Day 6, 45km:

Our departure was filmed by the hotel owners today: We were there first foreign
 guests ever! We took a lovely quiet road through a beautiful gorge valley.
 We then wound our way up a massive pass (4900ft) on the way we passed 3 trucks
 carrying wind turbine blades. A guy sat on the back swung the huge blade
 out to 90degrees to get it around the hairpin bends. Chris saw one misjudge
 it and plow the blade into the side of the mountain. Late that afternoon Chris
 found a camp spot down a disused and overgrown  electric pylon track, hidden
 but with lovely views over the valley. Unfortunately while we were hauling our
 stuff over a fence a police van drove past. Chris dove for cover but his trailer
 was on display on the wrong side of the fence. It was a long way to the next 
town so we sat and waited at the camp to see if anyone would came back.
 When they didn't after an hour we pitched camp and remained undisturbed.
