The Le Puy Chemin is definitely worth walking- lots of magnificent scenery, lots of history and historic buildings, amazing architectural structures for the times. Interesting paths through forests, farms, towns and cities. Plus interesting people along the way. The first 2 weeks are very steep, lots of going up and coming down steep rocky paths. We heard from other more seasoned hikers that they felt that the first 14 days of this Camino was the toughest hike they had ever done. So be prepared! It seems that 20km/day is a reasonable pace considering the hills and rocks, plus you also want to have time to stop and enjoy the scenery along the way as well as when you get to each days destination.

Sometimes the book/maps/apps overestimate how long it takes to get from town to town, - be warned!
This part of France seems to close fir the season from 1st October, not many places for food or accommodation are open. You can still find something but your choices are limited. Plus there are a lot less people doing the walk, so it could be quite lonesome.

The weather is still good though- not too hot or too cold.
Nearly everyone on a camino takes away something from it. In my case - a realisation that everyone is different, we all have our idiosyncrancies, and we all have our good points - appreciate diversity! And concentrate on the good in people.

Overall- it was a beautiful and worthwhile hike, can thoroughly recommend it. If anyone would like more information about this walk - I am always up for a chat! Au revoir,  A bientot.

Issues brain coaching can help you overcome

Narrabri Courier 31 July 2017

10 Examples of how brain coaching can help:

  • Fear of Heights
  • Fear of Flying
  • Fear of Water
  • Social anxiety
  • Dealing with difficult situations
  • Public Speaking Confidence
  • Sport/performance confidence and consistency
  • Sleeplessness
  • Sense of self-worth
  • Reduce chocolate cravings

This list is only some of the ways that b rain-coaching can help.  In short - what it does is help to increase your motivation and confidence with whatever you want to improve on.

It helps to break your old habits and entrenched ways of thinking negatively about yourself, and helps to create new habits and new pathways of thinking positively and then being proactive about what you want to see improved about your life - be less stressed, more relaxed and feel more regarded.

Helen Dugdale, founder of Australian Brain Coaching is one of only three people in Australia who has trained with the psychologists in Germany who developed this method.
