    This was my husband. So many thanks to all of my fellow pilgrims who stopped to help and to pray and to translate for me. He was doing what he loved. Thank you for the news article link.

    zora reacted to Juno's post in the thread Tibial fracture after 600 km on French Camino with Like Like.
    I took JB’s advice on my first Camino which was the French Way and walked at my own pace which I call a purposeful stroll. On the first day over the route Napoleon to Roncesvalles, I took 9 hours. Mind you I stopped a lot and had a very good...

    Any of us who have experienced injuries on or off the Camino know that your advice is spot on! The only thing that I might add to your list is to also know your limitations and listen to your body. Maybe, and it certainly can be considered an...

    @SFHiker, Hydration is very individual. Some people need very little, some a lot. Plus, more than once on my Caminos I have found a tap/ fountain, only to find it wasn’t working. The only bar - closed. If I had already been out, even another 5 km...

    zora reacted to Cynistra's post in the thread Cancelling Camino - Soliciting Advice with Like Like.
    I'm not sure it has been explicitly said yet, so I'll just say it here: take breaks! You don't need to walk 20km in one go - and only very few people would on the Camino. There is nice places to stop and enjoy the view, there is bars, etc. For...

    @ctwillie , My husband and I walk don't walk long distances each day. Only about 16 km on average. Try not to be discouraged.

    The easy and obvious solution is to start closer to Santiago. And I find that since my only "job" on the Camino is to walk from point A to point B that I can walk farther on the Camino than I can at home where I have a dozen other tasks that I...

    zora reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread Water, water... with Like Like.
    I drink a litre between getting up, using the ablutions, remembering who I am and what it is I’m trying to achieve and setting boot to tarmac (other surfaces may be available). On the Frances, with a couple of exceptions, I’ll carry 500ml, drink...

    zora reacted to PeconicBill's post in the thread Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos? with Like Like.
    I was 69 when I walked the CF and have since walked the Portuguese route, the Le Puy-Santiago route, and the route from Arles to Leon (so far). Walking the Camino triggered an interest in medieval history and I am now in the dissertation stage...
