It was around the start of the Millennium, that I had the notion of walking the Camino to
Santiago de Compostela - 1,000 miles from Le Puy-en-Velay in Southern France.
But there was never a good time to ask for 10 weeks off work - and when I half-heartedly did so,
I got a grumpy response. As time went on, and the route became more popular and touristy, and I
realised a lot of it was just walking on roads, the idea began to fade.
But it never died completely and last year I decided that I had to make a decision
one way or other.
How I ended up two Caminos in the year - and I am conscious that they were
more walking-holidays than pilgrimages - is a long a story and will have to wait for the journal. Meanwhile, there are
still the pictures.
