Vigo - Redondela I was happy to be leaving Vigo. Our Camino was not over and we had many kms to go. Leaving the town, we faced a steep climb but the walk to Redondela was a short one. The forecast for the day was good also, so we were were all set. We left …

Oia to Nigrán Our 2nd day on the trail and it was almost a shame to be leaving Oia. I would love to go back there again, there is such a sense of community about it. But we are on Camino! Today, we walked to Nigrán, just over 22kms north of Oia and a little bit …

Well, that week has flown by. It has been seven days since my last post and my great intentions of writing everyday have well and truly been left by the wayside. I am still here however. Hanging in and hanging on and counting my blessings. The date of May 5th looms large but I don't …

If you are thinking of walking one of the many Caminos de Santiago this year, now would be a good time to get your kit and bits and pieces in check. As Roy Keane once said "Fail to prepare, prepare to fail" and I would agree with him to a extent. Even I, after my …
It's February and as I settle back to my new home (long story!), I begin to look ahead on the next few months. 2019 brought a record number of pilgrims to Santiago and the expectation is that this year, the numbers of visitors to Santiago will be higher. But I am here to write about …

It's the weekend again and I am home from another great walk with Camino Society Ireland. I love meeting with other pilgrims. You can read how we got on here on the Camino Society Ireland magazine. Before I shuffle on to bed, I was sent this video by Linda and it made me think. We …

This is a short video promoting the Portuguese Coastal Camino and it does a great job. September can't come soon enough. However, I can't help noticing that this particular pilgrim walked inland to Valenca instead of crossing the River Mino at Caminha. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGJz6Jey-OQ
Some say I'm a dreamer. In the past, It has gotten me into some trouble. Looking out windows wishing I could be somewhere else, only to focus on the task at hand. I used to think it was a habit but in my formative years, it wasn't the case. Last week, I turned another year …
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.
