Corrales - Aguilar

Well the day started ok finding a cafe at the foot of what appeared to be a modest climb, so tortilla and coke it was with a couple of chorizo rolls for lunch. Spoke with the guy in the cafe who told me what my day had in store and even in Spanish I can say he didn't hold back - yes the next 3.5 hrs had me climbing a mountain range all the way to reinosa by the time I got there I had consumed all but a mouthfull of my mornings water rations 4 ltrs, then the oasis of lidel emerged, stocked up on rations and headed of to aguilar still climbing with hardly a down hill to remember arrived at 4pm only 40m done but what a 40 !
