Day 9: The Way of St James from Estaing to Golinhac (about 10 miles)
Our itinerary for the walk and all accommodation was made by Sherpa Walking Holidays. Our walking notes warned us firmly that we had to have our bags ready for collection at 8, so we breakfasted in the gloomy early morning light at 7.30. The range...
Day 8: The Way of St James from St Come d’Olt to Estaing (10.6 miles)
Deafeated by lack of available wifi today. So sorry for lack of blog today. Here's a few pics from a lovely, lovely day. Ok, here's a late night update. Bob and I are sitting opposite the church and below "chez D'Estaing. An excellent supper was...
Day 7: The Way of St James from Chely D’Aubrac to St. Come d’Olt (10miles)
Our itinerary and all our accommodation was arranged by Sherpa Walking Holidays. It was tipping it down when I looked out of the window at 7, this morning. And it was still raining by the time we left the hotel at 8.45. Well, that's why we carry...
Wales Coast Path: Pennard Burrows to Rhossili
Walked 13th August 2012 Approximate distance: 16 miles. Overall quite demanding. A little taxing at first with a short steep climb in the dunes. Mostly the path is then on firm surfaces with a steep section after Oxwich Bay and several climbs and...
Day 6: The Way of St James from Nasbinals to Chely D’Aubrac (10.6 miles)
If I confess that our drinks bill this morning was 63 euros and that we had had a couple of beers at another bar in this pretty village (where I increased my lead to 5 nil in the Conques to Rodez taxi fare Cribbage tournament), you'll...
Day 5: The Way of St James between Aumont Aubrac to Nasbinals (16.2 miles)
Our itinerary and all our accommodation was arranged by Sherpa Walking Holidays. We had quite a lot of rain in the night, but as dawn broke it revealed just a slightly drizzly morning. The croissants were good and they declined to accept my offer...
Day 4: The Way of St James from Les Faux to Aumont Aubrac (13.1 miles)
Our itinerary and all our accommodation was arranged by Sherpa Walking Holidays. Ear plugs and a sleeping pill ensured a good nights sleep and protected me from Bob's snoring. The breakfast was disappointing. No pastries and the bread wasn't fresh...
Day 3: The Way of St James from Sauges to Les Faux (17.2 miles)
Our itinerary and all our accommodation was arranged by Sherpa Walking Holidays. I woke at 6 again. I hadn't had the best of nights, and I honestly cannot blame Bob, though his snoring was epic. Basically I was nursing a hangover. No matter...
Day 2: The Way of St James from St Privat D’Allier to Sauges (11.9 miles)
Our itinerary and all our accommodation was arranged by Sherpa Walking Holidays. I woke at 6 before my alarm. But I wasn't unhappy about that. It meant that I had time for a leisurely cup of tea. Travel kettles are a wonderful invention and...
Day 1: The Way of St James between Le Puy en Valey to St Privat D’Allier (14.7 miles)
Our itinerary and all our accommodation for the walk was arranged by Sherpa Walking Holidays. Anxious about giving ourselves plenty of time for today's walk, we walked up to the Cathedral, the "official" start of the walk, the night before. This is...
