All quiet on the Western Front Sheffield James. I trust you are well certainly missing your very detailed journey comments on the Levante. They are an invaluable source of up to date information, please keep them coming.
Buen Camino James. I will be setting off from Valencia on the 28th April, so any personal experiences and recommendations you have re. Albergues and signage will be invaluable. Enjoy ULTREIA.
Hi,
You will soon get used to my sense of humour. Yes when I return from the VDLP then the Camino Ingles, Muxia and Finisterre I go to Nijmegen in the Netherlands, their annual Vierdaagse March. Later in July I will walk Offa's Dyke Path for the 7th time it passes very close to my home.
I saw...
Hello Mum,
You know that I will be disappointed not to meet you this as I am sure you told me you are better looking than Jamilla.
But as you say you have not walked it yet.....................Better to do something once than talk about it a thousand times.............Asian Proverb
Yes yes yes a very happy Easter to one and all on the forum. If anyone has a problem with beer, wine, roast lamb or in fact anything in the food and drink line, please please let me know. My mother always said Keith be a good boy and never waste food and drink. Mums know best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Alex,

Hi Maryindigo,
To Maryindigo and your son you are a Very Important Person so please take no notice of any other persons point of view. It is not their Camino and they do not know you or what " rocks your boat ". Start in Sarria walk, talk and eat and drink with other pilgrims.
Enjoy your first...
Hi Scotsreb,
That's the way to start, full of confidence. We may have more years behind us than ahead of us, walked it last year in 27 days at 70 years old, but I am sure there is someone out there even quicker. Buses and taxi etc excluded, answers on a postcard please.
Hello skiingEngineer,
Never put off what you want to do today, because if you if you really enjoy it, you can do it again tomorrow and the next day..........................................

Hi Eli marie,
If you think that you are not fit spare a thought for the elderly out of shapes...................
I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start exercising.
I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors.

I would much prefer the ensemble in red please..................Red trousers....Red slippers.......Red Ummmmmmbrela........need to think about that one.
Hi Tia,
Look forward to possibly seeing you on Offas Dyke this year. When I return from VDLP I will walk it for my 7th time starting 25th July for 11 days. I live in Abergavenny, adopted Welsh from Torquay.
Croeso Cymru......................Keith.
But if you feel like a damn good scream then the Meseta is just the place. First you need to lose yourself before you can find yourself. I just love a gentle smile now and again, it does an old man tremendous benefits.
I just knew there was a song there somewhere....................................
"Spanish Eyes"
Blue spanish eyes
Teardrops are falling from your spanish eyes
Please, please don't cry
This is just adios and not goodbye
Soon I'll return
Bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please say si...
You do all go on about going wrong, almost a guilt complex, to quote CJ " I didn't get to where I am today worrying about what others say ".
When I am in Wales I am Welsh...........When I am in England I am still Welsh ( we love to hate them )..................When I am in Spain I am...
Hello David,
Last year I included Mont Saint Michel to Bordeaux as part of my walk from Wales to Santiago so if I can be of any help I'm here. In my opinion poles are not really necessary, I use them due to a load of metal work in my leg. The steepest hill you will encounter will be walking to...
