Towns Along The Way – “F”
Welcome back! I hope you are enjoying this series and your memory is being refreshed! It certainly is helpful for me and interesting to see the many different types of accommodation being provided since I started walking way back in 2011. Hopefully, this won’t be the last “TATW” post of 2019 as I am on…
Some more walking while the evenings get darker..
It’s that time of year… I’ve seen the first Christmas trees. The advertisements have been playing on radio and TV for the last few months and people have started to get in to that frame of mind. Christmas! Of course, my mind is a million miles away and I’d rather be following arrows than making…
Camino Portugués – Dublin To Lisbon – Day 0
After a month of to-ing and fro-ing with the podiatrist, I wasn’t sure this Camino was going to happen. However, after getting the go-ahead from the podiatrist the week prior, my mind was put at ease. I still had over 300 km to walk. The morning of the flight was an early one. I woke…
Weekend Watch #58 – My Way – Camino de Santiago
We are back on the Camino Francés. One pilgrim has created a short video of his walk to Santiago. It is very difficult to package 800 kilometres in 6 minutes, but he has done a good job of it.
The next one – Camino de Madrid
Ok, I’m not counting my short walk in September when I walk from Lisbon for 10 days on the Camino Portuguese, but I am quietly preparing for next May. The Camino de Madrid is 315 km long and can be walked in about 2 weeks. It starts in Madrid and ends in Sahagún on the…
While in Santiago…
During my stay in Santiago, I had a chance to visit the Camino Companions team in Room 6 upstairs in the Pilgrim office. Camino Companions is an initiative of the Faithful Companions of Jesus Sisters. They offer a space to debrief, reflect and share on your experience of the Camino and prepare to return home….
Trailhead – City of the Saint
Trailhead or Tobias Panwitz is a singer-songwriter from Germany. He has recorded three albums and has toured throughout Germany, Europe, and Canada. One of his more recent collection of songs, Keep Walking, was born out of walking in Spain. Tracks 4, 5 and the title track are favorites of mine. A number of months ago,…
Since Friday..
Let me apologise! The intention was to keep you updated a little bit more than this but I was busy over the weekend. Here goes… The Camino Society held their first monthly walk of 2019 in Glencullen. There are tonnes of trails there and the Dublin Mountains Way runs through it. I won’t go into…
Weekend Watch #23 – One Minute Camino
Now that Christmas and New Year is over, I have finally arrived back to normality. I seemed to have let the Weekend Watch series drop for the last while so the first video of 2016 is from a guy who has been uploading one minute videos from his Camino. This is unique. What I like…
