Up over a 1964m pass today and then dropping down into La Mira for a very welcomed wash in a river.

Left Isaba early and headed along a track close to the river for most of the way to Zuriza campsite.

Let Hiriberri early as the warnings were that today would be extra hot

Today's walking was gentle mainly along tracks and through woodland.

Today I had my first wobble on top of a hill in the heavy fog.

I posted 5kg of stuff back to The NL today.

Today started with a steep climb up to the top of the local hilltop adorned in pray flags and marked monuments.

A hot sweaty introduction to life on the road, hiking through the rolling hills of the Basque Country.

not knowing what laid ahead nor whether I was fit and able enough to complete the whole trek.
