    Wild swimming

    Hi I walked the CF in 2021, as I did it August (I know.......) it was a tad warm, I found that sticking my legs into any river, or, the concrete aqueducts that lined many of the fields worked wonders.....

    Poets, thinkers, makers and creators on the Camino

    Hi, I can't remember where it was, but I found a small "hippy" commune, where they were so accommodating, home made cake, fresh tea, & the most relaxed environment, they had created a small labyrinth that ended with a peaceful view thru a valley, the bloke who ran it, was a fellow brit, called...
