    Ps there are probably enough STWers in central Scotland to make a Tjreturns get together in Edinburgh worthwhile.

    Was wondering the same thing.

    Bollox its melting hot. Im on the edge of heatstroke. 2 beers did not help at all.

    You want some Aquarius in your one of your water bottles – Isotonic and like a pre made squash,get in the supermarket and it has a few calories in it, comes in lime or orange.

    A radler on a stop,lemon shandy bit of a marmite thing.

    TBH the heat and the hills/mountains are hard although I do like to have a few beers I always make sure its downhill or flat afterwards 🙂

    A german couple have just arrived on the site as the rain starts. They are on posh curly barred bikes and only have 6 panniers and one bag bag between them and the have hung a tarp as well as a tent.

    They have the wrong stereotype.

    Congratulations TJ, that is a seriously impressive achievement, though not a regular poster i’ve been following you daily and will miss these threads when you finally stop.

    We spend a week in near Estella a few years ago and are planning to go again next year. If you get chance try cycling up to the Urbasa national park you may have passed signs for it in the way from Pampalona.

    I’ve not posted much in the thread but it’s been amazing to read.

    It’s been an amazing adventure even as as mere “viewer”. Bloody well done tj, I’ll be a little gutted when the adventure ends.

    Looks wonderful.
    Have you been enjoying the heat? Just got back from a three day work trip to Bilbao where the overnight temperature in the city on Monday was 28-32 degrees C…

    Bilbao is a fab city but I kept catching glimpses of the hills and mountains that surround it: not enough time and anyway, my bikes were back in Blighty…sigh…

    Im not sure enjoying the heat is quite the thing. Ive been baked dsily but its sure nicer than rain. 30+ daytime temps for 2 months. Eyebrows are sunbleahed and im so tanned i suspect I’ll be sent to Rwanda

    2 or 3 times been on the edge of heatstroke. Mad dogs and englishmen go outbin the midday sun

    TJ, thanks for sharing, been enjoying the updates, it has been very entertaining reading about your travels, and all the wonderful places you have been and the amazing hospitality you have received.

    Unfortunately I’ve not been able to get out for any touring myself for the last couple of years, so this has been brilliant to read. As it’s given me my touring fix from the seat of my sofa, without having to turn a pedal 🙂

    Hope you enjoy whatever you have planned next. Enjoy a nice relax if you head back home, you deserve it. But whilst you are there I think it would be rude not to continue on to Portugal. You are not that far away really!

    Stay safe and enjoy 👍👍
