Normal service will resume shortly

19/04/2019

As sometimes happens, life and plans (not to mention insane politics) get in the way of blogging, but now that a few things have sorted themselves out – a new contract, a postponement and an extension – things seem to be back on track again for the immediate future. So I can be off again … More Normal service will resume shortly

CF Day 18 – Reliegos to León

17/02/2019

What a relief to wake up and feel well! We were planning on an early getaway this morning to beat the heat, also because the trail, a senda-like gravel path next to the road, would be relatively easy to walk even in the dark and dusk. We were up and out before sunrise, which doesn’t … More CF Day 18 – Reliegos to León

CF Day 13 – Castrojeriz to Boadilla

09/02/2019

Doesn’t look too bad, does it? But as you get closer, you see how steep it is. Nothing else for it than to get up and over it though – we told ourselves the views would be good up there and powered on. And as expected, the views were wonderful! I kept stopping and turning … More CF Day 13 – Castrojeriz to Boadilla

CF Day 11 – Burgos to Hornillos

08/02/2019

We were not happy bunnies on the morning we had to leave lovely Burgos. Not at all. We managed to get a table by the window on the square overlooking the cathedral and had breakfast while discussing when to come back (soon) and how long to stay for (as long as possible). In the end … More CF Day 11 – Burgos to Hornillos

CF Day 10 – Burgos rest day

07/02/2019

Plan: Sleep in – check Visit cathedral – nope (queue too long) Visit museum of Human Evolution – eer … look, sunny square! Find tapas street for a meal – check Buy umbrella to shade from the sun on the meseta – check (purple) Drift around Burgos-watching – check Take lots of lovely photos to … More CF Day 10 – Burgos rest day

CF Day 9 – Atapuerca to Burgos

07/02/2019

Our goal for the day wasn’t just getting to Burgos, but finding the elusive River Route there! In 2012 I missed the turn and ended up walking along the unpleasant tarmac road around the airport, with no shade and no real shoulder to walk on. This time would be different. The Scouse Spouse was on … More CF Day 9 – Atapuerca to Burgos

CF Day 9 – BEDBUGS!

07/02/2019

I knew as soon as I woke up: Bedbugs. Oddly it seemed I was the only one bitten, I must be extra tasty? I have been bitten once before and freaked out quite badly about bringing them with me to new beds, and so far on this walk we had made sure we lifted the … More CF Day 9 – BEDBUGS!

CF Day 7 – Santo Domingo to Belorado

01/01/2019

We had decided to start early this morning, but ended up having a long and very nice chat with the man at reception, who was very impressed that we had so little luggage and carried it ourselves – the common room downstairs was already full of suitcases to be shipped to the next stage. After … More CF Day 7 – Santo Domingo to Belorado

CF Day 6 – Nájera to Santo Domingo de la Calzada

25/11/2018

A different start to our camino morning – going to the bus station to find the local bus back to Azofra to carry on from where the intrepid Scouse Spouse left off the day before. As it was, we couldn’t find it, or it had left or not yet arrived, at least nobody waiting for … More CF Day 6 – Nájera to Santo Domingo de la Calzada

CF Day 5 – Ventosa to Nájera

24/11/2018

The next day was cooler and we walked at a brisk pace through the undulating vineyards. There seemed to be very few pilgrims on the trail, I suppose Ventosa isn’t one of the main stops. We were happy enough being outside in the beautiful morning and didn’t really miss company.  As you get closer to … More CF Day 5 – Ventosa to Nájera
