C de F - Day 5 : El salto de la muerte

Day No. 5 :  Praia de Ajou to Camarinas

Today: 23 kms

ToDate:  104 kms : 56%

ToGo: 83 kms

As Day 5 began, the Pilgrims are well-settled in ...

Community shopping for the picnic takes barely 5 minutes:


By 09.30 we were leaving Praia de Anjou beach:




Along the way there were the usual stunning beaches:


Dramatic lighthouses:


Sensational views of an amazing coastline:


Time - of course - for Elevenses:


But in the end today will be remembered for crossing the Duna de Monte Branco.



As to exactly what happened, as the late Queen once wrote:
Recollections may vary !

Suffice to say only one Pilgrim chose the route of El salto de la muerte - The leap of death ☠ 

Obituaries were being written & Eulogies prepared ...

But the Ol' Pilgrim survived to Tell the Tale:

" The Costa da Morte: How I survived !! "


For some days are Never To Be Forgotten 😉

  2. As Roger and I said to each other as we passed: "why would they need to put an "x" there, who on earth would think that was a suitable route?"
