    Feeling alone and anxious

    Hi David, I desperately wanted to travel the world when I left school and I managed to take the 1st step, and then my friends left after 1 month and I returned home with them as I didn't feel that I was confident enough to do it alone. That is one of my biggest regrets in my life. You have taken...

    Hi All, I have a 20l Osprey pack, which I was hoping to take in May on the Primitivo, however I am now looking at the Talon 33 but have just come across Lundhag Jamten 35 and it is carry on size and at a reasonable £65.

    newbie seeking advice Camino Primitivo

    Hi Pixel, I am going to change my return flight after reading the replies to your post as I am keen to spend a day at Lugo. I stupidly only had 12 days to complete as my return flight left at 10:30 from Santiago. I am moving my return flight back 2 days so I can relax and enjoy the scenery and...

    newbie seeking advice Camino Primitivo

    Hi Pixel, I am doing the Primitivo as my first Camino in May this year, and I will be solo. I am a little nervous to be honest but also very excited. I did have a look at the others and this one appealed to me the most due to the hills and scenery. I am comfortable alone, but I am hoping to meet...

    Camino Primitivo - Scared of Heights

    Dbier, thanks for your comment. I will try my best to stay on the path, but if I stray there is like you say a possible next time. Living in England I am used to the fluctuating weather and to be fair being a ginge, if it is misty it saves using some suncream, every cloud... Buen Camino for 25

    Camino Primitivo - Scared of Heights

    Thanks. I have seen the dam crossing on a video log and I will have to prepare myself for that.. Hopefully I will have the company of other pilgrims at that stage too.. Or I may crawl

    Camino Primitivo - Scared of Heights

    Thank you. That is true. I have surprised myself a few times and even managed to walk over a glass floor, it did take me about 30mins to get the courage. Well done for completing your moment of reckoning..

    Camino Primitivo - Scared of Heights

    If the path is not that close, I should be fine - 2mts (metres?) Now I know it is there I may brave a peek.

    Camino Primitivo - Scared of Heights

    I will keep my eyes out, and if I am troubled the road sounds like a good option. Knowing my luck I will get run over here

    Camino Primitivo - Scared of Heights

    Thanks for the photos. The forested switchbacks look ok, similar to a small mountain near Bergen Norway, and that was ok. Your last picture is stunning, looking forward to seeing that in person.
