I was asleep the instant my head hit the pillow – it had been a long day. I was out the door at 8.30am heading back to the bus stop, but my luck with the public transport hadn’t changed. There was only one bus to Granja de Moreruela, and it leaves at 4pm. I hadContinue reading “Camino Sanabrés Day 1 – Tábara”

Best Laid Plans and All
Not the ideal start to this years Camino. The train down to Gatwick was running 20mins late but with no rush to be at the accommodation I’d booked, I just went with the flow. I had booked an en-suite in a guest house, 20 min walk from the airport. I dumped my stuff and wentContinue reading “Best Laid Plans and All”
2025 Hawkshead Adventure
Day One For a change this year, we decided to spend a week in Hawkshead rather than Keswick – also we’ve gone Monday to Monday this time. The M6 was flowing and after a leisurely drive up we got to Windermere, at 1300h we stocked up at the supermarket before moving on to Hawkshead. JustContinue reading “2025 Hawkshead Adventure”
I Can Hear the Soft Sound of Stones Crunching Underfoot
Firstly, I’ve done a little video of my recent one day walk with the British Pilgrimage Trust. Not quite on the scale of my Norte one, but it will kill 6 mins of your time. It can be found here: With completing my video and doing a fair bit of walking in the current springContinue reading “I Can Hear the Soft Sound of Stones Crunching Underfoot”
BPT – West Stow to Bury St. Edmunds
This was my first guided pilgrimage with the British Pilgrimage Trust. A charity that has a goal of revitalising the ancient British pilgrim routes. My mum joined me on this walk and we met everyone at the train station, where we caught lifts from fellow pilgrims to St. Mary’s at West Stow. A quaint littleContinue reading “BPT – West Stow to Bury St. Edmunds”
Wolf and Water Day Pilgrimage
The New Year has been and gone, the frigid weather is on it’s way out, and I’m itching to get on another thru hike or pilgrimage. I had some leave to use up before I lose it at the end of the financial year. Looking at the rota I managed to add on two daysContinue reading “Wolf and Water Day Pilgrimage”
Out of the Comfort Zone
It has been a manic couple of months since finishing the Camino del Norte and over the last week I have finally found time to put together a video of this amazing journey. In the past I have thrown together a few clips, slapped some music on and posted it to the interweb. However thisContinue reading “Out of the Comfort Zone”
Camino del Norte Day 38 – Santiago de Compostela
Despite having a room to myself and the chance to stay in bed, I was still on the Camino clock and up at 7am. I had a shower, a luxury to have first thing in the morning. It seems an age ago since I was able to start the day with one – it wasContinue reading “Camino del Norte Day 38 – Santiago de Compostela”
Camino del Norte Day 37 – O Pedrouzo to Santiago de Compostela
It had to be the quickest 20km I had done, the last day was over in a blink of an eye. The best thing is, we beat the rain! We had to be out of the albergue by 0800h, and due to some early risers, we were out the door by 0715h. The route isContinue reading “Camino del Norte Day 37 – O Pedrouzo to Santiago de Compostela”
Camino del Norte Day 36 – Arzúa to O Pedrouzo
It really was a culture shock today after spending weeks seeing so few people and little places to stop. The way being full of peregrinos and cafes almost every 2km, feels like a different world. Another very late start. We were the last out the albergue and we headed straight to a cafe for breakfast.Continue reading “Camino del Norte Day 36 – Arzúa to O Pedrouzo”
