Three years ago, I was a different person. When I recorded this podcast with Australian, Dan Mullins, I had come back from a walk on the meseta and I was looking forward to walking the newly established Celtic Camino. The Camino had given so much to me that it was time to give back, so... Continue Reading →

Weekend Watch #65 – Why people walk the Camino?
It's the weekend again and I am home from another great walk with Camino Society Ireland. I love meeting with other pilgrims. You can read how we got on here on the Camino Society Ireland magazine. Before I shuffle on to bed, I was sent this video by Linda and it made me think. We... Continue Reading →
Weekend Watch #52 – My Way – Camino de Santiago
We are back on the Camino Francés. One pilgrim has created a short video of his walk to Santiago. It is very difficult to package 800 kilometres in 6 minutes, but he has done a good job of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN5zhKMUKgY If you enjoyed this post let me know by hitting the ★Like button, and sharing...

Weekend Watch #50 – Camino de Santiago from above
I was volunteering for Camino Society Ireland at their information centre in Dublin again today. When I volunteer, I start to think ahead about possible routes to take in the future. There are too many I have yet to look into, but the Camino de Madrid and Camino del Norte will keep me occupied for... Continue Reading →
Weekend Watch #49 – León Cathedral
While Santiago Cathedral is under refurbishment, pilgrims may look to other cathedrals for solace. While León Cathedral is undergoing work it is open to the public and I have always enjoyed visiting it. The same goes for Burgos and Astorga. It's been over 2 years since I have been to León and although I have... Continue Reading →

One of my favourite parts of the day is the morning - because of the number of breakfasts you can have on the Camino....there... Continue Reading →
Weekend Watch #45 – Camino Frances from Sarria
This Weekend Watch falls on St. Patrick's weekend and it has a distinct Irish feel to it. Not only does the video show a good part of Galicia, Ireland's unofficial fifth province, but this pilgrim arrived at A Coruña before making his way to Sarria where he started his Camino. I look forward to seeing... Continue Reading →
Weekend Watch #43 – A full Camino Frances
Some pilgrims like to walk the Camino Frances not knowing what is ahead of them. Maybe that is unwise. There are other pilgrims who plan every minute detail weeks in advance. Again, maybe this takes away from the mystery. I did a little of both when I first walked from St. Jean Pied de Port... Continue Reading →
