Hi Gaitor-defeator,

nice to see that you made it to the end of the Earth (even if it is only the beginning of something new). There are three stories, I think - we will discover the third one if we take the experience and give it a place in our lives..

All the best!

I´ll be arriving (gods, fairies and other superstitions willing) on the 7th, probably about 11.00am - UK time, but I´ll give an update by phone along the way.

You´ll recognise me quite easily, I´ll be the one with a rucsac and wearing shorts.

As for food on my return ... plenty of vegetables and NO CHIPS is the order of th more…

You will tell us when to keep an eye on the web cam in Santiago.
We want to cheer and check that you haven't disappeared into a shadow. Do you fancy liver and bacon followed by bread and butter pudding for your homecoming meal? Or will it be paella and red wine? I think we'll need to feed you well for a while. (OK - not too well - you want more…

I can assure you that my first golf rehearsal will be the week after I get back! I´m looking forward to simply carrying a "mere" bag of clubs.

Having not played for 6 months, because any spare time was devoted to walking practice, I´m keen to see whether the layoff has improved my game.

Cheers, John more…

No, no, no ... we didn´t actually SELL her! she insisted that she´d only go for a whole barrel of wine, and since we´d then have the hassle of transporting it ... it wasn´t really on!

No, it was simply a lot of fun. more…

Well Keith I am feeling shattered and can feel the pain in the feet and limbs just sitting here-700 km.seems a long way in a car let alone on foot!! Will have to have another drink to ease the pain-me that is!!I suppose a game of golf on your return is not going to be on for a week or two! Thinking of you as I know you are of us!! Take care!! more…

Well Keith. It's midsummer's day in England and raining
i suppose if you have to have sore legs it's better to have them somewhere warm where you can drink coffee and watch the world go by and if necessary take a bus. Keep your pecker up. Clare more…

It's great that you're making the time to blog, I hope you manage to sustain it. I'd like to hear more about what kind of things you're seeing along the way and how they make you feel? What are the locals like? What are your motivations (big and small) are they changing along the way? What are you feeling?

Perhaps some of your common t more…

With each hand holding a walking pole, I´d be at a bit of a loss as to where to stick the brolly (no suggestions). But there is definate appeal in the prospect, and I did think about it more…

I think you analyse things too much and should lighten up a bit, there's more to life than planning to perfection, you're not planning a wedding or a funeral. While you're out there, why not do something outrageous and take what life throws at you

We think you'll look really rather swish in red gaiters (got a pair m'self:-)) Very handy as a location beacon if you end up base over apex in a 'cuneta'.
Impressed with your progress so far.

Have you thought about purchasing an umbrella? more…
