back on the Frances in May 2022
I led this morning from my front door in the UK. Got a few hours walk to the train station and then flying to Paris later today and onwards to Biarittz.

Back on the French way tomorrow 🙏 literally cannot wait. Will be posting as I walk and updating my blog with updates on cafes, bars, albergues and hotels etc as I go

Buen camino

Hey Tony

It’s not as busy as I though it would be. Orisson wasn’t full and we pushed past roncesvalles today to Espinol and the albergue is less than half full.

I'm delighted for you mate, and not to mention a little jealous😅. I've got another 4 weeks to go until I walk the caminho portuguese but walking the cf again is definitely on the bucket list. Buen camino
