Buen camino, Sagalouts brother, @kitchendavid . I was thinking of him just the other day now here he 'is'. I had some fun times on the forum with Sagalouts. I was sorry when he passed.
Blessings on your day.

Yesterday I went for a very long walk from Dymchurch on Romney Marsh in a round-about way through the fields and across dykes to Newchurch. The footpaths after Newchurch had been ploughed over so from there I footed it along a couple of country lanes to St Rumwold's Church, returning to Hythe...
About 4 weeks...I was in an isolated spot in the Bugey foothills (Eastern France) following le Voie d'Assise when I tested positive. I wasn't able to self-isolate where I found myself as the building was cold and I couldn't obtain food. So, I got myself out of mountains and holed up for a...

The 'Amis de Compostelle, France" have an office in Paris - a 2 km walk from the Tour de St Jacques. They welcome pilgrims from Monday to Saturday. If one turns up in person, there is a credencial and booklet available. I seem to remember there being guide books for sale as...
Hello again.
...as I was following the Zittau Camino through the green belt of Prague and into the countryside, I came across several volunteers pruning fruit trees. They told me about a wonderful initiative to map out all the wild and abandoned fruit and nut trees in Prague. At harvest time...

Bonjour @Coverbid
One possibility is to walk the GRP Littoral du Léman from Chens-Sur-Leman to St Gindolph (See pdf attached). Then find another walk from there to Aigle.
With regards to accommodation, here is a link to a website listing all the refuges and gîtes d'ètape (hostals) in France...
...the other day I traced a grand circuit from the pebble beach at Hythe up to Peene then along the North Downs via a radio mast to the tiny village of Postling. Walking pilgrims occassionally find sanctuary in the old church, sleeping on uneven, cold tombstones. The descent to Hythe...
...passing days: walking the levels and farmland from behind Lydd (Romney Marsh) via Camber Beach and Rye to Winchelsea... a couple of days with sunny flashes, sudden rain, bitter winds, and poor wee shivering lambs.
Before setting off I had breakfast in the bakery at Lydd... which turned...
