September 2022 - we are on our way

Such a joy to finally pack the bag.

Much smaller than usual and we shall see how it pans out.

St Jacques will provide but I always like to do a rough plan which he then alters!

So we fly to Bordeaux for £25 and down to Hendaye Irun and San Sebastian before heading down to Pamplona.

I asked Simon if he wanted to do St Given pied du porte but he declined.... 15 years ago it was tough for us but nowadays I quite enjoy it, but he's right. We are tourists.

Who else would wear a hoodie like that around Edinburgh in the festival.

in May we did a wee taster trip for some of the boys and we'll pick up where they left off when we get to St Juan, Burgos and Rabe de las calzadas.

Stu missed that photocall in st Juan but had arrived by Rabe.

this time we will get to ponferrade where Simon and I were in March. Then we will jump the train to Vigo and bus or train across the border to Porto.

its hard to believe it's only 6 months since we climbed out of Bierzo toward O'Cebriero and then down to Portomarin.
