A unique set of sequences or......

It all started when I woke up from a lazy Saturday morning to the voice of Trish Clark sharing her experience of walking a pilgrimage of nearly 900km. Not being one to intentionally walk hundred's of km (but rather on my Kawasaki Custom 900) I was surprised that it caught my interest.

After mentioning this to my wife, Anita, she found an article in the Courier  Mail regarding Trish Clark and the Camino...then finally, all within a day or so I turned on Foxtel lo and behold there was a documentary series of ....you guessed it...."Walking the Camino" so we were committed....then came many books, many YouTube clips then we started to buy our gear ...and found out that there was large Camino community, in Brisbane, Australia and around the world.

Camino has captured our imagination..

This sounds crazy... but at 58 years old , we have been lead to then captured by the challenging thought of walking an ancient pilgrimage, 900 km on the Camino Frances....from Southern France, across the Pyrenees mountains then  northern space to Santiago de Compostella and onto the end of the world at Finestere....well it beats getting dressed up as Elvis and having a karaoke party for our 60th birthday doesn't it!


check out this Camino Documentary trailer just to whet the appetite
