Posted on 22/02/2018 by magwood

You wait for four months, and then three come at once!

Posted on 20/01/2018 by magwood

And last, but hopefully not least, in my little flurry of posting…I uploaded a couple of camino videos to youtube some time back, but don’t think I announced it on the blog. The first, rather long, one incorporates all stages … Continue reading →

Posted on 20/01/2018 by magwood

And while I’m at it, here are more of other people’s images that have taken my fancy over the last while.  The first section can all be considered camino related (at least to my way of thinking) and the others … Continue reading →

That view…

Posted on 20/01/2018 by magwood

I have received a comment from a follower of the blog to remind me that I haven’t posted here for quite some time.  Four months to be exact.  I’m not sure where all that time went! So here is a … Continue reading →

Posted on 24/08/2017 by magwood

Here is part two of my 2017 camino round-up.  I won’t give too much detail as these are much more travelled routes and there is a lot of easily available information around.  You can check out part one which covers … Continue reading →

Reflections on the Caminos de Madrid & San Salvador

Posted on 21/08/2017 by magwood

It’s hard to believe that almost three months have passed since I finished my 2017 camino.  I’ve spent quite some time going through my photos and video clips to put together the movie you can see below.  I managed to … Continue reading →

Posted on 29/05/2017 by magwood

My mojo was still in evidence this morning as I set off from Finisterre at just after 07:00. I hadn’t remembered the walk as being that great – it was the finale of my first camino (Frances) in 2013 when … Continue reading →

Posted on 28/05/2017 by magwood

Before I forget I just was to report what fabulous people I have met the last couple of days. In A Pena I shared my supper with pilgrims from Switzerland, France, Germany, New Zealand, Spain and the UK. And I … Continue reading →

Stage 34 – Piaxe (A Pena) to O Logoso 29.1 km

Posted on 26/05/2017 by magwood

My wishful thinking didn’t come to fruition. There was a fierce downpour before dawn but unfortunately it was still raining, albeit lightly, when I left the albergue this morning at just after 07:00. It rained to some extent for pretty … Continue reading →

Posted on 26/05/2017 by magwood

Who wasn’t paying attention and thought the camino and blog posts had finished? There are still another four or five instalments to come as I walk on to Finisterre so please keep reading. Early this morning Marilyn and I said … Continue reading →

Stage 32 – O Pedrouzo to Santiago de Compostella 19.5 km

Posted on 25/05/2017 by magwood

Well…what can I say. I have arrived to Santiago for the fifth time. The magic remains, but is tempered a bit by the increasing number of tour groups and beggars one has to negotiate. I had high hopes that the … Continue reading →

Stage 31 – Sobrado dos Monxes to O Pedrouzo, 39.4 km

Posted on 23/05/2017 by magwood

This might not be a very long post as I am rather weary after my log hike in the hot sun. Today I planned to take another variant to the main camino. I had rough instructions that someone had kindly … Continue reading →

Stage 30 – Friol to Sobrado dos Monxes, 27 km

Posted on 22/05/2017 by magwood

Last evening we met up with a couple of women (Dutch and German) and ate with them at a rather nice restaurant near the church (can’t remember the name), 13 euros for a menu. Rather expensive but also rather nice. … Continue reading →

Stage 29 – Lugo to Friol, 27.8 km

Posted on 21/05/2017 by magwood

Today was shakeup day. Diverging from my plan. Separating from my spreadsheet. I am not looking forward to joining with the Camino Frances and its hordes of pilgrims, many of whom will only be walking the last hundred km and … Continue reading →
