Everyone arrived safely. Lots of getting to know each other conversations, greeting old friends and making new ones. We’re not in Spain but in honour of the fact that we are walking the Camino Inglese – the English way – which has Santiago as its distant destination – we enjoyed a Spanish tapas meal toContinue reading “Tapas!”

Settling and sorting
John and I arrived early. There is lots to sort out – food, finalising rooms, going over the pilgrimage route. As we are ferrying people with cars, the parking needed checking. Google maps didn’t give us all the info needed and plans have been adjusted. And now we are just waiting for everyone to arrive.Continue reading “Settling and sorting”
One day to go!
A busy day today! So tried to keep my steps-count up in 3 bits. Hoovered the car… Does that count? Long shadows and the fields looking resplendent in the late evening sun.
A different kind of walk today

Must get fit
10 days to go! Are we ready??
30th May ‘22 – Our last online Zoom. For each of us this a very personal journey. But we don’t make this pilgrimage on our own. We have a wonderful group going together.
I’ve been walking…but not blogging
This blog was almost entirely forgotten – by me! What a shame, as since my last post, I have done loads of walking – Cornwall, Peak District, Northumberland, Wales, etc. etc. Now I’m getting ready for a new challenge. Instead of my usual walking by myself, this is a 3 day pilgrimage I’m leading –Continue reading “I’ve been walking…but not blogging”
