A Walk Down the Bidgee
I took this on a day when the temperature was 45ºC. Stinking hot. The location is on the Murrumbidgee River in Hay NSW. The Hay Bridge is in the distance. The shores of the river are studded with gum trees that have succumbed to the river and its erosion.

My Daily Photo Challenge
I’ve been feeling the itch to push myself creatively. One of those things is to improve my photography. So, I’ve decided to embark on a little adventure: a daily photography challenge. So, for a while, I’ll be sharing a new photo every single day. My goal with this project is simple: to practice, experiment, and…

Camino Primitivo – Day 2
Today’s walk was from Grado to Salas. The route involved a steep climb out of Grado, a descent on the other side, and a gradual climb up to Salas, our home for the night. It was an excellent day for walking, and lovely views followed along the way. We met quite a few pilgrims along…

Camino Primitivo – Day 1
This video shows the first day of our walk on the Primitivo. We started the day in Oviedo at the cathedral of San Salvador and made our way to Grado. The walk was beautiful, with lovely views of the countryside and the sun on our backs. The walk out of Oviedo wasn’t too bad, as…

Camino del Norte Day 23
We’re nearing the end of the walk, which has mixed emotions. Today we leave the Camino del Norte and join the French Camino in Arzúa, our home for tonight. We walked about 22km today from Sobrado dos Monxes. Last night we didn’t have Mass for Sunday as it was at 11 am, but we witnessed…

Camino del Norte Day 22
Today was another short 20km walk from Villalba to Baamonde. We headed south today towards the French Camino Way. It was a wet morning to start with. Before we checked out of our hotel, we visited a local cafe for breakfast. I don’t think the sole trader expected four visitors to request bacon and eggs…

Camino del Norte Day 21
Today we walked about 21km from Abadín to Villalba. It was mostly a flat walk as we’d climbed for most of yesterday. The issue was that it was wet for most of the walk. It had rained quite heavily during the night as we slept, and the rain was still lingering when we woke. As…

Camino del Norte Day 20
Today we walked about 18km from Mondoñedo to Abadín. It was mainly uphill all day as we headed further into the mountains. We did take an alternate route as the standard course went up steeply, and we didn’t want to do that. Our path was more gradual. Today’s main challenge was the intermittent rain and…

Camino del Norte Day 19
I seem to be back online today with a better internet connection and can post. Yesterday took so long to save and upload photos that, in the end, I gave up. Today we are in Mondoñedo, a bigger town than last night. Last night wasn’t even a town, just a hotel on the side of…

Camino del Norte Day 17
Today we walked from Navia to Tapia de Casariego. A 22km walk along the coast. We set out from Navia at about 9 am with Alejandro, our Mexican friend, and a new friend from Canada named Bond. And then there were four. We had a good weather forecast for the day, and the sun was…
