Day 14 - Over the 300km mark!

Started the day early and left the long skinny town of Castrojeriz to be immediately faced with a 1km steep climb. We are both feeling pretty fit and knocked it off with hardly a pant!! From the moment we set off we had very hot temps and my arm tends to swell in the heat making it feel like a pressure cooker!! 

We had decided to stop for lunch at the delightful garden oasis of Boadilla del Camino. I was very jeolous of Nat as she settled in for a shady afternoon with the other pilgrims and I had to put my shoes on and walk another 6 km in the searing sun to make it to Fromista. 

The mind so often plays tricks on you and whether you are walking 20 or 30 kms the last 5 are always a grind. This is no walk I the park!!! Today was a pleasant surprise and we easy walked along a tree lined canel to find our destination.
