What I Found On The Camino And Beyond

Did I find myself, or was I already there? — When I set off on the Camino de Santiago, it was because I was trying to find my new way. It’s now over two months since I got back — longer than I was walking for — so what did I find when I was there? Finding My New Way Why I’ll be setting out on the Camino de Santiagonick-barlow.medium.com I didn’t head out…

The Day The Earth Caught Fire (1961)

Temperatures rise in this 60s British sci-fi classic — It’s been a little hot the last couple of days, so as a bit of preparation for the coming heatwave I watched The Day The Earth Caught Fire on Sunday evening. The side-effects of post-WW2 nuclear testing inspired a lot of media in the 50s and 60s. Godzilla was awoken…

38 Memories And 38 Photos From The Camino De Santiago

One journey seen through daily glances — I walked over a million steps between Saint-Jean-Pied-Du-Port and Cabo Fisterra.

Seeking a masculinity centered on listening — In three weeks’ time I’m going to start a 500-mile walk In three weeks’ time I’m going to start a pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago. Those are two ways of describing the same thing, right? And yet, as I get closer to my departure, I begin to see they’re…

Finding My New Way

Why I’ll be setting out on the Camino de Santiago — Ever since I got back from walking John O’Groats to Land’s End back in 2006, April and May have been all about elections. Sometimes I was a candidate in them, sometimes an agent, sometimes a campaign manager, but all of them featured me delivering lots of leaflets and knocking on…

Watching Doctor Who: Thoughts from the end

How it feels to watch 26 seasons in 26 weeks — For a long time during my Doctor Who speedrun I was thinking that I wasn’t going to get to the end. Surely at some point I’d get bored of it all, decide to take a break, realise it was far too late to finish it off in those six months…
