Just about to leave home for #MyLongWalk2019 - lunchtime flight Gatwick to Biarritz, night in beautiful Bayonne then train up to SJPP tomorrow afternoon. 2 nights at Gite Zazpiak in SJPP and then set off on my first camino CF early on Wednesday morning! Buen Camino to all...

I know it will be busy ...
I know it will be hot ....

Hi I am Mark. I live and work in Reading UK, but am lucky enough to have a tiny bolt hole home in magnificent Almeria mountains in southern Spain. (Camino Mozarabe one day maybe?)
