When I retired I discovered long-distance walking, a natural extension for a lifelong walker with newly found time. In France I walked 500-miles on the GR65 and 600 on the GR653 and two 100-mile walks in Britain. In 2015, I am planning another 630-mile walk. It is a secular walk in GB and I am curious if the same feeling of camaraderie exists on secular walks. All over Europe, pensioners are taking to the road, or rather to the path, walking town to town, hostel to hostel, whether on pilgrimage or for sport, and I have enthusiastically joined their ranks. I write short stories, articles and plays as well as books and of course, letters.
