It’s our last day of walking our current endeavour on the Camino de Santiago. This gets us to roughly 200km or 25% of the way to Santiago de Compostela, depending which signposts you believe.

Coming this week from the Camino de Santiago. Other examples of Welsh Tin Sheds are also available. It was getting a bit crowded on the main Tin Sheds page, so I’ve created another space for International examples. And it’s a good one to start with. Feast your eyes on this.

Before I start, I just want to point out that a rest day sometimes causes more problems than cures. I’ve got a weird groin strain that’s making my heel go numb.

Specifically, would the Bridge in Pontypridd look like it does now if William Edwards had been on a Camino Pilgrimage? Bear with me on this.

We didn’t think we were going to do this at about lunchtime yesterday. The thought of another 8km in the building heat was daunting.

It […]| What's the PONT

One of the preconditions / contract stipulations of SB taking part in the Camino walk is that she gets to book the hotels. And they have to be ones she approves of.

Apologies. I’m a bit delayed in posting the Where, What, Who and Why 4 a day picture blog. Yesterday was a bit longer than expected and very much warmer than either of us had hoped for. So, morale in camp was at a low ebb last night. I should make it clear, we are NOT […]| What's the PONT
So here’s a story, and apologies for the deviation from the 4 a day picture diary… We are walking into Puente La Reina when I see these iron statues.

What is a pilgrimage? Many people may think of a pilgrimage as a journey to some celebrity destination.
