Our Moveable Feats

It’s now under 3 weeks until we join beaucoup de ramblers in the Massif Central, that neglected belly of the French hexagon.

Le Chemin de Puy: the OG Camino, a millennium-old trail, trudged by bishops, donkeys, athletes, crones and seekers; the penitent and the pestilent, wending towards the confluence of Santiago.

Today’s would-be pilgrims’ preparation tacks more digital than spiritual. We pore over reams of ‘slog blogs’ (we hope to join them) and web forums: early enlightenment concerning blister gore, luggage protocol and cemetery tapwater can’t but help. Forewarned, etc…

We’re at the point of no return now, like a young teen staring down the tall diving board for the first time… with all their friends stacked up on the ladder behind.

It’s declared, the plunge is inevitable. Here’s to a smooth entry.
