Lenny's Looking for Some Sunshine

[Lenny HB]

Meanwhile in a seemingly parallel universe the BBC forecast for View attachment 609108Tarifa. As we say back home “it’s stottin doon. (Translation from the Geordie for you Southern folk, “it’s currently raining heavily”)

Looks like the weather we had on Wednesday has caught with you.

It's not rained for more than a couple of hours since I got back to Brighton 4 weeks ago! I keep having to water the garden

I thought it only rained one day Lenny, we changed our plans to meet up with Catherine Viennese a couple of days ago in Javea.

We are now heading away from tourists, was going to do the laundry but it was busy. Bob.

At thiel wandering around the boat lifts getting the bikes out today its 16 degrees sunny but breezy today

 

[Lenny HB]

Waves got up so no Paddleboarding so we headed inland to Parc Natural de la Serra de Mariola. We were heading for a small CP now that's where the fun started.
Spent ages driving up & down rough forest trails we were just about to give up then a little jeep came up the track it was a Forest Ranger and he spoke good English. He didn't know where it was he phoned then and they could see our van we were only a couple of hundred metres away. He drove found the place & came back for us and we followed. All good nope part of the track was unpassable for us, but there was another way round much easier & we finally got there.

Small camper stop 3 places in the front garden, lovely friendly couple made to feel welcome. Even have use of their pool but it was 12 deg, no thanks.

Had some company.

[Swifter]

No paddle board today then ?
Water looks good

 

[Lenny HB]

Managed to sneek into the bull ring where they were setting up for a concert.
The bull ring is carved out of solid rock.

 

[Lenny HB]

Then onto Castell de Gaudalest, across steep mountain roads.
Comfomatic gearbox decides to have a wobbly, halfway round a hairpin on a a 1 in 6 we stop moving with message on the dash "no gears available" Holy sh*t quick change of trousers, turn engine off and restart all OK apart from my nerves.
Get to our destination then all sorts of messages and warning lights I've never seen before. Sod that let's find a bar for a drink. Felt better after that.

Get out of the van me thinks this looks familar, yep been here before.

It gets worse after dinner start watching F1 and that falls over even though I've got a good 4G signal.

 

[Lenny HB]
