Val Doonican

[Bierzo Baggie]

More rainy days.
Sunday morning; Espinoso de Compludo.
Set off from the House of Scouse accompanied by Roland the birdman.
Covered the usual circuit.
Long descent into the Compludo valley.
Slightly technical section past the old smithy and above the river.
Hopped, skipped and jumped over the tumbling scree, remnant of a wartime wolframite mine.
Ran up the big climb at the end and when running yielded diminishing returns, we walked.
75 minutes and the song of a robin.
