My walking stick and I (and my kilt of course!) have just walked 108km in the last 8 days. And, this morning, I had my first glimpse of Barcelona on this walk (I've got a few milestones/targets as I head south to Gibraltar - and Barcelona is the first of these).

I've actually quite taken to walking at night B. It's MUCH cooler, and almost traffic-free. Which means I can walk on more direct roads. When there IS traffic, I can see the lights from miles away - so have lots of time to get off of the road. Once I get going, all is reasonably OK. It's only up/down movements, and maneuevering, that causes any real trouble. Which is why it's easier on roads :)
