I hear folks liked the post yesterday with Catherine reporting from the trail in England. That route is called Dales Way and I have no idea of it’s story or significance but that could be dug up on Google pretty easily I suppose.

We thank Catherine for that great piece, she had us there with her and Dana in the countryside and the pubs. That was so successful and now at a time when we realize that because of our enthusiasm for pilgrimage we are overburdening the Camino Frances it is also fitting. Is it time to branch out? Time to discover or rediscover new and old places?

Let us welcome people’s stories of new and different trails here at Caminoheads. We have room and time for that. We have had news of different journeys in the past but I never brought them in to talk about them in any big way. So, we will change that.

Way back when in 2014 when I was walking the last 100 kilometers on the Camino de Santiago and the flow of pilgrims seemed like a river overflowing it banks, I was happy. Happy in a sense that wasn’t it wonderful that all these people are here to participate just as I was. And yes, it is good to see the increase in pilgrims but there is a limit to that. The old too much of a good thing comes into play. So, it is fitting that we think about branching out to other trails in Spain. How about the trails in Italy and Ireland and Japan? How about trails that are not so famous? Trails where there are no trails?

Well OK, thank you Catherine for your inspiration on this. Off I go to the day. More thoughts tomorrow. Walking loves, Felipe.
