Monday 12th June 2023 – The end of a Journey After a great sleep the night before, I got up early and got packed up. I was to help Bengt get to the airport and get his flight home, then wait in the airport for my own flight. We got a taxi and got checkedContinue reading “Home Sweet Home!”

I had a trip booked to Fisterre, and Muxia today and had an early-ish start at 9am. Thankfully I didn’t go out last night after all or this could have been a struggle. Bengt had also booked the same trip and we met at my hotel to walk to the pick-up point. It was greatContinue reading “Muxia and the edge of the world”

O Pedrouzo – Santiago de Compostela – 18km I am writing this a day late as I never got a chance to write yesterday. Sooo many people to catch up with. So I started the day by getting up early and setting off at 7am. 18km to gobble up and get to Santiago asap. Didn’tContinue reading “Santiago de Compostela”

Arzua – Pedrouzo 19km After a nights kip in the room with the giant dutch girl snorting and sneezing all night, I was last to get up and get packed.

Palas de Rei – Arzua 26km Well today I was dreading, my feet were aching and I had to do 26km. Yesterday I used my old Hokas for the last 10km and felt great in them with my old blisters all healed up. So I took a chance and put them on to see ifContinue reading “Arzua”

Triacastela – Sarria 19km After last nights little session, I was a little tired in the morning. My accommodation last night was so cosy. Like a little cave and I didn’t want to get up out of the comfy bed. But I did, about an hour later than I usually got up. I said byeContinue reading “Sarria”

Laguna De Castilla – Triacastella 24km. Today I woke up about 6:30 am and everyone in my dorm was getting ready to go. I lay there for another half hour til most of them had cleared.

Villafranca Del Bierza – Laguna De Castilla 26km Back on my feet again today and feeling much better. First 3km were hard for me but after that the motor kicked in and I was cruising along.
