Holding my packing nerve

22/08/2019

I am currently sitting in Torp airport in the south of Norway, waiting for my flight home. I will have three days to get some extra training walks, wearing the clothes I will be walking in, and finalise the packing before I fly out again. Toiletries, odds and ends will be put in, taken out, … More Holding my packing nerve

New adventure coming soon!

17/08/2019

You may have noticed that there is a counter on this blog steadily ticking down to another adventure. Not long now before I fly off to France to meet peregrina extraordinaire Colleen, of Are We There Yet? blog fame. We will spend a day walking, lunching, no doubt talking a lot about caminos past and … More New adventure coming soon!

CF Sola 19, Day 13: Pedrouzo-Santiago

14/08/2019

When I woke up, it was just me and another girl left in the room. Karen and all the others had snuck out very quietly to get an early start. Too early for me as I refuse to walk in the dark, but I couldn’t blame them for wanting to beat the heat. I could … More CF Sola 19, Day 13: Pedrouzo-Santiago

CF Sola 19, Day 12: Arzúa-Pedrouzo

14/08/2019

Seeing as there were so few people in my albergue, I had a leisurely start. I then went back to the same café I left the night before, for a good cup of coffee and a bite to eat. Then in came the gentleman who shared a room with Karen and I in Melide, the … More CF Sola 19, Day 12: Arzúa-Pedrouzo

CF Sola 19, Day 11: Melide-Arzúa

14/08/2019

Karen and I left semi early from our albergue in Melide, and it was shaping up to be another wonderfully sunny day. I took a photo of That Turning on the way out of Melide, also famously the cover of Mark McCarthy’s guidebook to the last part of the camino. The path was – is … More CF Sola 19, Day 11: Melide-Arzúa

CF Sola 19, Day 10: Portos-Melide

20/06/2019

After a rather lovely breakfast of eggs and bacon at the Formiga, I hit the road at a leisurely pace. It was another lovely day for walking – not too hot, not too cold, not to sunny, not too windy, in fact just right. When I got to Palas de Rei, I sat down outside … More CF Sola 19, Day 10: Portos-Melide

CF Sola 19, Day 9: Portomarin-Portos

18/06/2019

When I woke up, the dorm was practically empty again. I had a chat to Helen in the bed next to me, a lovely bubbly lady who started in Sarria and was already loving it. We ended up having a coffee together before starting out, and kept each other company through the day. It was … More CF Sola 19, Day 9: Portomarin-Portos
