Right,
I think you've missed a couple of things. In no way was my initial comment in any way trolling. Unless of course your definition differs from mine.
I opened the discussion with an open heart and a query to help people to 1) understand that theft on the Camino shouldn't be feared... as...
You can't be serious... seal lion? Like it reminds me of my old Mondegreen.
Instead of "our lips are sealed", I heard, "Alex the seal". 😂

Dam... I had to look that up. 😳
Here I thought that was simple projection, my bad, I'm going back to re read my dictionary for a more appropriate response 😅
Thanks, I should've guessed. It bursts a bubble. I'm a little too grounded sometimes 😒.
I know you guys do a stunningly good job, and in no way should you feel at all the need to be more careful. It's up to me to carry a money belt or bum bag should I want to stay safe.
Or to quote an angry...
Not sure. I posted about my prescription meds going missing and got a heap of denials, or comments blaming me. Maybe I should've kept my bag on me at all times 😉.
Maybe someone could explain why it's a difficult subject? I guess I'm so used to supporting victims of crimes. Maybe I'm biased and...
As I stated at the beginning this thread was meant to foster safe discussion about how to keep yourself, and other safe. And a place to express any fears or experiences.
I'm sorry if you feel this is a difficult discussion that might provoke negative responses.
I've started this thread as I've noticed many more posts relating to theft of items. I'd like to say that largely, in my experience, the Camino is safe, and free from incident.
But in saying this, I also had stuff stolen from my bag in 2018. I posted a thread and faced a load of resistance at...
I do the same. I'm fully booked until I start the Camino. And fully booked prior to leaving.
I've even left the CF route once with a friend and took to another route for the last 200km or so. So good to feel the freedom to change something that may not be fruitful.
Spot on Trecile,
My fondest memory in 2018 was stopping at a village with a friend simply because it was nestled in a valley with a river beside.
Another time we were forced forward due to lack of accommodation. We stayed in a top notch ex monastery and had a wonderful groupwork exercise with...
Cultivating soul for me is letting go. Accepting what happens in life and finding meaning in it. For me this means finding something good in the parts of life that take us in directions we least expect.
Honouring what transpires. Sometimes this means stopping after 3 hrs in a town that looked...
So I've noticed a trend on the Forum that differs a tad since I did my first Camino in 2013.
There are more Pilgrims planning their Camino carefully. I'd rather this not be a discussion that sets people apart, but rather an exploration on the pros and cons with each "way", or opposing...
I can't critique... sorry.
I'm trying to cope with the shame of not listing every item I have into grams onto a kick arse spreadsheet 😅.
OK... Maybe you can shave the extra plastic around your licence to loose a gram 😉
The DOs and DONTs of snoring. As a general rule it works for me if I'm pondering this issue.
If you're a snorer, DO get together with other snorers and pick a composer for the night.
If you're not a snorer, DON'T get upset. Think of it as a free ticket to an orchestra recital.
Sorry.., reading over the list in case I missed something. But yea, PowerBank? Like you can charge every night, and even in a cafe at lunch if needed. Kindle? Slum it ✌️ and bike shorts? Go commando when needed. 😉. There's your sleeping bag.
