Bilbao

The Loose-head has made it to Bilbao. Faced with a 5 hour wait for the tight-head, I headed into downtown Bilbao for a mosey around. With luck, we will have a post Camino lunch here next Saturday. What a charming place it is. I have been taught by the best

Stampede!

First, two named Stu chose the follow ‘The Way’. Along waddled a Duck in their wake and the ‘Sensible Shoes Camino, a Front-row on Pilgrimage’ was born. Then came Jean-Christophe, a slightly unbalanced second-row, keen to guide us along. On a late burst, (as is a centre’s habit) Gigi

Once again, a word from the Tight Head, or perhaps ‘Pin-head’ might be more appropriate? Is it me or is his head now too big for his body? I, of course, still have the inverse problem… As is well-known, behind every ‘good’ man, stands, well in this case, three, good

A Memory of Terry

Once again, the tight head has some words of wisdom for you all. ‘What are you going to do for your stag weekend Stu?’ Bishop mused. ‘Oh, I don’t know, few pints with the lads, bit of dinner; the usual.’ I replied. Two weeks later, I found that the
