Blog - Day 13 (Mon 3 Jun)
Mojacar-Puerto De Mazarron(
)
Here we go, under Gordon’s instructions we had to get up b4 the wind. Needless to say, it was blowing a hoolie at 0700, so we went for breakfast instead where restraint was the order of the day.
We set off and luckily, or unlucky depending on the outcome, met 3 solid members of the Mojar Cycling posse. It was all action up the coast, the average was volcanic and the Wanartous were going full pelt until Herr Jimmy started barking orders to the posse, the major misdemeanourer turned out to be a wee French man so it was all waving hands and pointing fingers, hilarious. The wee french fellow was gubbed, followed shorty after by moi.
We never saw them again but that was 25 miles in the can.
Arrived in Aguilas, quote from the McIntosh “this is the biggest wee toon we’ve been in”. Think I was still knackerd from the sprints.
So climbed a huge big hill, that had zero cars flew down onto the gravel and great sea views. Gravel was as lumpy as Michelles McManus’s jumper, and not as soft.
Gravel led to gravel and we were in a world of hippy caravans and wacky baki motor homes b4 slowing down 2 view the nudist beach, then speeding up eek!
So that was the last of the gravel, all 3 of us still have the dust from first time we got on it.
We got to the 2nd M , Mazzaron (see yesterday's report). Nice wee town, but its still blowing a major hoolie.
Last day tomorrow

Hope you’re using your sun block and lip balm. That dust will ruin your skin. And beware of being down wind of a loaded Jimmy snotter.
