Cheers for all the nice photo comments

The artic ones were taken in March, the snow should have been deeper but it was a bit on the warm side when we were there (not that that stopped my boots freezing!) Lightwise it was pretty good March there seemed similar to mid January here.
The camino photos were in June/July. Me and the Mrs were doing 200 miles of the Northern coastal Route. Highly recommended to avoid the hoards of pilgrims on the french route. For all but the last 2 days we had the place almost to ourselves.
Hope you like the two french army poncho's being used for a tarp, they were seriously heavy duty and only took the addition of a few brass eyelets to get them pitching in various whacky ways...

Green Spain and particularly Asturias / Cantabria and Galicia are seriously recommended as places to visit, very like a perfect UK summer with stunning vegetation. We got there with a £19 Jet2 flight to barcelona and an overnight train (£60 for our own compartment with shower) to Leon.
You can pretty much camp where you like (leave no trace to keep things this way) when farmers passed by we asked but to quote one woman with six cows when asked for permission "Go ahead, we don't much bother about that sort of thing round here" Another farmer dragged us off to his house and plied us with coffee, beer and brandy whilst he told us about his adventures in the Franco years!
