Chorkie Walker set out in September 2022, to follow the Camino Francés to Santiago de Compostela, with a French porter, Isabelle.
An extract from Chorkie’s notes from the journey follows:
Day 1: The Fall
Woke up in the road, flat on my rucksack, unable to move or speak. Nomad’s nightmare. Meditated. Smiling Korean man placed me on a stone post. Waited. Isabelle came running, roped me in, no further incidents, nice scenery to Roncesvalles.
Day 2: Equinox
Still inarticulate, blissfully ignorant of people, enjoyed the walk and scenery to Zubiri. Couldn’t sleep. Overnight vision of leprechaun, said I was no different to him, hanging from a key chain, what gave me the right to defy gravity? Reasoned myself to sleep.
Day 3: Breakthrough
Rose with the dawn, restored. Leprechaun and his humans gone. Feeling chipper. Met Canadians Roger and Ruth; Juliet, English; Freda, German; and J-Y the Korean man. Got to know Isabelle better: self-made businesswoman from Lyon. Afternoon in Pamplona, acquired carabiner. Isabelle and Freda long chat, offered her a job. Breast pocket great for town tours.
Day 4: Temptation
Woken early but back to sleep till dawn. Mariana (Es), Giorgio (It), Matteo (De) and Freda (De) all at breakfast. Isabelle with R&R. Quick skim of Roger’s guide book, acquired credential in Cathedral, brisk walk to Alto de Perdón. Met J-Y with M-J, Korean woman, kept offering me water! Explained why stone circles diminish the size of humans in my eyes and met Franz, German, young and cynical, on a donkey. To Puente la Reina, chat with Ruth. Gave after-dinner speech on Camino/Daoist Ways: Franz, Freda, Matteo, Giorgio, Mariana, Is., J-Y, M-J, R&R.
Day 5: Neutrality
Speech on the bridge between man and the divine, on the Puente, and why I am so balanced. Pleasant walk to Estella, Isabelle edgy, so spent evening with R&R talking – divine consciousness and unconscious human.

The full story (fiction) is told in Hitching Down The Way: Thus Heard Chorkie Walker, by K.R. Allcoat, available as paperback (ISBN 9798274923552) and e-book.
