[Bierzo Baggie]

Thanks MLCM.
Sunday.
The snow is near.
Took the car up the first slopes of the lonely Morredero pass and parked it offroad well before the intended destination. I’ve got the snow chains in the back just in case.
Ran 5km along the road to Espinoso. Tried to run on the snow as much as I could to ease the impact. Roads feel harder than they used to be.
Several times there were deer crossing in front of me. They always seem to stop and size you up for a few moments before scampering off through the trees. Heard that the Royal Princes William and Harry were hunting boar and deer in Cordoba. They could have spent their weekend in El Bierzo, there’s surplus up here. Or better not...
Stopped at the House of Scouse for a cup of tea but his Scouseness was not in residence. So ran 5km back to the car.
57 minutes in all.
