Camino Cycle September 2006











On the 16 th of September 2006 ,5 middle aged , but very keen Irish cyclists , plus a driver ,arrived in Najera and over the next 5 days cycled the 640 Kilometers from Najera to Santiago . We were all on road bikes but we did our best to stay as close as possible to the original Camino route staying overnight in Najera ,Castrojeriz, Mansilla De Las Mulas , Villifranc , Sarria and finally Santiago . The cycle took us through some spectacular scenery , there were some tough climbs and fantastic descents , weather was good apart from the last day when we had 120 Kilometers into wind and gales . The trip was great craic (which is an Irish'ism for massive fun usually involving copious amounts of alcohol ) Here are a few photos of us .
