Day 6 Grandas de Salime to Fronsagrada 28k

Well a poor night sleep had due to the tunes of snoring in the open dorm and the shaky bunk beds. Out at 6am again and 5k in before the day dawned. Stopped for breakfast on some table and chairs outside a closed shop, for the owner to then only tell us to move on like naughty children.

Another up and down day hill wise, and I will be glad when the hill part is over if I’m honest. Some of the hardest ‘mother f***er hills’ I have climbed. Today the sun was out 37° and shining on us all the way for last 12k of today, so even harder as we sweated away climbing 1000 metres. To then only finished the day with the steepest ascent there has been. Lungbursting was not the name for it. Walked into the albergue not really knowing what’s going on and just wanting to lie down and rest my feet as they were numb.

Half way now to Santiago with 156km to go. Last of the hills tomorrow and the rest is all flat. Yipee!!!. Coping well with no serious injuries!

This is the terain over the next few days
