Taxis seem to be a recurring theme here suddenly. A mix of recently problematic osteoarthritis in both knees, Plantar Fasciitis and weather meant we did taxi more than last time, but as we weren’t going for another Compostela and were really on a memory lane walk, it was something we were okay with. And if … More CF Spring 17: Day 4, Camponaraya-Villafranca
Day three started with much better weather, though it was still a bit cool and the clouds looked ready to provide rain or snow again. We had a little bit of breakfast and chatted with the few others who lingered after 8, a German speaking couple and our Americans. Then off we went, for Part … More CF Spring 17: Day 3, Acebo-Ponferrada
On the second day of our walk we woke up to blue skies and wet ground. It seemed yet again the forecast rain had been and gone, and we were confidently clad in short sleeved tops under fleece and padded jackets, ready to peel off the layers as the day warmed up. After a couple … More CF Spring 17: Day 2, Rabanal-Acebo
Yes, we are back again. (Though I seem to have completely forgotten exactly why.) Things were a bit turbo on re-entry into Normal, more of which later. Promise. As usual we had decided to walk from Astorga to Santiago, 12 days of walking and a day and a half in Santiago plus travel. Everything was … More CF Spring 17: Day 1, Astorga-Rabanal
Apologies for sloppy blogging. Since my last post I have visited Rome and Alicante and am currently packing for Oslo, where I will attend a book launch, have a huge traditional Norwegian Christmas dinner with friends and show new peregrina S around town in less than a day. No pressure there, then. As for walking, … More PCB Prevention Attempts
When we woke up on Day Four, S told me straight away that she wouldn’t be able to walk any further. She had overdone it, causing huge clusters of blisters and also not slept, eaten or drunk enough so she felt really run down. She had been a right little trooper, but the Camino can … More Camino 16: Day Four – Melide to Arzua
Now most Camino veterans or just pre-walk nerds will notice that this was not an 18 km day, far from it! As we left Eirexe on a beautiful cool morning on gently sloping tarmac, 25 kms looked like a good idea. Melide not being a typical Brierley stop also sounded like a good idea. Unfortunately … More Camino 16: Day Three – Eirexe to Melide
