There is an abundance of places to stay along the way. Private albergues, or hostels, have sprung up over the last 10 years but my favourites are the gems run by various religious groups.
El Camino de Santiago Part 2 – Basque Red, the Route Napoleon and Green to Brown.
The houses in the Basque region of France and Spain are painted in a claret red and white, including those of St Jean Pied de Port. This unassuming little town lies in the creases and folds of the foothills of the Pyrenees and is the start point for the Camino Francais, a 500 mile hiking […]
El Camino de Santiago Part 1 – El Camino de Santiago – Again
This last time year I was eying up the hike from Land End to John O’Groats. I left it too late to make use of the summer and various other reasons so my attention turned to other options abroad, where the elements would be kinder.
The Dartmoor Report with Tony Hobbs – Midges, Tussocks, Mysteries and Tony’s Chopper

Lose the Duracell’s & looking like Ranulph – The Suunto Ambit Review
I was asked recently how I keep a tally of my mileage when I thru-hike. There are three options; the least reliable and rarely used is to base it on the time. For example, on level ground I walk around 3.3 mph so if I started at 8.30am and took a break at 10.30am, in […]
