    Finisterre -it’s raining cats and dogs- should I just sleep in?

    Could not have said it better

    I think I'm losing it

    Like you,I am always thinking about the last camino.I am walking about half of the GR11 next fall,and find that the planning is half the fun. Be easy with yourself!

    A Big Boo to Stone Stacking

    Having read all of the posts,I am indeed puzzled. With the virus rampaging in Spain and around the world,fretting about stacks on rocks would only seemingly come from a well-fed,comfortable,developed country. I missed the one place on The Aragonne last fall that had a patch od stone-stacking,and...

    All of a sudden no motivation to start the camino

    Hello Cheryl, I.cannot believe how much time and energy has been spent on this post. If you do not want to walk a camino-do not. I think we start thinking that everyone is out walking the Camino. Actually,250000 is a small fraction of the world population of 7.5 billion. I walked the Wonderland...

    All of a sudden no motivation to start the camino

    The primitive is a wonderful walk,and the walk through asturia,is like going into the middle ages with the stone houses and small villages. The way is not so hard as I will be 75 in August,walked it in 2017 and had no problems. I cannot imagine a Swiss person having much trouble. Bueno Camino.

    All of a sudden no motivation to start the camino

    If starting from your home seems to be unexciting for you,maybe you could go to Arles or LePuy,and walk on this Camino for several weeks. Perhaps this will when your appetite and make you come back for more. You have already done the Frances,so maybe you feel that walking would just be a re-do...

    Cathedral Closed...Is the Camino still worth it?

    Upon reflection, since you live so close,why not walk,and come again some time to visit the city and go to mass. Vacations usually go south when we try to do too much. Just a thought.

    Cathedral Closed...Is the Camino still worth it?

    To walk a Camino is such a wonderful thing,it would be a shame to forego it due to some technicality. Plans are just that,plans. I wanted to go see the museum of fossils in Paris this summer,just noted that the fossils will not be on display in 2019. "The best laid plans of mice and men". I will...

    Overthinking Camino number 2...

    Nicky, I was fretting about the site in Lescar,France. Walking there from the airport,making a reservation,etc.And,my walk was not even until September! The new Gronze Arles changed everything! That bite was not open and a new one had been opened across town. This was my lesson on planning for...

    You Don't Have to be a Lemming...

    VN, I could not agree with you more. Having viewed the de lana camino,I wondered why more people did not walk it. I am always surprized when almost everyone suggests the frances as a must-do for a person's first camino. I thought any camino would make a good first camino(maybe I am just naive)...

    Seeking Unpaved Vertical Change

    Jeri. I confess that I did not know what the olvidado was,so had to look it up. It seems to be a great alternate to the Frances,and it passes through la robla,which is the first stop on the Salvador,if which I am sure is no surprize to you. It would seem that you are trying to avoid the...

    Seeking Unpaved Vertical Change

    Jeri, i am74 and found the primitivo very do-able. I feel that I will handle the argonne and salvador as well. If you are reasonable fit and can do some uphill training, You should have no problem. Often times our biggest obstacle is ourselves! If 5 days on the salvador seems too hard,take 6...

    Seeking Unpaved Vertical Change

    Jeri, I have only walked the primitivo,and noticed it had a fair amount of ups and downs. I am going to do the argonne and salvador this fall,so will get plenty of ups and downs. I would suggest that you read about the salvador,which should satisfy you yen for ups and downs. Consider doing the...

    Seeking Unpaved Vertical Change

    If you would add that Argonne to your list this year,you would be the best person to answer your own question. I will be waiting for your opinion.

    Women not as strong as men.

    A woman this last summer shattered the unassisted traverse of the pacific crest trail. 2650 miles in 62 days,including re-supplies and everything else.We can see who is the weaker sex! We have seen the weaker and it is us!

    What was the biggest surprise of your Camino?

    Being a happy positive fellow,I was surprized how happy I became I was on the Primitivo in 2017! I found myself singing out loud,if I was alone or if others were around! I have been fortunate to have brought this bliss home with me,and feel the same when I think about the camino. It has...

    Which route? Best walking surfaces

    I walked the Primitivo last fall and loved it! I am 74 and just in average shape and had no trouble. Those who say it is difficult must live in Kansas! I walked the hospitalis route and was a bit disappointed. If I were to walk it again,I would take the other route. I took the Camino Verde from...
