Day 10 - Saturday May 17th

Spoke with Jo this morning. She took a taxi to take her two days Head of the walkers and has booked into a guest house Gor two days. She sounded very low and obviously disappointed not to be able to walk, especially as all of the things she had been worried about before she started were fine. She thinks that the problem was caused on the second day when it was so wet and muddy.

The situation is made worse because she has little Spanish. When we spoke later in the day she was more cheerful. And had spent some time watching the storks build a nest in the church and listening to music on her phone. Her back was feeling easier and she was feeling confident about walking again on Monday. She will meet the other walkers again tomorrow afternoon. She is going to sen her pack on to the next stop and not carry it which will also be able to help out other walkers who are struggling by adding some of their luggage to hers.

Richard spoke to Ann later in the day and they had walked about 12.5 miles.
