    Farewell to Leonard Cohen

    One of my hobbies is playing the piano, and one of my very favourite pieces was Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. I have played it several times over the last couple of days in memory of Leonard. Farewell and RIP, your music will live on and you brought a lot of people a lot of enjoyment.

The weather was pretty hot and although I had worn my shoes in prior to doing the walk, my feet swelled in my shoes and I got blisters.

    Just how difficult is it getting over The Pyrenees..

    Hi all. I am planning on walking the Camino starting in mid June 2016. I am quite an experienced bush walker so I plan to walk SJPP to Roncesvalles on the first day. I will be walking by myself so my query regarding this section of the walk is; How well is the track sign posted? I am guessing it...
