As an aside...a 17km strenuous walk today under cloudless skies from the mountain village of Tárbena. Bitterly cold start at 09:30...midway round we came upon a stranded leccy company van. Midway up a narrow vertiginous track to a remote finca. NS front wheel hanging over a substantial drop. No phone signal. The two leccy workers were resigned to a long walk to get some form of assistance. Several of us manhandled their small van back onto the mountain track and left them to reverse down. Rather them than me.
Good deed for the day. Tick. It could all have gone horribly wrong.
