Hola First name / pilgrim 👋

👣💙💛💙👣

 

It's hotting up in Spain this week and it was a joy to share a few days on the Camino del Norte with my lovely friend Rebecca Norton from Sense of Direction.

 

She is a coach like me who loves the outdoors and has a fabulous book called RHYTHM: Practical tools & ideas for finding balance, harmony and fun.

 

She brought some amazing weather, and we stayed in three beautiful places along our 60km stretch.

 

Walking, talking, eating, resting, swimming…. it was perfect!

Have you ever considered a shorter Camino?

 

I love a few days to ponder and I feel like I can slot back into the Camino really quickly now I have done a few.

I have been working on a few more tips and this one is particularly important to me to keep my rhythm on a Camino (maybe Rebecca's book inspired me to share it 😉) .

 

It's about having things you may need easily accessible, which the MASSIVE pockets on my Osprey Lumina 45 are great for.

Please excuse the fact you are looking up my nose for a lot of this video - really need to sort that out 🙄🤪

Another top tip is to always try the door of a bar even if it looks shut. Often there aren't many signs of life BUT they may well be open, so give it a go!

Another thing I have been doing every day this week is bouncing on my amazing rebounder. It's such good fun 🤩 and must be working as loads of my muscles are aching, not just my legs.

 

I found a great website and am trying out their free plan. I'll let you know which it is if I decide to continue with it.

 

The other thing I tried was Ecstatic Dance.

 

What's that? I hear you cry…

 

It's like 90's old School Rave without the late night or drugs 🤣🤭

God, it took me back!

 

Very strange in a beautiful old building on a sunday lunchtime in a sleepy Spanish village. I will definitely be going to more!

 

What can you do to add more fun to your life or exercise routines?
