    Michael Portillo serves pilgrim lunch

    Oh I enjoy his railway series I will have to look out for this episode, I can think of worse people to have lunch with I guess, he was my MP for many years and met him many many times and he was always a well informed and capable man and solved several of our issues locally, but I think I would...

    Why mention miles when Europe uses km's ?

    indeed my allotment is 10 rod or to those outside the allotment world here in the uk about 250sq meters, I was told by a fellow gardener the way they measure a rod/perch etc is reputedly the distance from the back of the plough to the nose of the oxen..

    Dogs

    The one thing I will really miss on my Camino is my dog, so i'm hoping I can at least have a bit of a smooth and a belly tickle with random dogs along the way, I used to volunteer at a local dog shelter so are quite used to weird and aggressive behaviour from our canine friends. If my boarder...

    I worked the summer many years ago in a youth hostel just outside Hay-on-Wye, I would spend all day Tuesday( my day off) spending all my wages on books, I worked all summer in order to save, alas all I had to show for it were a couple of hundred books, an no where near the amount I needed to...

    Searching secondhand book shops for Camino books.

    Yes I do, I love nothing more than rummaging around a bookshop, I loose myself for hours, and all excited when finding a book that went out of print years ago, the slightly dusty disorganised feel, but above all I love the smell of a second hand book shop

    Where did you walk today?

    I have the opposite problem with my boarder collie, she is ball obsessed, she will run up to complete strangers and place the ball at their feet and expect them to throw it, I spend most of my time in the park apologising to strangers and explaining to her that not everybody want to play ball...

    Where did you walk today?

    Well I'm home in South Wales this weekend, so I walked about 18Km along the Glamorganshire coastal path, its been about 3 years since I did this part of the Wales Coastal Path, its been a bit like memory lane as I used to play here as a child( or a teenager causing mischief) this is a rather...

    Where did you walk today?

    Oh I miss living by the coast , i used to be able to see Weston-Super-Mare using my binoculars from my bedroom window as a child from across the water in south wales, I always told myself when i grow I would go to the far more sophisticated land across the water. ;) Well yesterday I had a...

    Lent on the Camino - what would you give up?

    I originally planned to walk from April 2nd, but realised that during Lent it would be cruel on my fellow walkers if I went without chocolate and haribo sweets, i'm moody enough when tired and hungry on a normal day let alone after walking 25k..
