    Any gyms on CF with day passes?

    Brands of tea in Spain

    Mamma mia! That generosity above and beyond!🥹thank you so much. If I can keep up my training and get work to agree a sabbatical then I could well accept your amazing offer… but then that would mean I wouldn’t meet you on the Camino!

    Hiking Trailers, with pics, and making your own!

    Hi all I’m hoping to do the Camino next year and I’d love a hiking trailer. 2022 now and still no sign of the Hipstar 🥹.
