Day 5.
Finally get to use my fucking stove / gas that been lugging about for coffee outside
Cycle through Tattoine, bizarre place. No Jawas spotted.
Hard going through the section after the train station - energy sapping cycling on dried up river bed.
Road to Gergal after desert for massive tostadas
Shop in Gergal to buy lots as planning another wild camp. Buy 3 litres of water to schlep up the mountain.
Road climb up to the observatory - bin off the off road bit to the observatory actual as cba / hot af.
Get to cycle along the top and sort of bummed out that it's all big massive farm land area? Wasn't expecting to see anything up here tbh.
Gravel road is turned to dust in many parts, so dry.
Bin off the route as hadn't planned on doing Gorafe desert section so descend to a zona acampada.
Descent is incredible but fuck it up and descend too far so need to climb back up a bit.
Get to camp spot.
It has water.
Lament carrying that extra water all that way.
Eat all the scran we brought from Gergal.
It's fucking cold at 1600m elevation
Huddle around the stove for warmth before getting into tent for a cold camp.
Zero beers.
