    Bucket List - What we must plan to not miss on the Way?

    It's not what to see: make it up as you go along. It's who'll you meet - many friends you never knew you had. Buen Camino.

    Poetry for the Camino

    Don't know much poetry, but I've liked this one ever since I first read it (many years ago): The Road goes ever on and on Out from the door where it began, Now far ahead the Road has gone, Let others follow it who can! Let them a journey new begin, But I at last with weary feet Will turn...

    Apologies to the Walkers

    The trouble with bicycles is that they are so quiet! I remember when I was a child (a dim and distant memory!), we would use a clothes-peg to peg a piece of stout cardboard to the bike-frame so that the card played in the rear spokes. It made it sound like we had an engine (you could do two and...

    What are the most useful apps for the iPhone for use on the Camino?

    Most useful app? Flight Mode! I find mobile phones a curse and a blessing. I used mine mostly as a camera, but got annoyed as incoming texts, e-mail and other notifications came in and disturbed the peace. When I got home, my daughter suggested Flight Mode. Clever girl, that one. Chip off...

    Two Stamps for the last 100 kms

    Trepidatious Wife

    I plan on doing the Frances one day. I would like my wife to accompany me. So, this year we did the last half of the Potuguese Way, from Tui to Santiago, staying in hotels. It was so we both could get a flavour of the Camino, and to show Mrs Biff that it could be fun, interesting and to prove...

    Wine: Your favorite, and where you drank it

    Curse you!! Why didn't you ask before I went on my Camino?? Now I'll have to do another so I can make wine notes for you ...... Best go tell Mrs Biff .... ;) Biff PS. Best wine we had was at the hotel in Arcade. Unfortunately, it didn't have a label. It was red.
