Thursday, 25 July 2019: Peña Maín (1612 m)
Weather: Blue skies, growing cloudy later.
Day 6: Leaving the minibuses at Tielve we walked up through shady beech woods to Peña Maín (Cabeza La Mesa, 1612 m) for splendid views of Naranjo de Bulnes / Pico Urriellu (2519 m), the rest of the main range and more mountains all around.
Descending through wildflower meadows towards Sotres, picnicking en route, brought us down to the Pandébano Col from where the trail continued downwards through more meadows and on slippery tree shadowed cobbled paths sunk deep into the hillside, to bring us into Bulnes for ice creams and a final descent along a classic Picos limestone river gorge back to Poncebos.
A fab day.

Made by Maldon Iron Works in the 1920s. One or perhaps two of the arms are replacements. The finial is of the unique to Essex semicircular type. This post was just a rusty pillar and finial until fully restored. NGR: TL424965.

Forced to make a large detour on the first day, to avoid two angry bulls. Therefore redid a part of the Glennap to Ballantrae section on 9 July, following the proper route.
