Thank you Storm Aline. Or maybe it’s all the fault of Babette? Whichever, it’s not good news for my trip home. The Portuguese government just sent me a text message: “Strong winds and heavy rain, risk of flooding…..:” Thunder, lightning, hail – even the first snowfall of the season in northern Spain. Which is just where I’m heading. Do I want to be in a campsite at 3000-4000 feet, with temperatures around 4 degrees at night, in the mountains north-east of Leon? Do I want to be crossing those viaducts on the Cantabrian Highway that I found so beautiful on the way here, in high winds? Even worse, do I want to be crossing the Bay of Biscay with waves of seven to eight metres?
