Thank you.
[Moderators, feel free to move this if I posted in the wrong place.] What does it take to be able to walk a Camino after a heart problem? I guess I will see for myself. Tomorrow morning I am having surgery to implant a pacemaker. It was the... -

Hi, Buen Camino! 1. Nope, not mental in any way at all - getting up in the middle of the night and booking to go next day is not wildly uncommon. You can 'train' on Camino by starting with short days and building up - ignore the 'day stages' in...

jblaskovits reacted to BeatriceKarjalainen's post in the thread LIVE from the Camino Arlés in April with Thank you.
I just made it to the train. So Arlés here I come. And I just got a friendly mail from one place in Vauvert that I have a booking and if my back hates me then I can cancel or arrive as late as I please. So that’s sorted.
