John & me

Join our full-service guided tour of the Basque Country and let us pamper you!
Today I meet John Brierley. He published his first book in 2004. I published this site the same year.

We have a few things in common.

Was great meeting him!

Bet you had lots of interesting things to discuss ,very pleased you had a rewarding time together.
 
Ivar and me.. :) When I arrived in Santiago some time ago, I (nearly) accidentally went past Ivar's office. Of course I rang the doorbell and voila, there he was! So nice to meet him and thank him for this splendid forum and so nice to have a conversation in Norwegian. Hyggelig å møte deg, Ivar! Tulle.

The second I got on the train to leave Santiago, I realized I had completely forgotten to stop by and thank Ivar! Oh well, next time I'll make it my first stop!
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
Kudos to both of you for all you have done, over the past decade, to take stress out of the Camino experience, so we pilgrims can focus on the spiritual aspects of the journey rather than worrying about whether we packed right, will be able to stay on the path and will land a bed for the night. Many thanks, Ivar and John! Here's to the next ten years!!
 
I would have loved to have been sat quietly in a corner while this was going on. A pity JW wasn't there too.
I'm sure JW was out walking his "Not So Gently Rolling Hills of Spain" :)

Ivar , I made it a point to see JW last year but I did not think of stopping to see you :(. I will correct that over site this September.

Happy Trails. Urban T
