Rose and Wandering Man are heading into a land of deep valleys and high plains.

This one’s a bit different. In order to add to our usual navigationally challenged experiences, we are actually wandering on unmarked paths, with nothing much in the way of route. We are casually stealing a wander outlined by a travel company, who miserably refused to send us their route GPX file unless we bought their package. Which we didn’t.

Unfortunately, the ‘route’ consists of a blurry picture on their website with infuriatingly vague descriptions of the odd turn here and there. We even bought maps – online and paper based – but neither were of much help. The ‘route’ appears to go where no man has, or should, tread.

Nonetheless, travel and accommodation are booked and we are endeavouring to stick as closely as we can to the tracks described in their brochure. Why? Because it looks lovely. We will be following the rivers Sil and Miño just north of the border between Spain and Portugal.

Starting point Ourense in Galicia. It’s going to be….interesting.
