    Snoring

    Just finished walking the CF then cycling the CP. Never once wore earplugs, to be fair I’ve never worn them in my life. I’m an extremely light sleeper, too. Maybe because I’ve been on call most of my life, I always had to be *alert* to waking up and have never needed an alarm in the morning. On...

    ...On Being Short...

    Those short Peruvian porters on the Inca Trail. Practically running up and down those rock steps carrying 25kg packs with no sticks. 😱💪🏆

    The truth about Camino fashion

    Lol I did U.S. and U.K. cross country charity bike rides where they gave us "team jerseys" to wear. Most people had spares (and I would have too in the U.K. had I not had Romain Bardet's whole Tour de France team autograph my spare). But I washed / wore the same one every day on both rides. A...

    The truth about Camino fashion

    Lol I spent about an hour yesterday figuring out a way that my little Montbell down blanket with all its snaps could be worn as a down vest - just in case.
