A stuck car and a slightly panicked Clare (she did not know I had taken this picture otherwise she would have killed me).

From La Palma

Run did not go quite as planned today. We were aiming to run around some volcanoes. It was cloudy in Cancajos and were resigned to some inclement weather however we had to abandon our plans about 1 k from the top of the mountain (after 1.30 hours of driving) as the rain turned into hail and then the hire car started to slip on the ice which was forming on the road. Tried to do a 3 point turn but the car got stuck (note to self don't drive a Hyundi Getz on snow again). After a bit of a panic managed to slip and slide the car around and then drove very slowly back down the hill. So all told we spent 3 hours driving in the drizzle up and then downhill.

Clare dumped me in Santa Cruz and I ran in the rain back to the apartment.

C • dumped by Clare 3

Pick up run from the apartment along the coast. Tired by the end.
