Good to be Walking Again

Despite the late night we were up and out just after 07:30 this morning, with the street lights guiding our way until it got light. Could have easily spent another night in Leon, so much to see andOkumaya devam et
A Little Bit of Climbing
6 Ekim 2024, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
I suppose this morning was payback for all the times the forecast said there was a 50% chance of rain and yet it never did. We had light rain on and off and a stiff breeze for the first 3 miles,Okumaya devam et

This misty but windless morning we left the busy roads behind and set out for the hills. Although, we did follow a road for about half the day, it was far quieter. For periods the only sound was ourOkumaya devam et
A Very Long Decent

Straight out of the hostel this morning we were into a 350m climb up to the Cruz de Ferro (the iron cross) which is almost the highest point on the Camino. We set off at 07:15, so by the time it gotOkumaya devam et
The Last of the Long Walks

Then all of a sudden it was 9 days left. Single figures seemed a distant thing for so long but now here we are. I really need to make even more effort to take in every day now as it feels as though weOkumaya devam et
A Steep Old Climb

I slept really well last night, a combination of a very nice bed in the parador we stayed in and the exertions of the last couple of days meant a very sound night's sleep.

A Day of Ups and Downs

Carol didn't feel at all well this morning so I set off on my own to get today's walk out of the way as quickly as possible so I could spend more time with her at today's destination.

The forecast reversed itself again today, it was supposed to be dry but we had on and off light showers for the first 7 miles. Though somehow it didn't seem to matter as we walked through verdantOkumaya devam et
The Final Rest Day

Our final day off before Santiago. This is the first of the 4 days rest days were I've I actually thought that I'd have preferred to continue walking today. Especially as I was fully awake before 7am.Okumaya devam et

This is the final push, the last 5 days, that have come round remarkably quickly. Seems hard to believe we started over a month ago. The routine has become a way of life I can see how some people justOkumaya devam et
Dodged the Rain

It's only taken four weeks but I've finally stopped looking at my watch, thinking about the pace we are doing, how far we have gone, how far there is to go, what time we are going to get in. WellOkumaya devam et
Ahead of the Crowd

It was raining as we set out this morning, which did have one benefit. It seems that the new recruits weren't too keen on walking in the rain and the dark which meant no procession this morning, weOkumaya devam et
The Penultimate Day of Walking
17 Ekim 2024, Ispanya ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
The last 26 miles to go and two days to do them. I did suggest having just one long walk and banging it all out today, but Carol wasn't having any of it. I thought it would have been really nice toOkumaya devam et
The Last Walk

This is the final day of our trip, 42 days since we set off for Biarritz and today was the first day I struggled to get out of bed. Two days off on the trot is already making me lazy.
