El Torcal....

[Ally]

....is stunning!!!

9 hours since I left home I've just staggered in.

The weather was gorgeous....then the higher you climbed the mistier and mistier it got.

It dropped to 13 degrees.

So we're standing in the mist looking waaaaaay down on Antequera below bathed in sunshine.

Apparently Torcal gets 180 misty days a year....the climate is so different from where we live!

We went on a guided tour for the first 3 hours as there is so much to see and learn about the wildlife...there is plenty evidence of wild boars roaming freely but we didn't see any.
Seen lots of vultures though.

After a picnic David and I done the green and yellow routes which took another 4 hours.

Off for a shower now then into town with Don for a few beers and lots and lots of food...I'm starving.

SCD is being recorded.

Another great climb notched up.

Just seen it on fb Ally, stunning is the word isn't it
13 degrees though, blimey!

You need and deserve lots and lots of food - and of course you need re-hydrating too, plenty of beer should fix that

13 degrees is a shock to my system! For the first time in months and months I had a long sleeved top on.

We were incredibly high...higher than we've been before . On the drive to where the climb began our ears popped before we'd even parked the car.

When I got home Don cheerfully told me it had been 28 degrees here.

Don't think we'd move inland any time soon.
