The boots dilemma has concluded

Posted on 30/04/2022 by magwood

It’s been so long…

Posted on 19/04/2022 by magwood

…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!

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 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 22/05/2017 by magwood

Posted on 21/05/2017 by magwood
