Congratulations Alan on meeting Paulo. I have read quite a few of his books and still have The Alchemist which I have read several times.
One of my Camino friends Dermot Breen is Irish and we met in 2016 on the way from Santiago to Muxia. He had walked the Norte then was on his way to Muxia and Finisterre. He did it in memory of his wife who had passed away the previous year, and once home he wrote a book 'The Man With The Camino Tattoo' in which I am mentioned on a few pages. He has since done many more walks including great paths in Ireland and written a number of books all to raise cancer charity funds in memory of his wife.
As I live on the northern edge of Dartmoor, that is where I am walking every day at the moment. Hopefully next year the Camino will be back open.
Good luck to you Alan in keeping safe and fit and when we get back to normal I am sure you will enjoy your future walks. Meanwhile continue getting that next film sorted out as it will be another good one to watch.
All the very best,
Mike
