Day 2 Fri Feb 01 – Lindoso to Xinzo de Limia

80km today 139km total 310km to Palencia (my first hotel)

Sunshine and showers up the R Lima valley

Better put the tent up

I set the alarm for 7am but still didn’t get going until 9.20am. I hope to improve on this. The day started well with a brisk south-westerly giving me some much needed assistance up the Lima valley towards Bande. Unfortunately, by midday rain had set in for the day and my wet weather kit was given a good test. After topping up with food in Xinzo de Limia I was prepared to cycle on into the rainy night (not a lot else to do!) but I spotted another good camping spot in a town park around 5.30pm and pitched the tent in some very wet and windy weather.
