On the Camino

Episode 3 is on BBC2 at 9:00 on the 19th April. The BBC website ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0004b6f ) says that: The pilgrims are on the tenth day of their journey, with 65km still to go before they reach Rome. Today’s route takes them through an isolated and overgrown wood which is a total revelation to Mehreen, who has never experienced anything quite like it before. The group arrive in Sutri, a medieval town with an even older history. They visit a magnificent Roman amphitheatre, and the pilgrims don’t hesitate to take centre stage. Lesley auditions for ‘producer’ Les, fittingly with a piece from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, while Maximus Gregorius (aka Greg) is challenged to a gladiatorial tussle by Brendan.

For Easter last year I decided to make my family something that could be attached to the outside of our bags and that showed that even if we are slow walking the Camino we get there! Hence I made everyone Sloths with Velcro arms and legs allowing them to be attached to our backpacks

This episode is on BB2 on 12th April and the BBC website ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00042tr ) says that: ' In this second episode, it is day four, and Stephen, Greg, Brendan and Les wake up in a yurt. They are all staying in a hostel on a Roman road in a tiny village in the Tuscan Appenines, and they are beginning to realise how important the simple life is to the pilgrim experience – especially when a donkey appears in the kitchen to try and eat their breakfast.

There seem to be a lot of Pilgrim statues on the Camino!
