FOR MY WONDERFUL WIFE

You may say “It’s only for a few weeks” but in the 30 odd years we have been together this will be the longest we have ever been apart.
My heart is aching already.
I can’t wait to see her beautiful face again as I come into Sarria in 3 weeks.

Buen Camino love.
Kiss our girls for me.

I WILL MISS THEM THE MOST

These are the loves of my life and I will miss them a lot while away.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch with them in Coppi in St. Anne’s Square to say Buen Camino.

PASS IT ON

If you are on The Camino now or are starting within the next few weeks, maybe you could tell me where you are at any time in the off-chance we were close to each other.

We could share experiences, update places to stay, advise on problems along the way or maybe even just know there was someone on the way that was sharing your journey.

We wouldn’t necessarily need to meet up but it may be nice to know there was someone out there who understood exactly what I was going through.

This is very much my personal journey but feel I need to know that I an not quite as selfish as I sometimes think I am being.

KILT TESTED, SHADES ON, NEARLY THERE

Thought I’d give it a whirl. This should make it nice and breezy around las cañadas.
Hopefully the overhang should be a bit less after the month.

1000 HITS

Wow!

Quite impressed at getting over 1000 hits in just over 1 week.

Keep it going folks. Hang on in there. Only 5 more days before I set off.

Spent this evening trying to work out my backpack system.

It is harder than you think to organise the layers.

I have no idea what the system will look like after a few days.

Maybe I will just keep the same clothes on the whole time.

Warning to other peregrinos!!!!!!

Insurance Booked

Apparently I’m worth millions now.

Just booked my travel insurance for my trip.
As my wife is joining me on the final week of my walk we found it a bit easier and maybe cheaper to pay for Annual cover instead of Single Journey or Backpacker cover and this also allows us to travel at different times to anywhere in Europe.
With extra cover for valuables (mobile phones etc.) this came out at around £100. Seems ok considering it covers both of us for a year.
Any thoughts?

Update of John’s page

I have updated John’s page and have added a sub menu under the item “For John” in the menu bar for Marie Curie.

Although I am not doing this walk for charity feel free to do your own thing here.
