      My friend almost accidentally 'stole' a fellow pilgrim's poles. She had not brought any but was feeling the lack. The hospitalera assured us she could choose from those in the umbrella stand by the door: 'they've all been there since last year.'...

      Not being up on all of the latest brand names, I was hoping to see a post about goats being available to rent to carry packs along the route. I should think this would be a favorable option...the counties would not have to maintain the brush...

      That's it I am bringing all my servants next Camino.

      Maybe we could have threads to say ‘don’t stay in private rooms’, or ‘don’t eat in restaurants’ or ‘don’t walk in expensive walking shoes’ or ‘don’t use apps’, or ‘or don’t wear earphones’. Maybe a league ‘table of hardships’ and we can all...

      I think about the origins of the walk. I mean, do you think Kings, merchants, and peasants shared the same experience about carrying their weight on the their back? My guess is heck no. It's ALL good. Just don't try to race me if you are...

      As the French say: chacun son chemin. Who are you to judge about how other people should walk their Camino? Remember that everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.

      Carrying your pack gives you more options to stop where you like, and saves you a lot over time. However when I hurt my knee, sending my pack ahead for a week was brilliant. I had limited days only, as do many, and it meant I could continue walking.

      I have struggled with this same thought before, but then I came to realize... "who cares?" If there is someone out there who is enjoying the Camino and can afford it and carries less weight "more power to them." Last year I had a rest day in...

      There is quite an expense over time in sending a backpack ahead. Those who are healthy and strong don't have that burden of having to pay to allow a chance of walking. I carried my full pack on 6 of 8 Caminos...I've nothing to prove to those who...

      Please consider that some pilgrims are disabled, have chronic pain or limited energy, a combination thereof, or have all three. Yet they still want to do a Camino pilgrimage. Their daily suffering at home, let alone on the Camino, is oftentimes...
