- Frances (5/15)
Frances & Muxia (2016-18)
Camino from Madrid (9/18)
Frances to Burgos (9/19)
TBC
So after months of dedicated planning, I fly out to Madrid on Monday...without much of a plan
Camino Madrid onto Salvador, then Primitivo as far as time permits, before meeting daughter in Lugo, bus to Sarria and walking the last section to Santiago together.
Feels like my first Camino with the lack of plan and lack of knowledge of the route...and that’s good. The last 3 years, walking the Frances with Mrs Rich have been more planned - with the first few days accommodation always booked, and generally booking ahead for the next day as I always felt responsible for putting a roof over our heads (and 2 beds harder to be sure of than 1).
So, apart from flights, nothing booked and I’ll just go with the flow.
Having said that, I’m not feeling hugely motivated. One of my best friends took his own life in July which has affected me so much...it’s just so sad...such a waste. I will be walking with him in my heart. Knee is knackered too...years of running are finally catching up. I just hope the Camino will provide me with the the energy and peace that always seems to flow along it.
Just need to get going
