    Thank you RE: My Photographic Blog.

    Yesterday was a major milestone for me, in that my Photographic Blog just passed the 40,000 visitor mark. I started this blog just a few years ago so that a few close friends could follow my journey. Then I knew nothing about creating a blog. Slowly and sometimes painfully I learned the process...

    The R. L. Stevenson Route GR70

    I have walked it. Lovely route. I had no accom booked before I started but then booked one to two days in advance. Because my knowledge of French is very very limited I would get owner of the Gite de Etape (hikers hostel) I was staying in to book ahead for me and if one place was full they would...

    Thoroughly depressing

    I started on the first of February 2016, done the Astorga this time. It was great, I attach a link of a short Youtube slide show I made. Pour a glass of Spanish Wine and enjoy the Virtual journey.

    Farewell to Leonard Cohen

    Saw him in my native Sligo about 7 years ago, it is where his favourite Poet Yeats spent so much time. There is a video I watched last night and it won't be a hit with all Cohen fans but I think it is priceless. It is almost like Cohen doing "Karaoke". It is filmed in Dublin Ireland and is...

    A good use of your Camino Walking Sticks!!

    I am amazed and slightly bemused where my innocent thread on the use of walking sticks is going. I think they have found another set of legs and are going in many different directions other than been framed on someones wall. Ah well "Se la Vie"

    A good use of your Camino Walking Sticks!!

    Yes indeed the options are endless, some of the best idea's are the simplest ones, all that one has to add is imagination So no more of having to leave your sticks behind.

    A good use of your Camino Walking Sticks!!

    Recently I walked the Camino Primitivo and for a few days walked with some Lithuanian ladies. Both of them were using walking sticks they had picked up along the way. We were talking about the problems of bringing them back on Aircraft. They were two "Visual Artists" and they had a simple but...

I photographed this image of myself recently on the Camino Primitivo high in the hills of Asturias between Berducedo and Grandas de Salime.It is a "Brocken Specture" or the technical...

    Are we making it all too easy?

    Great thread. I do think people want too much information and plan in huge detail. They may think it gives them freedom when they know what to expect I don't think it does. It can give a comfortable experience, it just depends what you want in a Camino. Some info is useful but keep it to a...
