    Guess who's back?

    So the route after Bordeaux goes through Forêt des Landes... been there done that back on the route from Limoges (where I thought that a far off white spot was another pilgrim I never ever caught (yawn)). Is there a way of missing out this bland section? Like just begin from Dax after a night in...

    Guess who's back?

    This time out I am actively looking for other pilgrims - people I can assist if they need anything. It's 10 years(May 2013) since I got off that train from Saint Etienne and found myself in a bed at the Accueil in Le Puy ... recently I've been walking alone and I feel it's time to connect with...

    Guess who's back?

    So I think I will be too late to stay at the Gîtes in central Bordeaux as my flight doesn't arrive until 2300 ... any suggestions of an alternative? However I really enjoyed staying there when I was last passing through Bordeaux on my way back from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port...

    Reflecting back, a day later, now I am back in Leeds, that it was a wonderful 10 days on The Way. The weather was challenging, but that's a Camino? I'll be back in September to continue from Figueira da Foz... Well I say that, but have no responsibilities in May...

    50 years to realise I am a lucky man. Serendipity is the means by which life unfolds. To be true take the suggestions presented. I tried very hard to find a place to stay for under €40 in Limoges, but there is some event on here until Sunday: so the place is complet and I was wondering if I...

    Rarely have I been so exhausted from anything. Yesterday, and the previous 9 days, walking like a fool, 30 kilometres a day, I couldn't keep from yawning. After I had had some food: a savoury humus tartine with roasted veg, etc., and a Petrus Red, my legs carried me through the Basilique, into...

    It really was a tough 10 days, but this morning is reward enough?

    I've got to the Saint Martin Basilica this evening, however I might not have a key to get back in to the Guesthouse...

    Go figure... Another bridge 🤷 Saint Symphorien suspension bridge... 30 kilometres.

    Approaching Tours... As I walk along La Loire for the final few kilometres it seems the weather is changing: it's still raining, and windy, but the sun is putting in an appearance between clouds. Just as I reach the end of this 'pilgrimage': a pause for another time as tomorrow I am hopping...

    This morning I have to build up to the good stuff again. After too many beers yesterday afternoon I didn't sleep so well: it's the first time since I left the UK I've turned to alcohol... Perhaps it was always going to happen on a day like yesterday, and with a goal: Tours, very near and the...

    Today was so challenging. If this Chemin hasn't already tipped me beyond rescue today surely has? From 7:30am it was rain, heavy or persistent, you take your measure? This morning I left the farm house, a 15th century Grange or Manor which was, apparently, dedicated to Saint Tobias? However I...

    I stopped at Café Des Arts...and I can't move - my body won't go anywhere!

    I will get there... Poitiers may have to wait, again, for another Chemin?

    It has just poured down on me, in a Westerly gale, since I left the security of Ferme le Plessis at 7:30... Got to Amboise at 12. Possibly the rain which broke the pilgrims back? One more day to Tours? I don't know!
