Spain Tour 8: On Cowardice

Next we headed out to Fuente De. Climbing the road into the valley (about a kilometre above Potes). A cold, airless morning. We knew that at the top of the valley there was a fairly high mountain, but there was a cable car up it. We would ride that, if there was space. However. It. Looked. Like. This.
Right at the top of that picture, a long way away and very high up, you can just make out the top end of the cable. Even when they were closer they looked unnerving. There were lots of spaces. We put it to the vote. Three out of four said No.

So we stayed on the ground and looked at some relics of earlier cable cars.

And then we crept away and went home.
