John & me

Join our full-service guided tour of the Basque Country and let us pamper you!
Today I meet John Brierley. He published his first book in 2004. I published this site the same year.

We have a few things in common.

Was great meeting him!

Bet you had lots of interesting things to discuss ,very pleased you had a rewarding time together.
 
Ivar and me.. :) When I arrived in Santiago some time ago, I (nearly) accidentally went past Ivar's office. Of course I rang the doorbell and voila, there he was! So nice to meet him and thank him for this splendid forum and so nice to have a conversation in Norwegian. Hyggelig å møte deg, Ivar! Tulle.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
The second I got on the train to leave Santiago, I realized I had completely forgotten to stop by and thank Ivar! Oh well, next time I'll make it my first stop!
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
Kudos to both of you for all you have done, over the past decade, to take stress out of the Camino experience, so we pilgrims can focus on the spiritual aspects of the journey rather than worrying about whether we packed right, will be able to stay on the path and will land a bed for the night. Many thanks, Ivar and John! Here's to the next ten years!!
 
I would have loved to have been sat quietly in a corner while this was going on. A pity JW wasn't there too.
I'm sure JW was out walking his "Not So Gently Rolling Hills of Spain" :)

Happy Trails. Urban T
