Set out at 7 am. Quite cool- cold, but unfortunately warmer clothing in other bag on the truck. Both bags out tonight as it's a rest day tomorrow, so will reorganise bag for future camping. 6 nights on the trot. Should be a challenge.

Road today was ok and the scenery was barren mountains, vegetable plantings and an incredible number of long trains, both passenger and freight and ore/ coal. On route met a truck driver and road engineer, both of whom wanted photos with me. Felt like a friendly alien! We reached a summit of 2970metres, before descending to about 1240 m. Quite cold at top.

Arrived hotel in good time, assisted by a 10 km downhill which I never wanted to finish. The markings with this new tour leader aren't as good as the last, but I suppose I still got here. Looks like a non event town!
