Starting out

After the excitement of the Ayrshire badgers I slept well. Last minute admin bits and pieces and then to the local station to start the first part of my journey to St Jean Pied de Port in the Pyrenees.

I had plenty of time on the West Coast mainline  to synthesise, from a jumble of motivations,  a concise, unpretentious reason for walking the Camino. It is work in progress.

Tonight I have got as far as Gatwick Airport. I’ve traipsed up and down these escalators several times  searching for a reasonably healthy supper which in the end was a rather nice M&S salad, and a chocolate bar.
