    From in the shadow of pilgrims to other shadows This time 4 years ago I had left Orisson (just in France) to cross the Pyrenees: day 46 of my journey to Santiago. My diary notes: “the wind was very strong...tugged, pushed, pulled, swirled in eddies around me, and even nearly stopped...

    LIVE from the Camino In the shadow of Pilgrims - Graeme Bennett

    Reference books and research The guide books which I carried (see below) were extremely useful even essential on the Way itself. At the beginning I was sceptical of the utility of a description of the route such as one finds in a number of guide books. I tend to prefer a map so I can see...

    End of the Earth And so I have reached Finisterre and gone on... The last 3 days walking from Santiago to Cabo do Finisterre were as good as any I had walked on the whole Camino. A fitting end to a walk!! Having stood in the sea in the bay at Fisterra and had a toast in wine beside the...

    A new arrival Have been joined by my wife...excellent! Progress has been good, through sun, wind, rain (what else in Galicia!), even a few flakes of snow near the Cruz de Ferro. We are now 35 km from Santiago, and, God willing we should stand in front of the Cathedral on Monday, 14...

    On the Camino Delighted to get some feedback from you Pilgrim and sillydoll. ItŽs good for morale to know one is not writing in a vacuum! A new contribution is in place at the usual blogspot (see above) in French today. Am enjoying the pilgrimage immensely! I am now at exactly the half...

    LIVE from the Camino In the shadow of Pilgrims - Graeme Bennett

    The Camino is really a step back in time: staying in old albergues (= inns), seeing villages and churches which date back 100s of years, being reminded from time to time of those who provided for pilgrims in the early years of the last millenium, eg Santo Domingo de la Calzada and San Juan de...

    LIVE from the Camino In the shadow of Pilgrims - Graeme Bennett

    A good crossing of the Pyrenees with 2 days spent between SJPP and Roncevalles. Most marvellous views on both days but gale force winds on the second day while going over the top meant the going was more difficult than it should have been. Am now at rest in Cizur Menor, a charming village...

    Injury and frustration at D19! What? Injury? Yes, I have been forced to stop walking the Camino due to a pulled muscle in my leg making it impossible to continue walking for a few days at least. I am taking 5-7 days off to see how the muscle mends and then will decide whether it is OK to...

    On the Camino At D15 on the Camino. All is going well and am having a pause, based at Limogne en Quercy. Have been very impressed by the warmth of reception at all lodgings and by other pilgrims and walkers along the route. There have been notable moments at the Convent at St Come...
