A Happy New Year to all my readers 🙂 Good to see that you are a person of excellent taste and recognise a real quality blog! After spending the first 12 hours of the new year in bed with Sally we decided a walk was in order. Neither of us could face the annual new…

Meldreth to Cambridge Walk
Today I was invited out on a walk by Caroline & Ray. We caught the train to Meldreth and then did the 18+mile walk back to Cambridge via Wimpole, Kingston, Hardwick and Coton. Interestingly this is the first time I have ever walked back to Cambridge in the past I’ve always walked away and then…

Welney visit
Sally has been going on and on about seeing the swan feeding at the Welney Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust 🙂 So today was the chosen, freezing cold,day, we picked up Ellee, in the midst of writing her secret book, and drove out to the hides. After getting over the shock of paying over £11 for…

A house for less than £100K
Today’s little walk was from Cley to Sheringham. A bit of a late start due to us taking the long way from Kings Lynn 🙁 However it was a lovely clear day with the tide in, the pebble beach makes the walking a bit harder but very rewarding with the sea sounds. The big surprise…

Ascent and Everytrail

First 100miles
A quick post as we are sat in the centre square of Los Santos freezing to death and hungry 🙁 We have now done 100 miles or 161km of the 1000km. Sally leaves me tomorrow so I will now have to do 20miles or so every day on my own, if I am to meet…

Swimming on The Camino
Today was a short 13km hop for us from Guillena. Even that was tiring after an awful nights sleep at Hostal Bar Frances due to some wretched pump switching on and off all night plus a lack of air due it being an internal room. Here in Castilblanco de los Arroyos our luck was in…

Waiting
Here I am in Seville waiting with a delicious espresso for the Amigos office on Calle San Jacinto 25 to open so we can collect our credenciales ( sounds very exotic like travelling in Victorian times). We had an excellent evening in Seville, how great it is to be able to sit outside without hordes…
