    Boy Wonder

    Welcome George, Walking with your son. What a great experience. I wish you well. My youngest son walked Coast to Coast with me in the UK (West to East) and his elder brother and I walked Hadrian's Wall East to West. Great way to spend quality time with them. Not all plain sailing though, I...

    If You Only Had Time To Spend In One City: Porto vs. Lisbon

    Lisbon, is my most favourite City in Europe. With a little preparation, there is so much to see and do and you can avoid the crowds easily. Museu Calouste Gulbenkian arrive early and you can have it to yourself for an hour. Having spent time in both cities, Lisbon wins every time... You will...

    Are custom inserts worth it?

    Hello, I'm not a medic, so bear that in mind. In my experience inserts/orthotics are certainly an important part of the answer to managing knee issues. After a lifetime of running, tennis and a bit of contact sport and operations on both knees, I think I know where you're coming from. What...

    Camino Portugues after "my hardest Camino"

    Hello Kate, I used the Hoka boot last year when I walked from Porto to Santiago then on to Muxia and Finisterre. They worked really well for me, my boots were a whole size bigger than my feet and the store demonstrated a couple of ways of tying and lacing them - It stopped my feet sliding...
