Oh no a Snowplough!

A brief note from Ross... one of these experiences you just can't believe. We set off from Fuente De and headed off over the hills from a place a long long way from civilisation.. we went up a big hill then a bigger hill then into the cloud then found a viewpoint. Just as I stopped at the viewpoint a huge French campervan parked on the bend in front, when... out of nowhere coming down the hill on collision course... a snowplough... blades down heading dead centre. Anyway nothing happened other than confusion and disbelief.

Tonight's blog proper comes from a man who needs little introduction Mr John Baxter known to many constabularies round the world. Over to John...

This is my little space to write in! We left Fuente De and zoomed down the road to a lovely church for Lesbos which had a great view. We then walked around Potes an attractive little town with a castle which has spectacular views of the town. We raided the supermarket for food then flew down the road towards Riano where we had a picnic whilst relaxing in the sun. Ross the Horizontal did some off-roading. We then hooned down the road to Leon with a bit of off roading arriving at the best Parador in Spain. Ross, the FLWC, was almost left behind whilst Morna the Pants, Prue the Hoover and John the Guide arranged a tour around Leon visiting the very historic buildings and monuments culminating in several pints of the golden throat charmer. The evening meal was at a lovely restaurant close to the Parador which made up for the meal last night which required an operating microscope to find the food. Tomorrow we have 220 miles to motor so we better get to bed! A great day averaging 25-30 degrees with fantastic biking roads with great bends as well as some good straights.It doesn't get any better!

And a note from Morna (I have insisted). The picture shows Where we are staying tonight. Slumming it in Leon. This is the most amazing place I have ever seen. I could spend a week going round it but will fill in details to those interested when I get back.
