    The dreaded descent into Zubiri

    Well, I made it. It rained all last night and into this morning but the sun came out so I thought I’d give it a try. Challenging, but doable if you take your time and concentrate. I disagree that it was a total slog; some sections were quite pleasant. But no walk in the park, for sure.

    Alternate route advice

    Thanks for all the tips on finding the river route to Castanares. I'll be staying there for the night so it's important that I find the turn. I'll start looking about 1km out of Orbaneja Riopico. Wish me luck!
