Charlotte and I have been talking for months now of walking the Camino Way in the Spring of 2013, after Charlotte has retired. We have done some planning (bought the guide book), but little serious thinking and have yet to book the plane tickets. However, come 1 January 2013 we shall begin our training and planning proper. Starting this blog is part of the psychological preparation as my son, Matthew drags me into the electronic 21st centuary getting me ready to keep any interested friends and family in touch with where we are and how we are coping with the walk.

I have now worked out how to add specific readers to my blog readership as I don't want just anybody reading this. Hopefully you will get an invitation to read this very brief (so far) account soon.
Tomorrow the training proper begins!
1st January 2013
Well, I've started! 9.7 miles on the Ashdown Forest and 2000ft of elevation -- very muddy and slippy but beautiful clear blue skies. I was totally kn......d and I wasn't even carrying the pack -- Henry was. I am seriously considering exploring the pros and cons of hiring an Himalayan sherpa!!!!
The intention is to do two of these walks a week --- we'll see.
