Five whole years ....

Just over a year ago we were back in logroño to retrace our steps on the Camino Frances for just one of the stages as far as Burgos. 

Just over two years ago we had just completed the Camino Ingles and the additional walk on to Finisterra. 

On this day three years ago I was on the camino Primitivo.  Having spent a cold and damp night in a lovely auberge this dog accompanied me as I set out that morning.

Four years ago we had just completed the Camino Portuguese and were enjoying a day's break in santiago. 

Five years ago I was with the Famous Camino Five as we arrived for our first stay in a big city  - Logroño

Back to where my story today started - life's rich circle. 

This year is the first year I am not walking and am missing it very much, but it is very alive within me and I know that I will be back out there again, especially as Jane and I are thinking of doing the first stage over the Pyrenees again next year. 

Porto & Betanzos 2011 / 2013

Still holding fast to my Camino memories.

Four years ago Jane, Sussi and I were on just starting out on the Camino Portuguese from Porto...

And then just two years ago we ( Jane, Kerri and me) were well on our way down the Camino Ingles-  Pontedeume to Betanzos, a short stretch of around 21kms. 

Such wonderful times, such great memories.

Remembering 'The Ingles'

Two years ago on this very day we were walking the Camino Ingles. A less oft travelled Camino and one of which we met fewer people, but nonetheless some wonderful new friends all the same.

ON the 18th June 2013 we started out in Ferrol, dead early in the morning, having found the first way- markers the day before.

Ah such memories, and how I wish we were walking this year too. This will be the first year I've not ventured onto one of the Caminos since 2010, but next year perhaps we'll hit the Pyrenees again....
