Late starter from Bristol. Walked my first stretch of the Norte at fifty-four with boots I had worn twice, and went back the following spring to finish it. I like rain, cider and strangers, in that order.

Three days on the Basque coast, or how the Norte humbled me

Irún to Deba on the Camino del Norte at fifty-four: cliffs, rain, cider, the best food of my life and legs that did not know what was coming. A first Camino, told honestly by a man who had never carried a backpack.
