Ok so not so much a walk in the park… more ‘A walk in the countryside‘ but that doesn’t sound quite so catchy for my title.
A few weeks ago I went awandering with my camino buddies on the Camino Vezeley. We’d planned to meet and go walking once a month… the plan was to also keep walking inbetween these monthly trips… the other two have done this, but sady I have to hold my hand up and say that I didn’t!
It’s high summer in south west France and I have so many wedding and party gigs that I find I’m either too exhausted, too hot, too busy or on my way out to the next gig… all of which is just an excuse of course! I’ve not done any walking and that’s the bottom line… and the Baztan camino is fast approaching so I will have to change this pretty soon.
We met in the car park by the church in Douzillac and headed off up the road where our map told us we would join the camino. 30 minutes later we were indeed following arrows and chatting and talking about our time on the Frances and where we would go next. The arrows seem to point in the wrong direction but we followed them nonetheless and eventually entered a village. As we tried to find our bearings mentally, Jaqui called out “ladies… we’re back where we started” and sure enough at the top of the hill was the church car park.
