Hi
This does surprise me. I know it was used at noon mass on wed 19th and Thurs 20th October and will be done routinely tonight at 7.30pm mass. I saw the men practising earlier in the day. Very dramatic! On to Finisterre today. Beautiful walk ...
Hi Steven. I will look out for you. I have whitefish hair and my rucksack is red, black trousers, faded, and smoky green shirt. It is all becoming a bit real now!

Just found some really comfortable Saloman Escambia gortex shoes. I am feeling more confident. Thank you everyone for the encouragement. I realise I am feeling really quite anxious!
Hi
I am starting from SJPDP on 15th September. I have vulnerable feet(historical metatarsalgia) and need new shoes. I have tried on lots but feel most comfortable in some trail walking shoes which are not waterproof. So many walking shoes feel like walking in wooden boards, as my foot cannot...
