Clearskies Camino - My times on the Camino

One podcast – three years ago!

Three years ago, I was a different person. When I recorded this podcast with Australian, Dan Mullins, I had come back from a walk on the meseta and I was looking forward to walking the newly established Celtic Camino. The Camino had given so much to me that it was time to give back, so I started to volunteer with Camino Society Ireland.

Here is the podcast for your listening pleasure

Shamrocks and Shells – Do you have a Camino story to tell?

I have mentioned before that I edit a digital magazine for Camino Society Ireland, Shamrocks and Shells. It gives me great joy giving back to the Camino and it keeps me out trouble! It is published every quarter and the whole aim is to showcase the Society’s events throughout that quarter. We also look to publish pilgrim experiences, book and film reviews and practical information. Anything that a future pilgrim might find useful.

At present, we have the start of growing list of pilgrim stories dating back to 2018 but we are always looking for more. Every pilgrim has a story to tell, no matter where you have walked. If you do plan on writing, your submission will not be published on this blog but on Shamrocks and Shells. If interested, you might send me an email here. Looking forward to hearing from you and Buen Camino!

Santo Domingo’s Lavanderia

A simple picture. For those who have not been there, it will not mean much, but it brings back a lot to me.

This picture was taken in Santo Domingo de la Calzada in 2013 after I had completed a grueling 24km walk from Najera through wind and rain. Muck was clinging to my trail shoes and the colour of my trousers had turned from black to a shade of gray. I was waiting for a washing machine to become available as they were in demand that day. What is strange about the Cofradia albergue is that there is no washer or dryer in it which is unlike other albergues. While waiting, I met 2 people from Ireland who are good friends to this day. I met more people from Ireland in the albergue who shared their dinner with me.

You can read my post from that day here.
