Despite the mixed forecast, Sunday dawned bright, though windy. A stiff, warm, breeze blew in from the east.

First action of the day was to try and make contact with the cubs. We had phone late last night, and got no answer... and assumed they had gone to bed early. On phoning again this morning there was still no answer. Seeds of concern started to grow.

Gorse Fox finally tried Urban-cub's mobile, and got through. All was ok. They had switched the ringer off on the phone, and forgotten to switch it back on! C-c was doing ok. A good night's sleep had helped her brighten up, but she was famished. She cannot eat anything, and has to rely on liquid food. This has proved to be unsatisfactory so far. The cubs were hoping to go out during the day to see if they could find something more appetizing.

After Silver Vixen had chatted for a while, we could relax and plan the day's adventures. After yesterday, we decided not to emark on anything too strenuous. We would attempt the walk acros to Los Abrigos again. (The one we abandonned last week due to inadequate footwear).

Setting off we found the stiff breeze quite pleasant for walking in. Making our way down to the water's edge we headed eastwards into the face of the wind and towards our target. The only tricky bit was in the area of Playa San Blas, where you traverse pebbles, then climb a bank before descending back down the other side and back onto a proper path.

Arriving in Los Abrigos we stopped at bar and sat overlooking the harbour whilst doing untold damage to a cold drink. When we set off again, we stopped at a shop that the Silver Vixen likes... and then headed back up to the villa. A nice 7k round trip.
