CF Day 19 – León to San Miguel

February 18, 2019

Rest day! Yay! We slept in, then went for a small wander and had a late, lazy breakfast in the sunshine at our local León square. Then we browsed our guidebooks and itinerary plan. And … discovered we had a problem. When we planned the walk, the idea was to get a local bus past … More CF Day 19 – León to San Miguel

CF Day 18 – Reliegos to León

February 17, 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 17 – Sahagún to Reliegos

February 15, 2019

But it wasn’t over. It seemed the camino flu had rested too, and now it returned with a vengeance! I woke up in a cold sweat at stupid early in the morning, with a blistering headache and a dreadful feeling that something was seriously wrong. I tried to drink water but couldn’t hold it down, … More CF Day 17 – Sahagún to Reliegos

CF Day 16 – Ledigos to Sahagún

February 13, 2019

After a quick breakfast of café con leche, Aquarius and some bread and jamón, we made our way out in the dusk. I did feel better, though not great, and attributed it to going more or less without food for two days and having the camino flu. I loved being back on the road again … More CF Day 16 – Ledigos to Sahagún

CF Day 15 – Carrion to Ledigos

February 12, 2019

After a mostly sleepless night, on the positive side I knew for certain that I was not well. No way could I manage 17 kms with no place to rest and no facilities. The Scouse Spouse went off into the dusk while I carried on sleeping, hoping to stay in the room until midday if … More CF Day 15 – Carrion to Ledigos

CF Day 14 – Boadilla to Carrion de los Condes

February 10, 2019

I really don’t like walking in the dark. In the dusk I can do, so I can see my shadow slowly forming in front of me and try in vain to photograph the sunrise, but not in the dark, when you can’t see the ground or the landscape. Don’t like walking by flashlight either. But … More CF Day 14 – Boadilla to Carrion de los Condes

The 1000 Mile Challenge

February 10, 2019

I have signed up for the 1000 Mile Challenge again this year and have bought the badge to attract the attention of other ‘badgers’. The idea is that you choose your own walks, where and when you like, and log your miles (or kms) throughout the year, aiming to clock up at least 1000 miles … More The 1000 Mile Challenge
