanish man sitting next to me gruntting, which i think means that once i´ve finished trying to track down a rather large missing payment on online banking, my time is up.
