A lovely 20 km hike today in the Glenmalure area, started from Baravore, then up the Fraughan Rock Glen, onto Camenabologue, across to Table Mountain and the Black Banks, dropped down to 3 Lakes and then back to Baravore by the length of Glenmalure Valley. Brought along a bottle of Rioja for our lunch stop near 3 Lakes just to get the body conditioned for the hardships to come when I arrive in St. Jean next Thursday. :rolleyes:

Last pre camino training hike on a cold Sunday morning but with some nice warm sunshine in the afternoon saw a 20 km route starting like yesterday at Baravore then up Glenmalure valley to Table track, then climbed Camenabologue and Lugnaquillia before decending back to Baravore via Clogherenagh and Art's Lough. As usual, link is to a F.B. album of shots from todays hike.
4 sleeps to go before the flight from Dublin to Biarritz. Has time ever passed so slowly? If anyone has Stephen Hawking's number let me know as I need some expert information on the true nature of time.

Just a short walk today but up (and down)a steep hill. It would qualify for Johnny Walker's description "cardio-vascular exercise" :)
An average of 1:4 over 1.5 k. The steepest bit is 1:2. Really gives the leg muscles a workout when carrying a 6 kilo pack.
Excellent views at the top over to Dartmoor.

Blessings on your (and our) training!

Some, and with luck, some more.
Went for a walk around the Mendip Hills in SW England today and walked through a wooded hillside smothered in wild garlic, the aroma was overwhelming. A little later climbed another hill and looked out over the Bristol Channel towards Wales.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Big believer in setting myself 2 or 3 demanding walking/ hiking challenges yearly, last year was a bad year when I failed in completing 2 of my 3 challenges, this year I was very determined to make up for that, set 4 targets and this was my 4th ( to complete the 50 miles in less than 14 hours ) target and to the great relief of my ageing body, was successful in all 4.
Have a great camino pilgrim b

WOW, that's what I call a dinner :D:D:D
What was the place you were staying for the night? Have you eaten in the same place? What were the prices?
Sorry if I'm too curious but it sure looks fantastic...
I stayed in Pension Codesal on Calle Codesal, on the road parallel to Calle Codesal, there is one cafe/ bar which is where I had dinner, it wasn't menu del dia but around €16 including a cafe con leche, coke and orujo if I remember correctly.

What about beer??? I can't remember you've mentioned it even once and coming from Ireland :eek:

May I ask you how much weight did you lose on this last Camino. I mean the distances are way out of my comfort zone and at 24,5km/day average in 2011 I did loose 18kilos...

Anyway thanks for sharing your Camino with us!!!

K, probably had about 5 beers during this camino, usually after a particularly long day when I was planning an easier day to follow, for some reason I found that having beer made me very sluggish the following morning while while an orujo or a glass of wine didn't seem to have the same effect.

Lost 6.5 kgs by the time I returned but think there was an increase in muscle mass so fat loss was probably a little more than that figure, walking the distances I was, I tried very hard to hit 5,000 calories a day in my consumption.

Not so much of the walking this weekend but I was hardly a slug.
18090126065_0ff5a67e68_z.jpg

My coach tends to pair me up with the big blokes because I am tall and I can take the falls. Most of them have 20 kg if not more on me. Which is why I look so knackered having come off lots of rounds of randori, about 100 Japanese pushups and blasted bunnyhops. My quads are protesting a little today. But at least I didn't throw up! (Unlike a couple of others who were feeling more than a little green).

Frances Fall '09 ;
I have been enjoying walking on the beach at Seal Cove, Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick, Canada for a week. It is a absolutely beautiful spot and has restored my soul after the horrible winter we endured. A bit sad to be heading home tomorrow but happy to see my husband and cat. We are about to downsize within the next 16 months - from a five bedroom house to a two bedroom apartment to suit our advancing years. So lots to do and reading this forum helps me keep my fall 09 camino and what it meant to me.

I have been walking 5-8 kms trying to strengthen my ankle. Ankle problems forced me to abort my Portuguese camino a year ago. I still have plans of returning to the Camino Francis to walk Astorga to SdC within the next two years.

