    Excellent read and rather amusing

    My father in law attempted it a few years ago. Unfortunately a stumble on rocks a couple of days in, resulted in a broken ankle and rather curtailed the adventure

    Spanish steps - one man and his ass by Tim Moore .

    Enjoyable jaunt through France and Spain, for the reader but certainly not for Tim or the donkey . Very funny book although i preferred his efforts to ride the tour de France route without any training and on a borrowed bike ...

    50-50 ;)

    anyway, my vehicles all go, it’s the stopping they have problems with.

    ps you can run but you can’t hide!!

    I can only just about justify 2 with the wife.

    I want to get at least two more classics to suck the rest of my time and money away.

    Always wanted to walk the Camino de Santiago - I was supposed to join a couple of friends when they walked it back in 1995 (but got a job on a boat in Greece instead - much easier! :D )

    It's still on my to-do list for sure, but it takes a fair few weeks to do the whole France and Spain bit (shorter if you just do the trail that starts in Spain) so may have to
    a/ jack in the job (possible)
    b/ take a sabbatical (unlikely)
    c/ get made redundant next year (highly likely)
    or
    d/ wait until retirement (nah, life's too short).
