Molinaseca – Villafranca Del Bierzo 30km Well I didn’t walk 30km today. In fact I barely walked at all. I woke up and got my gear all packed up and put my shoes on. Deep down I knew something wasn’t right. My legs were a bit jelly like and were not going to take meContinue reading “Villafranca Del Bierzo”

Rabanal Del Camino – Molinaseca 25km I’m writing today’s update with a full bottle of vino tinto in me. It was a hard day and my feet are still aching, despite massaging them with massage cream and a massage ball. Hopefully they will be alright by the morning for another 30km walk to Villafranca DelContinue reading “Molinaseca”

Astorga – Rabanal Del Camino 21km Step by step, town by town, crushing the km down and down. Roughly 237km to Santiago. 💪🏻 An early 7am start today again to get the km done before the sun starts melting me. Quite a walk out of Astorga but not as bad as Pamplona or Logroño. ThisContinue reading “Rabanal Del Camino”

Hospital De Órbigo – Astorga 18km I got up and got out the door at 7am this morning to get into Astorga early – well before the Spanish all went for their siesta. I wanted to get a new pair of walking shoes for the rest of this journey. No breakfast available at that timeContinue reading “Astorga”

Leon – Hospital de Órbigo 30km Before you all start crapping yourselves, No I’m not in hospital, its just the name of the place. I probably should be in hospital because of the distance I’ve covered and the amount of beer, wine and croissants I’ve ate, but no I’m lying in my sleeping bag withContinue reading “Hospital de Órbigo”

Leon – Leon 3km (trying to find where I am staying) So today was a rest day, so I got up at 8am and got a generous breakfast in my hotel but half way through this Spanish girl starts blowing her nose continuously. Now, everybody has to blow their nose but fuck me how muchContinue reading “Leon – Day 2”

Mansilla Mayor – León 17km Today was all about getting the job done and getting to the wonderful city of León. I had dinner and drinks with Roger and Sue from Alberta and had some good conversation. Sue’s knee seems to be completely banjaxed so they are getting a taxi to León to hopefully seeContinue reading “León”

Bercianos Del Real Camino – Mansilla Mayor 30km walked today, fresh as a daisy and with a spring in my step. The first 7k to El Burgo went very quick. I got talking to a Swedish girl called Daniella who had done the Camino 10 years ago and had planned to come back for more.Continue reading “Mansilla Mayor”

Sahagun – Bercianos Del Real Camino 10km John Wayne Day I left the bike for the rental company to collect and enjoyed a lovely stay in the Albergue San Juan. Last night I enjoyed a couple of generous whiskeys while watching the football. I woke up this morning…just ouch! My hips and butt were justContinue reading “Bercianos Del Real Camino”

Fromista – Sahagun 60km 2nd day on the bike and thankfully no hill climbs today. I got up at 7am and got the worst excuse for a breakfast you could ever get in the albergue, and got on the road at 7:45. Travelling at roughly 20km/hr I didn’t stop until I got to Ledigos whereContinue reading “Sahagun”
