Hi! No problem to post stuff on the forum from me! It snowed all last night and was snowing heavily when we got up this morning. Poladura was white. We were in the albergue but had one heater and 2 big bottles of wine, so all good! I was with a Dutch guy and a Spanish guy. Both really nice. The pass to Pajares was under 2 metres of snow. Trying to keep up with a 6ft 6ins long legged Dutchman and Speedy Gonzales this morning to try and catch the only train a day this morning, 6kms away, has been the biggest challenge of my camino so far! Just made it to the station in Villamanin to catch the train. But no train! Renfe sent a taxi to take us on. Free! I got out at Campones, to contine walking. But the other 2 went on to La Pola de Lena to start walking again. I am now in Pola de Lena. The hospitalera recommended Mino for lunch, so now there enjoying a menu del dia and my first wifi in 2 days.
I will walk to Mieres tomorrow. A short day and no snow this side of Pajares.
