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. We might finish in 3 years time at this rate. Here’s the 4 A Day Picture Diary of today’s events. Where? […]| What's the PONT
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. It’s a tin shed that […]| What's the PONT
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. So just as well it’s a short day from Logrono to Navarrete. And here’s a picture of me doing some foot stretches along The […]| What's the PONT
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. I’ve been told not to keep trying to connect everything back to Old South Wales, like we are the Centre of the Universe or something. But this is relevant (kind […]| What's the PONT
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. Those Taxi phone numbers that appear on bus stops and lamp-posts were a serious temptation. But, like true Peregrinos we avoided the temptation and trudged on. Blimey, that sounds dramatic. It […]| What's the PONT
I think I’ve fallen into a pattern for the 4 a day picture diary of our walk. Starting with a view from the hotel window where we spent the night. Where? Villamayor de Monjardin as the sun is rising over the local winery, Bodegas Castillo De Monjardin. This is unfortunately a view over the working […]| 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. Secretly I’m very appreciative of that condition. So the ‘short’ walking day was actually planned around a stay at a very nice boutique […]| What's the PONT
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. A man and woman poised with some sort of digging tool. The statues aren’t ‘ancient’ and there’s no explanation of what they are about. Obviously, I’m […]| What's the PONT
The first day of proper walking on Stage 2. Here’s the 4 a day (approximately) picture diary of: What we are doing, Where we are, Who and Why? What. Walking the stretch from Pamplona to Puenta la R…| What's the PONT

Remember when Communities did big ambitious things? Above are two of my pictures of the Grwyne Fawr Reservoir sitting about 16 km (10 miles) north of Abergavenny in the Black Mountains. The first p…| What's the PONT
I absolutely love modified hand tools. The sort of things that someone has made or changed to do a very specific piece of work. So feast your eyes on this little beauty. Today I’ve enjoyed some tim…| What's the PONT
This is a genuine question. I only ask because there’s something from Dave Snowden rattling around my head that seems particularly relevant at the moment. “In a crisis, you should alway…| What's the PONT
