Imagine waking each day to a new story from a fellow pilgrim/hiker and their musings and images live from the camino! Ohh la la what a JOYOUS way to start/finish the day, or to dig into when you have some down time. I will keep an active list here for you and you’ll find them updated regularly, so do bookmark this page if this sounds like your jam!
Ps … If you know of anyone or if you are blogging or instagramming daily from the camino, please let me know so I can share here.

Hiking for children with health problems
Start date: June 9th, 2023
Blink and you will miss this one! Franzpeter is hiking for children with health problems. I nearly fell off my chair when I read his fist uodate. Yes that is three days of hiking for me. And he is keeping up this pace too. I’m in awe of this ultra hiker and his hiking philosophy. You can follow his journey and sponsor his charity if you’re inclined. Find his blog here.
The charity he is walking for is The foundation “Wunderlampe” / “Lampe magique”. The foundation fulfils heartfelt wishes of children and teenagers with serious illnesses or disabilities, they create a moment of joy, a glimmer of hope, in this everyday life, with a beautiful, unforgettable experience.

Sophie Goes Hiking
Sophie walked the Camino Frances and shared her walk along the way! Her photos and posts have me all excited about walking again soon. What a walk.
That Camino I blogged …
When I walked in 2018 for One Girl, I blogged daily. I wrote these posts at the end of the day, reflecting, sharing the images, tales of the trail and the characters I met. My posts that were often written late at night as I rested my weary body and cosied up in my sleeping bag for the 10pm Albergue curfew.
It was a wonderful way to collect my thoughts and to keep friends and family up to date with my fundraiser and adventure. Reading all the support messages from around the world was well appreciated and absolutely kept me courageous in my desire to walk this walk to send girls to school! If you are interested, here are those posts.
P.s. Eeek .. I do cringe a little reading these posts now but they are a record of that time so I’ll choose to see past the embarrassment.
