Or so we told ourselves as we set off on my second training walk for the Camino Francés.
Not quite the Sèvre Way in Niort as originally planned that pleasure is postponed until Saturday, along with a wander around the market.
Our route took us into Le Busseau, where we joined the local community to celebrate winter in the best possible way: vin chaud and a slice of galette des rois. A most welcome repas mid-walk, warming hands, hearts, and spirits alike.
As the walk unfolded, the sun began to shine, turning it into a perfect winter walking day despite the cold.
11.5 kilometres in total, a wee bit more than the 1st of January and once again it felt so good to be out, stretching my legs and building steady Camino strength. I’m still completely in love with my barefoot walking shoes… happy feet make happy miles.
Buen Camino 😘
