Today it was forecast to rain but not one drop appeared, although there was another downpour in the night. The air perfect for walking, Neill, John and I set off through the town. The route again had a variant, the easier path via the coast and the harder route. I chose the difficult one leavingContinue reading “Camino del Norte Day 5 – Zarautz to Deba”

It was 2100h by the time I was all booked in and straightContinue reading “Camino del Norte Day 1 – Bayonne to Guéthary”

It can be found here: Over this pilgrimage I filmed longer videos and narrated themContinue reading “TSW Compilation Video”
