Have you ever tried to put a tent back into the ludicrously small bag it came in? Your Altus stuff-sack has done you a favour. It assessed your stress levels and concluded they required no further enhancement. Just roll the damned thing into... -
I agree with @C clearly and @AlainC. What if you prearranged to walk with someone and found them really annoying? It could spoil your entire Camino. Instead, engage with English speakers as you are walking. Tell them that you are practicing...

There will be many native English speakers on the Camino Frances in June. I think it is better to go on your own, and meet up with people without pre-arrangement. This will allow you to know them a bit, and get exposure to different accents...

I went to sea at 15yrs 9 months, still alive .... go for it .... just remember the NT - "be as wise as a serpent and as innocent as a dove" - lots of young folk out there, though probably not as young as you - but! you will meet people of all...

Hi all! So basically what the title says. I'm 16, I have a month off once my summer exams finish, and I just have a pull to get away from life and do something a little crazy. Not sure how to explain it. But I love the outdoors, and I think it'd...
