The big day finally arrived. The finish! Mixed emotions but it's been fantastic, the whole experience. Thank you to everyone for all your...

As we approach the finish of the Camino, this extra post is a reminder of why I walked it this time, helped by so much support and love....

Penultimate day of walking. Half the day with rain but generally easy day. Even better was being joined in the evening by my other son...

Another shorter day as we get closer to the finish. Not as crowded with people as yesterday, because not everyone splits the stage into...

A shorter walk today (remember that for dramatic effect I'm writing up all the km walked in the day, not just the ones technically on the...

The masses of people get more with every stop from here. The countryside is still lovely, but on the occasional café in a village to take...

The final week! Sarria is where many people start their Camino, because it qualifies for the Compostela but takes less than a week. The...

We did nothing. Barely moved. Worked online. Barely moved. Did I mention that we barely moved?

Second rest day (yes the cough is finally improving although still present). More importantly, JuanJo arrived and will be return me all...

Some steep downhill walking (harder than uphill in my experience, especially on loose stone) but less than yesterday. Another beautiful...

Walking alone again now and I've still got the virus but it's nothing serious. It just makes it a bit more tiring after coughing all...

A beautiful day weather wise and Astorga seems lovely. One of my friends is injured (they left today anyway) and I have a throat virus...

We laughed (a lot) we cried, one of them lost the tip of her toe and blew out a vein after all the walking, but we had an amazing day...
