I hope you are having a good weekend. I have finally reached 50 in this series. And I mark this occasion by posting a quick video about my favourite 30km stretch on the Camino Frances - from Burgos to Hontanas and the start of the meseta. This pilgrim even stopped at the same cafes as …
My feet are in Dublin but my mind has been left somewhere between Leon and Astorga on the dusty trail. Sigh! All who I have met, broke bread and shared stories with are close to Santiago at this stage. How I wish I had continued my journey with them. But alas!, I must return to …
Hola! I write to you in the Municipal Albergue in Astorga. I have walked for ten days and while this is not even a third of the full French Way, I have completed the time allotted to me this year. I started in Burgos what feels like months ago and after close to 240kms, I …
With 3 days before I board my flight to Madrid, I am filled with mixed emotions - happiness, trepidation, excitement - but this is all normal. I have walked into Burgos twice before but have not had the chance to properly explore. This year I arrive between 1-2pm and I will make the most of …
Hi folks, I've slightly updated my packing list for my meseta Camino in just over 20 days. The main additions are new trail shoes and a change in rain gear. I've changed my blister kit too. Check it out in the "Packing List" tab above.
26 days until Camino numero siete. I can't wait...no, literally! This feeling doesn't get old. And naturally enough, I want to bring you along with me...well, not carry you, but you know what I mean! I hope to write about my 2 weeks away and I hope it will be useful to most of you. …
My 2017 Camino has come in many different shapes and sizes. First, I was to walk from Porto to Santiago. Then, I decided on the Camino Ingles from Ferrol. And finally I returned to familiarity and the Camino Frances. I suppose I have a special friendship with the French Way, but in time, I will dip …
It's the weekend once again, folks, and another "weekend watch" is due. This clip shows one man's walk from the start to the end of the Meseta on the Camino Frances. The Meseta is the central Spanish tableland, which divides the Camino Frances between Burgos and Astorga. It is a part of Spain known among pilgrims …
I remember taking this shot after a walk from Atapuerca in May 2015. It was very warm and I was waiting, with many other pilgrims, for the albergue to open. Burgos is a major city on the Camino and there is nothing finer than it's Cathedral. Here it is in all it's glory.
With my new novel Lost in the Fog soon-to-be published, in September of 2019 I embarked on a four month trip to France, Spain, Portugal, and the Caribbean. The main reason for the journey was to hike the Camino de Santiago, a 550 mile pilgrimage. With this blog, I am excerpting from the journal I kept. As David Lynch once said "getting lost is beautiful".
