Skippy Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 A rather splendid few hours out on the bike this morning, headed over to Cartagena Bay to have a look at the old naval ships and submarines in for service etc (no photos as they get a bit shirty). From there headed further around the bay to the Cala Cortina area where there are loads of trails to be explored that run between old forts etc. Couldn’t get the bike up there but next time I’ll take the mountain bike in the car and go exploring. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted December 17, 2023 Author Share Posted December 17, 2023 Woke up with another fucking migraine this morning.......had a few of these since the op.
