Read MoreMy Final Thoughts Before We Set Sail
As I type this blog it is 5.30am and only 24 hours before we leave for our second adventure on the Camino Frances route. I know it’s a cliche but Rachel and I sat and watched The Way yet again last night to get us in the mood (not that we need any more encouragement…

Read MoreTraining For Camino Frances – 6 Weeks to Go!
I was determined to stick to my target this week and the work week hustle on Fitbit certainly kept me motivated. The highlight of the week was achieving a 12-mile walk with relative ease, including some steep hills. We also had the opportunity to ask Jane lots more questions about the Camino and we heard…
