    LIVE from the Camino St Jean to Muxia in 20 days - or less !!

    Hello everyone. Its now been 12 days since I was forced to retire from my self-imposed Camino challenge with a serious foot injury. The recovery process has been difficult and am still experiencing electrifying stabs of pain in the wound as my heel gradually heals and begins to fully support my...

    Wow @Pelerina, such moving and powerful words; thank you so much for aiming them, however obliquely, in my general direction - am truly humbled, bless you. They serve as a salutary reminder to many, on this forum and other media platforms, (where it is perhaps so satisfyingly convenient to hide...

    Thank you Paul, a brother-in-arms indeed by the sound of it. Someone mentioned to me on Sunday that 541kms (336 miles) in 12 days is more than a marathon a day; 45kms and 28 miles respectively....he was trying to cheer me up, bless him. At the time I was thinking of a Tiger Woods quote: "second...

    My heel is healing nicely and without the ministrations and/or intervention of an already over-burdened NHS. For those who don’t necessarily follow the UK news, our Junior Doctors and Consultants are currently on strike, waiting lists for both routine and complex procedures run into the many...

    First and foremost, thank you, thank you to everyone for your kind comments, condolences (?) and best wishes. Baled out of Rabanal yesterday morning at 06.30, a waiting taxi took me to Astorga train station from whence I caught the 07.07 to Palencia and changed for the northbound train to...

    Thank you so much kind Sir. Am feeling understandably down and dejected right now and your words are genuinely appreciated.

    LIVE from the Camino St Jean to Muxia in 20 days - or less !!

    Thanks to everyone for your kind words and wishes. Naturally I am extremely disappointed by what has happened but… I have learned the hard way over the years to listen to my body. The night before last when I popped the minor blood blister obviously didn’t do the business. Yesterday was grueling...

    LIVE from the Camino St Jean to Muxia in 20 days - or less !!

    Thanks everyone but I am very sorry to say my Camino is finished. My foot is not going to heal up anytime soon and a wise pilgrim knows when he’s beaten. I had no intention last night of posting this image and the mods are at liberty to take it down if they feel it too gross. But it serves as...

    LIVE from the Camino St Jean to Muxia in 20 days - or less !!

    16 hours on the road today, over 72,000 steps but only 46.3 recorded kms…??? Okay so I have been hobbling. My left foot post blood blister evacuation gave me a great deal of discomfort all day. But it wasn’t until I eventually reached my hotel in Rabanal, stripped down and bath ready, that I...

    Absolut, tänkte inte att förmedla fram det som en allmän lösning…

    Agreed of course. Thread must be 💯 sterile and then you really must know what you’re doing. So absolutely Sir, mea culpa, not a ready solution for the uninitiated….

    Thanks for the kind words. I’ll check in the morning but after a good night’s rest I should be good to go…

    My blisters developed blisters, bless them…. Quite a little family to keep me company. The ‘water’ variant are seldom an issue.. a needle and thread usually sorts them out, with lashings of antiseptic cream. The ‘blood’ variety demand respect however …. I have visited fellow peregrinos in...

    Today was grueling and I hit a brick wall at Villadangos, about 5kms short of my target in St Martin. A blood blister exploded in my left foot and thought it wise to get myself a room and attend to the damage with antiseptic ointment and dressing rather than risk a nasty infection further on...

    Are you at La Perala ? Great place and have stayed often. Dropped in yesterday around 3pm on my way from m Ledigos to Reliegos to say ‘hola’ to the lovely lady owner and her excellent staff.

    I’m all in. Made it safely to Religeos but quite late, for me, so will let the screen shot do the talking…,
