What was your highlight of the last year?

I had a great 2 weeks travelling from London, through Brussels to Amsterdam, basically winging it all the way. Great holiday, I'll always remember it.

Also, in July, out sailing off Howth one day the wind died. Myself and the one other person tied up the boat, then spent about 1 and a half hours lying in the sun, feet dangling in the water, in flat calm conditions. The wind picked up gradually after that, and we sailed off again. Best day of my life. Nothing happened at all, but I'll always remember that day if I'm ever feeling down.

Well done. I walked all but the first three days of the 800km from St Jean Pied de Port (see what I did there! ) in 2010. The best and most enjoyable month of my life. I found it better than the Camino Finisterre and I think that was because while the first two weeks were physically hell, the second two weeks were extraordinary and I was walking 40km plus per day. There were long times walking for hours in isolation, although I still remember a lad from Derry shouting at me in a field in the middle of nowhere! Arriving late for a hostel and sleeping outside a full albergue under a canopy was one of the many memorable highlights of the walk.

Walking the Meseta under moonlight is the one thing which I regret I didn't do, but I did get up at 4.30am to walk under moonlight into Santiago de Compostela on the last day.

I'm thinking of walking either El Camino Norte or the Via de La Plata next summer. But I'm strongly tempted to return and walk the Camino Francés again, as boring as that might sound.
