Autumn 26 camino, 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 del Norte, Bilbao to Pobeña 27 km
I’m trying something new. This QR code should take anyone interested to the Wikiloc route that I recorded this morning. You can also access the track via this link Accumulated elevation gain 168m Accumulated elevation loss 173m I met with … Continue reading
Let the new adventure begin!
I’ve just taken off on my flight to Bilbao and finally I feel excitement instead of slight anxiety about this trip. To be honest I’ve been happy not going anywhere in recent times and could very easily have not made … Continue reading
The boots dilemma has concluded
…in a very inconclusive way! Having tried on dozens of walking shoes/boots in tens of different shops, ordered six pairs from Amazon and several more from other online outlets, I have now officially given up and admitted defeat. I’ve ruined … Continue reading
It’s been so long…
…so long that I’ve forgotten how to blog! My last post was sent out on 12 March 2020. I’ve occasionally thought about posting in the meantime but haven’t really had very much to say. Fortunately the pandemic hasn’t been too … Continue reading

You wait for four months, and then three come at once!
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
Reflections on the Caminos Primitivo and Fisterra
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

It was a ¡buen camino!
I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has read and commented on my blog over the last 36 days. The comments really do give me a great boost every day. Please stick around for a … Continue reading
Stage 36 – Fisterra to Muxía, 28.5 km
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

Stage 35- O Logoso to Fisterra, 27.9 km
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
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
