Stuff my shirt pockets with fresh picked cherries, so that it looks like my chest bleeds. Eat porrige for tow and loos my way. I cycle on through a gorgeous canyon. A naked lunch, swim in the Rio Ebro, then bathing on the warm rocks. Wash clothes in a small pool, and hang them to dry from the back of my load.\u00a0 Struggle 1000km high, and loose a clean pair of undies on the subsequent downhill.\u00a0 Wide open altiplano of wind farms and deserted towns. Hours between the sight of people. I have found my own route, almost empty of cars, that takes me in the right direction. Its my road.<br \/>\nFat fluttering moths around my hilltop tent near Nuez des Ariba, pitched on hard grass that survives all weather. Its like a bed of needles. Litres of water, and little less wine. The wunsets on a happy peter who has the best view, of cliffs and wind turbines, and is a little closer to Caroline.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-408 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.peterstenhouse.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/img_0194_fountain.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peterstenhouse.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/img_0194_fountain-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.peterstenhouse.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/img_0090_lunchspot.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peterstenhouse.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/img_0090_lunchspot-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.peterstenhouse.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/img_0113_campsite.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peterstenhouse.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/img_0113_campsite-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the second of June Highest speed yet, of 81.3 kmph down a hill before breakfast.
