I walked, at the age of 70, almost 2,000 kms from the Pyrenees to Northern England. My book - "Vic's Big Walk" – is about the walk - and much else besides. "Living In The Real Cyprus" - quickly followed. Both books are now available in both e-book form and in paperback. The walk raised funds for Pancreatic Cancer research. Just click the blue donate button. All proceeds of all books go direct to the same cause. See below to read about my new fundraising project, Vic Talks The Walk

Staying Alive ...
... So sang the BeeGees. Still do, occasionally.
But this is a reference to my concern, expressed in other posts on this blog from time to time, about knowing what the traffic behind me is doing. I mentioned the other day that a simple solution, at least worth trying, would be to attach a bicycle mirror to a walking stick.
In a comment on the "Bob Dylan" posting a few days ago, "Chrisgod" tells me that he has seen such a device on sale in Skipton recently. I am hoping he will get back to me so I can learn more about this (or, if he lives in Skipton, I hope he can get hold of one and send it to me - of course I will reimburse him).
In the meantime, if anybody else knows about these gadgets, I would be keen to know about them. You can find my e-mail address in the "About Me" section on the right side of this page.
"Cajensis" also left a comment saying that he had seen similar contraptions in a Hallmark store. Not too many Hallmark stores in the Pyrenees - where are they?
