Tom and Mike’s Tour

Day 1 - Derby to Buxton - 83km 1460m vertical ascent

https://www.komoot.com/tour/418811936

Dinner at the Garden of Buxton Brewery. Camp at Lime Tree Holiday Park (walking distance to Buxton). The ride follows the smaller lanes of the South of the Peak District where I’ve never been.

Day 2 - Buxton to Hathersage - 86.3km 1880 vertical ascent

https://www.komoot.com/tour/418823631

Accommodation in North Lees campsite 1.5 miles N of Hathersage. Dinner in Hathersage and visit Alpkit Store. The ride will take us up the feared Winnett’s pass, past Mam Tour and there is an optional poorly paved bit up to Kinder Scout (the out and back segment so if unpassable we just turn back). This day can be made longer by looping up to Glossop and then we will see more of the North of the Peaks. There are far fewer roads there because it’s so rugged.

Day 3 - Hathesage to Derby - 93.3km 1470m vertical ascent

https://www.komoot.com/tour/418830730

Bakewell tarts in Bakewell and we will cycle through Chatsworth House grounds. In the first third of the ride we’ll meander around a bit but if the legs are tired this ride can be shortened to 65km.

Day 42: 16th May

Party time!

We have arrived in San Sebastián/ Donostia, the foodie capital of Europe (more Michelin Star restaurants per square mile than any other city than Tokyo) and the end of the Camino for my three amigas... half way point of the route for me.

Certainly time for a celebration with a cautious eye on how far the kitty would stretch.

But first a few words about today. We all ❤️ Orio and shortly before setting off this morning on a typically near vertical old road out of town,where even the church had a 2nd story entrance over the street, we were surprised to meet “biker dog” happily riding round in his master’s top box.

An imposing memorial to an important teacher from yesteryear was followed by a local Music School which struck a chord (argh!) with a certain other music teacher on the walk.

The route was relaxing and very scenic today, following high up above the coast with beautiful views of the sea.

There was an amusing moment when the four of us stumbled into a bar completely inhabited by local workmen having their lunch. Conversation stopped, forks held mid- air and all eyes on these four very non Spanish women suddenly invading their space... followed by eyes suddenly shifted to the TV on the wall or down at their plates in order not to seem offensive. I imagined my friends and I having a cream tea in Hathersage with 4 very Spanish guys suddenly walking in... I think our reactions would have been similar.

Mount Igeldo is at the extreme edge of San Sebastián and is home to an extremely retro ( knackered?) amusement park. There’s a funicular down to the beach to make it easy for the holiday makers but we just had to add to our list of Camino cheats and give it a try. It was seriously retro itself but it did the job (just) and took us to the famous La Concha beach and the beautiful city by the sea.

Classy buskers, smart dressers, chic perfume aromas from passers by... of course we fitted in just perfectly, hobbling around trying to find our accommodation with google on the phone.

Later after a good hot shower and ( partial) change of clothes we set off to do the pinchos bars of the old quarter which certainly lived up to their reputation and then some!

We did find a “locals” bar and I chatted to an old guy who had worked on the fishing boats and knew Dublin and Cork and Norway. I asked him if he would be eating the tapas but he pointed out he had no teeth so he just came for the wine.

The wine was certainly good and we can definitely vouch for that. A real feeling of achievement and arrival today and a rest day tomorrow!
