      zora reacted to peregrino_tom's post in the thread Unfortunate, but true... with Like Like.
      Another grumpy old so-and-so here, not giving you the advice you are asking for. I strongly recommend what Vacajoe is suggesting and starting closer to Santiago and doing one long walk. If SJPdP is important to you then give it its fair due and...

      zora reacted to Arctic_Alex's post in the thread The culture has changed...sadly with Like Like.
      True! Unless you dive deep into a conversation with another peregrino … totally ignoring yellow arrows and inspiring a total of 40ish pilgrims behind you to follow you into nowhere … did that some years ago ;-) I still use map and compass in...

      zora reacted to Arctic_Alex's post in the thread The culture has changed...sadly with Like Like.
      In fact, I myself have also changed quite a lot over the last decades as a keen hiker 😉 And yes, although I discovered the Camino late, hiking in general was different and more adventurous before the advent of the WWW, mobile devices, GPS and...

      zora reacted to Peterexpatkiwi's post in the thread Lost & Found Take care of your gear! with Like Like.
      Let me preface this by saying please understand I am not picking on anybody, I fully understand that mistakes happen and how. Been there, done that. I have been astonished to see so many lost and found reports over the last two weeks. And not...

      zora reacted to Paladina's post in the thread What are your favorite Camino misspellings on the forum? with Like Like.
      Ah, be kind! Some of the offenders may not be native speakers of English; others may be dyslexic. Years of marking semiliterate essays have taught me to censor my comments, especially after impressing on a delinquent the importance of poofreading...

      zora reacted to Rebekah Scott's post in the thread Night stage recommendation? with Like Like.
      I live on the meseta and like to star-gaze. I have found pilgrims night-walking in the neighborhood. I usually stop and ask them if everything is OK. About half of them are exhausted and lost. The other ones are hardcore pilgrims who carry tents...

      zora reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread Night stage recommendation? with Like Like.
      Someone somewhere is doing something? And presumably read on the internet. That seems a sound basis for a plan and/or an excellent excuse for some adventure. Walking the Meseta at night under a fullish moon or a blaze of stars can be a life...

      zora reacted to Vacajoe's post in the thread want solitude with Like Like.
      You can have solitude on the CF. Be the last to leave an albergue (usually around 8am) and you’ll likely have the trail completely to yourself. Spend more time in churches than in bars, pack your lunch so you can picnic solo, and choose private...

      zora reacted to DoughnutANZ's post in the thread want solitude with Like Like.
      It sounds like you will be starting your Camino with a lot of expectations. In my experience, this leads to a disappointing and boring Camino. My advice would be to worry less about your Cumbayá avoidance strategies and go with an open mind and...

      I'm so sorry for your loss, and I hope that you are getting the support that you need.
