    1500 mile fund-raiser to Santiago (2012)

    Sadly i just read Sean H (bald in the middle on the pic) passed during 2019. I walked with him from Pamplona - Logrono 2016. Sean did some 6-7 Caminos from what i can remember and had the heaviest backpack ever :-)

    LIVE from the Camino Buy earplugs if the snoring annoys you...

    At Roncevalles we did not sleep due to all the devilish snorers and ear-plugs do not work, sadly. The snorers should all be put in the same room in my opinion. Next time we will happily pay for private rooms every other night. Buen Camino
