We imagined that the steep climbs, now being tackled on our own terms, might feel a bit easier... But this wasn't the case! Inclines which were at some points covered with slippery patches of algae made for a difficult climb.
Unfortunately, once we had reached the summit, we found that the castle was closed for renovation, though we did enjoy the beautiful views and a little hilltop nap in the warm winter sunshine.
I had struggled with the motivation to get up those hills this morning, and in the afternoon I appreciated the flat dual carriageway as we cruised alongside the stretches of beaches and promenades. I think I may have even got a little sunburnt.
