... Looks like a New Year's resolution then!
Great pictures, wish you well, Peter.A beautiful January day, 11 km walk along the Pitt River dyke ~ Pitt Meadows B.C. (Canada)
Lovely pictures, thank you for sharing, Peter.Tramore beach and backstrand - about 10km (depending on tide)
I love to walk in the mist, you become wet but who cares, not me.As the floods in Yorkshire begin to receed we were able to get out to our beloved Nidderdale. The mist spread over the hills we were about to climb but we still loved the fresh air and lack of rain
No floods here, but too wet to walk anywhere except just round the lanes for short distancesAs the floods in Yorkshire begin to receed we were able to get out to our beloved Nidderdale. The mist spread over the hills we were about to climb but we still loved the fresh air and lack of rain
We usually put our photos up as thumbnails because those full size pictures take up too much bandwidth when up/downloading the pages. We had to stop viewing the original thread until we found an 'image blocker' which could block photos we had already viewed and did not want to download again. So please think of those who do not have unlimited allowances and use Ivar's useful thumbnail option
Looking forward to seeing where people walk this year.
But is watercress any good for blisters ? HahaLeisurely 6k. in Lauw, close by the oldest town of Belgium ,Tongeren.
Lauw is known for cultivating watercress .The river Jeker is a big help for this because of the streaming water. And the Camino is everywhere.

There is even a beer based on watercress.
Thanks @newfydog . Yes it is the file size rather than the loading time itself that makes the difference. When total monthly allowance is limited reloading files of 2Mg+ per photo takes up a huge amount of the monthly allowance as the files all reload each time a page is viewed. Your lovely photo is just the right file size IMOInteresting---I guess I have good bandwidth because the old thread loads in a flash. I hate those thumbnails where I have to click and click to see every photo.
I use the snipping tool to put my photos into a Camino file before posting which reduce them to about 140kb, about 1/10th the size of some of the other photos here.
Would limiting the file size help? The snipped photos still seem to be of decent quality.
Here's where I "walked" today. Let me know if it jams things up and I'll change it to a thumb.

Lovely photos Seamus, they brought back many happy memories of my years as a scout leader in Dublin.First proper snow of the winter in the Dublin mountains:

Nice BC pictures, I will be there the first week of February. Love BC... Normally go to a ski town named Sun Peaks, great place to ski.A beautiful January day, 11 km walk along the Pitt River dyke ~ Pitt Meadows B.C. (Canada)
BeautifulWalked 8.8 k in Alden Biesen today. Grey but 8 Celsius. Very very muddy. Was the only one when I started ( see parking lot ) and I found a yellow Compostela flecha. Alden Biesen is very famous for it's castle.

A soggy 7 mile ramble along the shore of Strangford Lough and Delamont Country Park, near Killyleagh, Co. Down. It was strange to see so much seaweed in the fields from the high tides. Delighted that my new Keens passed the comfort and dryness test!
Ireland looks lovelyground still too wet to go off-road. 15km .
note filthy litter habit
oh bless...palmtrees.This is where I walked last week...back in the UK now.
Sorry guys, but today I walked part of this trail. I live in one of the mentioned villages and as I sit in my chair writing this I can raise my eyes and look out at those views. Today - four women, one man, three dogs, 17 kms - fabulous
nice photosLovely bright day ...View attachment 23790
...today in the Bush just after dawn
as I was sweating in the steam
I heard the sound of a pair of birds mimicking car alarms...
Oh I haven´t seen this thread yet.
I am participating in the walk 1000 miles challenge 2016.
I have clocked 220 miles since the 1st of January here in East Sussex and discover more and more the South Downs.
I am no good in posting pictures and will do that once I get the chance.
Buen Camino a todos.
That's encouraging Deise, I hope that those signs spread northwards soonBeautiful bright day - first signs of Spring ? about 18k
Lovely pictures, thank you for sharing.At last, a 'proper walk'!
About 16kms of tramping up and down marshy ground in the County Antrim hills. It was a perfect winter's day, with views across the sea to Scotland. A really nice, but surprisingly challenging horseshoe route from the coastal village of Carnlough.

We are from Co Sligo in Ireland. We walk The Gleniff Horseshoe (10K) and a circular walk around Cromleach Lodge (18k). Both of these without much of a break. We're hoping to fit in more longer walks but life seems to keep getting in the way! We're planning to walk about 15 - 20k a day in Portugal, so I think we're nearly ready!
Great walks Sheena! We spend three weeks in Mullaghmore every summer and love Co. Sligo. We've also bought a lot of our gear in Sligo over the years - the service in Call of the Wild is outstanding.
It sounds like you're very well prepared - Buen Camino!
Hi Sabine, lovely pictures. Thank you for sharing.Last weekend I escaped the belgian weather and went to Barcelona where the OH is working for three weeks.
Did a lot of city walking.
Thanks Sabine, it was a really enjoyable walk. I'm so glad that I joined a walking club last year - it is a great way of doing more challenging walks. I come home exhausted and muddy, but feeling fantastic.Nuala,
Beautiful!!
Wish you well next week, Peter.Beautiful Nuala!!
Another trial walk today with pack. 18 k. but less hilly than yesterday.
Bit of Meseta feeling although you would not find a Carnaval goer there.
Well did not train enough for my mini Camino next week but will have to do.
Now I will stop hijacking this thread...

Hi Alan, love the picture.A late dusting of snow mostly burnt off by glorious early spring sun by midday; in the distant haze/cloud is Scotland, in the foreground is my beautiful viszla Huba. 1km of tarmac, otherwise all off road; only fell over once in the icy/muddy bits, and lunch was very welcome and felt earned, even if it was only half a camino day, without a rucksack.
