    Estella Ice Makers

    I'm very fond of the Eugenio Monesma YT channel. Today I stumbled on this entry concerning an old craft being recreated in the vicinity of Estella. The Camino memories came flooding back and I just had to share it... Most times I think I'm too old to hit the track again. But sometimes...

    Regordane/Saint-Gilles

    Hi all. The Nomad's adventure in Umbria has got me thinking of alternatives, but I'm still drawn back to Le Puy, though this time for the Regordane Way. Maybe in the future I could continue on from its end to begin the Way of Arles, but since I'm likely only to have weeks at my disposal...

    CHEAT'S ALIGOT

    Those of us who've tramped the Chemin du Puy, especially in sleet and snow, will have fond memories of aligot. It's the cheesy mashed potato of the Aubrac, prepared differently from town to town, but always involving garlic, spuds and cheese. Recipes usually call for a bit of skill and fuss...

    Blogging My Latest Dawdle

    Hi pilgrims I'm home in the bush, after completing the Frances, as well as taking a wander to Portugal, then back up the coast to Fisterra. No overtaking, of course. Some Korean chick in Carrion tried to fall behind me, but I'm wise to that. My blog is now being gradually extended, for those...

    Dawdling along

    Hi to all Am in Belorado, and moving slow, (hey, what did you expect?). Weather last week was glacial, these last days have been radiant. The camino frances is all but deserted. I almost miss the snorers...almost. What can I say? Winter caminos rock, but in a James Taylor way. Most pilgrims...

    Decision made

    Hi pilgrims Heaps of reasons against, as usual, but I'm off to finish the Camino Frances, starting from Pamplona late January. The present plan is to extend by walking down the coast to Porto, a reverse Portugues. I've paid fares etc. No pulling back. I'm as nervous as an Australian opening...

    Trigodina truffle farm. Now harvesting.

    Hi all. I know it's a little late in the year for pilgrims, but, for anyone in the vicinity of Cahors, the Trigodina gite and truffle farm are having a boom harvest of truffles. The owner, Remy, has just contacted me and sent photos. I've blogged it here. http://slowcamino.wordpress.com/2010/12...

    Setting off late March

    Hi all. I'm Rob from Australia. 61 this May. Hoping to leave from Le Puy about March 24 to arrive in St Jean before mid-May. I'll have a light but complete pack. I know I'm starting early, but I'd rather snow than heat, though I train in heat. The experience of a May heat-wave in Siena, when I...

    I'm Robert

    I'm from the mid-coast of NSW. Fairly old but fairly fit. I'm planning to do the French chemin from Le Puy to St Jean starting early April. The heat and crowds would be bit of a prob for me in the peak, even though I train in heat here. Because I have an increasing acreage of a certain...
