    Your Favourite Photos

    Thanks Lise T, The only downside to this pic is it was it was taken on the iPhone and it hasn't given the best pixel quality. However it looks good on A4 size so a perfect present for my parents and bedside table picture for me to remind me of my achievement each night before I...

    Do I go solo?

    With out a doubt go solo :) Last year I decided to do it alone, it took me a long time to decide on this, I wanted to do it on my own and then doubt set in about how it would affect my relationship if I went alone. Then it was back to me doing it alone and then when the nerves set in once again...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_the_Milky_Way Discovered this song earlier on in the year before I started really thinking about doing the Camino, and now the more I listen to it I can't help thinking that it has been written about a journey on the Camino or at least makes me feel this...

    My planning so far, some help is probably needed

    My pack is huge, I bought this last year for going around Europe, and when it was full to the brim of all sorts of useless stuff it was no more than 12kg, and I carried that quite comfortable for long walks trying to locate hostels.
