Autumn 26 Primitivo, stage 5
Tineo to Borres, 15.8 km I manage to get Mikey up and out for 07:30 – something of a miracle (but we did get an extra hour due to the clocks going back during the night) and it was just … Continue reading
Autumn 26 Primitivo, stage 4
La Espina to Tineo 12.5 km We have a very late start this morning. Our roommates who are walking much further than us don’t even stir until after eight. And we don’t need an early start as once again we’re … Continue reading
Autumn 26 Primitivo, stage 3
Cornellana to La Espina, 20 km It rained a good deal in the night but it’s clear by the time we set off. I’m fervently hoping that we don’t get any tail-end effects from storm Austen which is battering the south … Continue reading
Autumn 26 Primitivo, stage 2
Grado to Cornellana, 11 km The albergue in Grado is run by volunteers and Javier was absolutely charming. It closes at the end of October and reopens in March. There is one dormitory for 16 pilgrims, adequate bathroom facilities, comfortable … Continue reading
Autumn 26 Primitivo, stage 1
Oviedo to Grado, 25 km The 6 1/2 hour coach journey sadly didn’t bring me any slumber at all although Mikey managed a few hours. We’ve been walking for something around an hour before we leave the city in drizzle … Continue reading
Another camino with Mikey
I’m not sure if I’ll blog as normal on this camino but will give a brief outline of our plans here and see what happens. My grandson Mikey was keen to walk another camino with me. We have about twelve … Continue reading
Camino Primitivo, O Cádavo to Lugo 32 km
Last night in the dorm was atrocious – nine people, eight men, very close and smelly, lots and lots of snoring. I gave up trying to sleep at 1 am and put in earplugs and listened to the radio for … Continue reading
Camino Primitivo, A Fonsagrada to O Cádavo 25 km
Yesterday the number of views on my blog tripped over 900,000. I find it unbelievable that it has reached this number. Thank you all for taking the time to visit. And a huge thank you to everyone who goes to … Continue reading
Camino Primitivo, Castro to A Fonsagrada, 21 km
The day starts fresh but dry. Very soon after leaving the albergue I am directed onto a track, which is lovely and soft due to the rain, but luckily not at all muddy. After quite some time there is a … Continue reading
Camino Primitivo, Navia Emblase to Castro 12.25 km
You can read my blog post from 2017 for the stage Campiello to Berducedo here You can read my blog post from 2017 for the stage Berducedo to Castro here Having made elaborate plans last night to skip the next … Continue reading
Camino Primitivo, Tineo to Campiello 13.5 km
Tineo is a rather strange town. Bustling on a Friday evening with lots of children running to the sweet shop and lots of parents running to the bar. It is a strange mix of very modern and quite old – … Continue reading
Camino Primitivo, Salas to Tineo 20 km
We are in the woods almost immediately on leaving Salas on an ever upward climb. This is an area rich in spring water and there are channels trickling alongside the path most of the time, and now and then fuentes. … Continue reading
Camino Primitivo, Grado to Salas 23 km
Well, I’m suffering my first injury on this camino (other than the almost inevitable blisters which are now ok). About 2/3rds of the way through yesterday’s stage I suddenly felt a sharp pain on the inside of my right knee. … Continue reading
Camino del Norte, Pola de Siero to Oviedo 18.5 km
Sorry for any confusion about the distance of yesterday’s stage. I noticed my typo pretty soon and corrected it, but not before the post was sent out to those receiving it by email. It should have (and now does) read … Continue reading
Camino del Norte, Villaviciosa to Pola de Siero 28 km
I’m seem to be working my way through my companions. First of all Marilyn fell by the wayside, then Renata chose to walk shorter stages, and now Paul has decided he needs a rest day! I have to admit that … Continue reading
