It's a photo taken 12 years ago, and you say a lot of things have changed since then. It's a great view from this mountain too.

Not really; I said a lot had changed since 1981 (in the notes - you might easily have missed it) when I first climbed here (it's a long story!). Actually I have posted one photo from here from 1981 featurering my old French climbing friend - and old school exchange friend before that. I'll try and find it for you, Jenny!)
It has a certain hazy effect which may have been heat haze or photographic incompetance, either way I like it!
Thank you, Jenny!

I looks a tough climb.

Not really, but tough if you're not fit I suppose. But then go at at your own pace and it's doable in about an hour.

La fotografía de paisaje está muy bien enmarcada, con esa pared de granito a la izquierda y el pueblo al fondo y abajo. Así al natural aumenta la sensación de altura y profundidad. La N-1 la he recorrido muchas veces, para ir solo hasta Madrid o Andalucía, desde Bilbao, pasando por Somosierra, cuando no estaban los coches climatizados, viajaba de noche.

Makes sense. I first went this way in a 1970 Renault 4L in 1981 with very little brakes. Fun, but dangerous and the road was the Old Burgos Road and it took about 5 hours to get to Burgos! (No motorway then!)
Thank you, José Manuel!

Fab shot Andy, good luck with the training, can't wait to see the new version!

Well the training is Algete hills and steps but I'll get there! Thank you, Maggie!

I have to return to Cornwall soon, Peggy but I intend to get up there again before I do! And I want to say hello to my Griffon vulture family. I've missed them these past 5 years or so!

I hope you make it up there, Andy!! Looking at the spread of the town I think it must be a nice place to live if so many more people wanted to shift there.

Superbe vue!

Superbe vue étendue !
Bonne semaine. Amitiés
