Mendip Mike
- Time of past OR future Camino
- Portugues. Starting 26th August 2020 from Porto.
Hello
My name is Michael O'Shea. Aged 58. I live in the village of Banwell Somerset UK which is at the foot of the Mendip Hills hence the user name "Mendip Mike"
I plan to walk the Camino from St jean to Finisterre from Mid May 2014 to end of June 2014. I know its 2 years away but I need to get fully fit and learn some Spanish.
I guess just an introduction at this early stage not doubt I will be pestering you for information and advice over the coming months.
.
One question which has been posed to me is WHY I want to walk the Camino.
I know I WANT to walk the Camino. I enjoy long distance trail walking and have walked many of the long distance trials in the UK and Ireland. I like Spain and as a Roman Catholic I have always been aware of the Camino and perhaps it has always been in my consciousness. At present I am searching for the answer to the WHY question perhaps I will find out when I get there.
It would be good to know if anybody here in the Somerset/Bristol area is planning to or has recently walked the Camino.
What's the difference between a Refugio an Albergue and a Hospederia are they all the same thing ?
Good luck to all of you starting the Camino over the next few weeks.
Best regards
Mike
