Presumably a long ferry crossing across the Adriatic? Bit of a rest.

Great start already Spoons :flexed_biceps:

Guess I’m spending this week watching a random number traverse a map of Europe rather than working

What number is Spooner?

Parcours 1 looks like it’s in the middle of nowhere; actually on Google Maps there are roads…and they look way better than the rubbish ones we have here!

Seem to be loads more dots this year?

Yeah I think they upped the number of starters by about 100 this year by the looks of things

The tracker is a bit odd, my Physio is ahead of Spoons, maybe 100 odd km, but his “position” is about 60 places less. Both are in the north of Spain so its not a vastly different route.

Looks like the coastal route is the obvious choice; probably geography and civilisation. The interior of Spain can get pretty remote, very quickly.
