Back in 2013 my husband and I cycled the Camino. Ever since then we've wanted to walk and had intended doing so in 2020. Well, we all know what happened then. We are now looking at walking at least from SJPdP to Pamplona this year. We were thinking of using a train to get from London to SJPdP...
Currently forced from doing anything active at the moment, I put my mind to updating my memoirs of our cycling trip when we rode from Bayonne in France to Santiago back in 2013. It was, and still remains, the most momentous trip of our lives and changed us both beyond recognition. We were hoping...
I rode the Camino Frances in 2013 with my husband and we have now uploaded a website of our experiences. If you're worried you might not manage that distance, or the hills, on a bike, think again. If I can do it, then anybody can. What you will learn along the way is more than truly amazing and...
At the end of July this year, we had completed our first (and hopefully not the last) Camino. If you are interested, you can find all about it at: www.jackiejohn.co.uk
If you wish to post there as well, you can register - let me know if you have any problems. I would dearly love any feedback...
Hi everybody,
We have finished our website on our trip to Santiago. We chose bikes because, well basically, we are cyclists. The whole trip has left us with a profound sense of awe and we wanted to share with you all. We hope you enjoy it. You can just check the website out, but if you wanted to...
About to pack everything to take, we have been wondering about the wisdom of packing sleeping bags. We are taking a tent, primarily because I get the impression that beds might be at a premium this time of year. Can we manage with just silk inner liners? I see that England is to have a heatwave...
I scoffed every time I came across an entry where someone said they were feeling worried about doing the trip. But yesterday I have to admit to feeling just a little scared now that we are almost there! All that planning. In the end, we brought the date forward from mid-August to beginning of...
We have decided, after much deliberation, to take our tent when we do the Camino on our bikes. For various reasons really. One thing we would like to know from other campers is: should we carry a small stove with us in order to make tea, etc.? Also, I suspect that there is no shortage of eating...
Greetings from two 'wannabe' cyclists who plan to ride the whole of the Camino de Santiago later this year. Consensus is to leave it until September/October although the heart says "go now". The idea of riding it was really quite sudden - just a matter of a few weeks ago. But over the past 10 or...