I walked round the battlefield of Waterloo, 200 years to the day after the battle. Sobering, on the champ noir, tragique plaine, to think of all those who died here, but exhilarating, going round its "cirque de bois, de coteaux, de vallons" to reflect on over 70 years of peace in western Europe, where "la pâle mort" no longer "mêlait les sombres battalions".

Met with @thehappyhermit (s) 2 weeks ago and walked round and above the Cerne Abbas Giant. Cannot actually see him from close up but only from the view point across the valley.
At home today we found these arrows, meant for a road race. We really liked the 'last hill' sign. :)

Camino Frances (Sept/Oct. 2015)
Walked an 18 km mountain trail in Strathcona Park on Vancouver Island. It drizzled off and on and started to get a bit foggy by the end. I kept telling myself, if I can do this I can do the Camino, it was the only thing that kept me going. Well that and I had no option to quit !!! It was the final hill through the parking lot to my car that almost killed me.

Well, I can't believe I haven't seen this thread before. Have just spent quite a bit of time here looking at all the photos instead of doing other Sunday night things I 'ought' to have been doing... I loved so many of the photos, from so many varied places, though I probably had a special soft spot for the Glendalough ones in Ireland since I spent a few lovely summer days around there in 2006.

Myself, I have been quite lazy with walking since I got back from my walk in Umbria in April- but now the daylight is lengthening out towards spring, I am inspired to get out there again. This weekend I did a short section of our city walkways here at home in Palmerston North, starting on the Bledisloe track, which is where this little footbridge is. The second photo is taken from the bridge over the Manawatu River, taken as I headed back to my car for the ride home. MargaretDSC00442.jpg

About 20 klicks from my apartement near Ilbiarritz to les Halles in Biarritz and back, the number of tourists, surfer and beach goers is beyond estimation. Most of them are here this week to enjoy the Fete du Bayonne which start the middle of next week.
You can run with the bulls several nights if you wish, but in this case to protect the public they are young bulls with big horns. Oh, well.

So, Wayfarer when will you return to Biarritz?
I am here until 15.8 when I walk out of town for another 20 days.

After a long break I had a nice walk today. Steep mountains, waterfalls and a nice place to have some snacks.

Today I walked (vicariously with the help of Gunnar W's lovely videos) from St Jean to Castrojeriz, these were shot in September 2011 and every place is so brown and dusty, a bit of a change from April/May 2012 when everything was green and often muddy, they brought back great memories. I am on antibiotics for a nasty chest bug so I thought a long walk on the Camino would do me good.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

On Monday we took three of our grand-kids in the camper to Fanore beach in north Clare. On Tuesday morning I took the two older ones, 11 and 8, for a walk up the Caher Valley, after about three K's we crossed the Caher river and started to walk up towards Murrooghkilly "Mountain". We were gone only about 100 mts when out of nowhere ran two alpaca's in full attack mode, necks out ears laid back. The local farmer probably uses them to guard his sheep from dogs and foxes but they hadn't got the memo on humans and attacked straight away. I had nothing to fend them off only my baseball cap so we beat a slow rearguard action all the way back to the river crossing. The kids were scared stiff and as I hadn't ever experienced this before the old heart rate definitely spiked but we escaped unscathed except for my granddaughter who fell on a large thistle, the walk was abandoned for the day but the war story is still being told by the kids.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Managed to get 15 km in today touring in downtown Frankfurt and then walking around a fest being held for our 127 year old train station. Trying to up my km count each day, even if it is just a little bit. Since I walk for a living as a tour guide, walking 10-12 km is easy and I do it on a regular basis about 4-6 times a week. Longer walks are something else though and I have yet to manage 25 km (that I know of as I have only had my FitBit since May.)

A wet walk along the Dart and across the heritage railway line. I thought of calling it 'Devon's answer to the FEVE', or 'An unusual obstruction on the path'.

I have spent since Sunday last walking in the Pyrenees with my fifteen year old grandaughter. Morning walks when the temprature is still low, the scenery is stunning and the daytime temps are around 25 -26c. The inclines are very steep but the views are worth it. Home tomorrow.
Should be fit enough for another Camino now. :)
