La Viñuela Reservoir Cycle 3 March 2022

Yes… the reservoir again… this time we cycled around the perimeter. Unfortunately the navigator made an error and we ended up covering 18.5 miles and climbing an extra 200 metres of extremely steep mountain. Just the one puncture on the ride. Definitely in need of a drink of water when we got back to the campsite.

A flowing river (stream). A really unusual sight in this area.
As usual….Alan had to stop and spot any fish. Apart from a few small fish this pool held a turtle with a 8” diameter shell.

An elderly but beautiful olive grove (which we wouldn’t have seen if the navigator hadn’t made an error!)
