    My Pack Is Too Heavy: Woe Is Me!

    Don't forget that you will be wearing some of the things you call 'packing', so there will be less in the pack than your complete list. One to wear, one to wash/still wet and one other is plenty. each time I walk I make a note of what I have actually used, including the quantities, and the next...

    Random Quotes

    Or my daughter's favourite after a very bad year: Don't sweat the small stuff.... and it is mostly small stuff. This has helped me through lots of supposedly stressful situations,

    This is a very Negative Post. A Vent.

    Oh Annie, how sad you must be feeling! My husband and I have taken three years of two weeks each to walk the Camino. As each section has gone by we have encountered so much more misunderstanding about what the pilgrimage is. This last section, especially from Sarria, we came across more and...

    Taping blisters

    I use micropore for prevention, taping up areas I know are vulnerable. I also carry and use sheep's wool to protect hot spots, taping it in place the minute the rubbing begins and take action immediately. I carry extra to distribute to others I meet on the way as I know how good it is.

    Our service project on the Camino-- Picking up trash

    I carry a plastic nappy bag in my pocket (courtesy of my Grandaughter) and put my toilet tissues in that until I can empty them into a bin. The bags weigh nothing (dog pickup bags are similar). There is no way I could leave anything on the Camino except my footprints. As for other rubbish, if...

    Walk support companies

    We walked the first part of the Camino unsupported last year but due to increasing age I am looking at baggage transport and someone to book our stops for the next stage. Has anyone experience of www.waystjames.com,( called' Camino de Santiago Reservas' in Spanish) ? Most others seem incredibly...
