    Camino fatigue?

    Spare a thought for those of us who never HAD it in the first place (but still take an active interest in Camino "things")

    Roads versus Trails

    My hobby is to enhance these Street View panos into "virtual tours" along with flyovers, sat nav, elevations etc but it is a big job and I tend to get bored and head off to another trail (or country) and come back later. At present I am doing last 6 days of Frances (from O Cebreiro) and it was...

    Roads versus Trails

    If you are into spending time doing prep then the best way is to actually LOOK at the trails in Google Maps via Street View panos - there are 200 billion of them - you will find a great number of trail "types"

    Best app to accurately record distances, elevation and descent per day

    Yes this is what I was doing using OutdoorActive as stated above. To use simply press START and put in pocket and at end press STOP Then you can import to Google Earth as both a STATIC file of the route and as a dynamic file so when you play the file it goes at correct speeds and pauses where...

    Best app to accurately record distances, elevation and descent per day

    Yes it is confusing and with respect it would be better if the OP simply said what she WANTS, but if she really is after a recorder (eg to import into Google Earth and make a flyover?) then OutdoorActive is the one I use for such tasks. She can actually PAUSE it for a coffee break or simply...

    Best app to accurately record distances, elevation and descent per day

    Now I am confused. At #4 you recommend wise pilgrim app so are you saying it is a record and not directions app?

    Best app to accurately record distances, elevation and descent per day

    just use Directions in Google Maps - no need for eye strain as Google lady will simply say "turn here" etc wherever needed from your pocket

    Wisepilgrim app

    An example would settle all matters quickly

    The Way 2 - Characters

    Pity about Sarah who seems to have been fully "reformed" in her The Way "outcomes" (as we must say now for 2020s monetary policies) so we don't see her any more. She will in fact do another Camino but it will be like Shirley McClain and she will keep reciting her mantra of "do not talk to...

    The Way 2 - Characters

    Well another thread here says Tom heads off to do some good for OTHERS pro bono as an eye doctor in the jungle some place for Doctors without Borders (or maybe Fred Hollows Foundation) or whoever rather than return to a Camino trail - but we are also told Jack contacts him with some "ground...

    A long (winding) road.

    Thats why IMHO you should have a pano camera on your hat - then we ALL get to see all the angles

    The Way, My Way - the movie

    What is the queimada spell? The Conxuro da Queimada is the reading of an ancient “spell” from the Galician tradition. Some say this dates back to Celtic times. It is believed to have begun when Paganism was widely practiced in Galicia (the final state along the Camino de Santiago to the...

    The Way, My Way - the movie

    I know you will all jump down my throat for asking but who is Johnny Walker - the one on the scotch bottle? (still walking) or is he a Home and Away star?

    The Way, My Way - the movie

    OK so it is an Australian film about the Camino so it will be interesting to see if it becomes another Crocodile Dundee type cult movie for people like you in Canada

    Are the distances on Gronze correct?

    Let me make it clear I am NOT looking for any "recommendations" as my work is all "hobby mode" - I was merely wondering if Camino pilgrims in general were using Google SatNav for walking same as they (and most of the world) does in a car? But putting that aside I have now convinced Google that...

    The Way: how do you feel about THE movie?

    I would first politely ask you if YOU have worked out why you are wanting to do it again. You don't have to give her the same answer but it seems you should work that out first before you take on the wife

    The Way: how do you feel about THE movie?

    The main aspect of this movie I liked was the "structure" which Emilio and Marty came up with for Emilio's first big direction project. All new directors try to aspire to the genius of Clint Eastwood eg M Night Shyamalan There is only one Clint movie where he kills himself but that was at the...

    The Way: how do you feel about THE movie?

    Sarah started it with her tirade to Tom calling him Boomer accusing him of all manner of illegal acts for which he was now "doing penance". By then Tom and Joost had an "understanding" and as Joost kept referring to his fat problem Tom called him fatman AND it was taken as a "term of...

    The Way: how do you feel about THE movie?

    Yes Sarah IS a nightmare but may I ask if you have any ideas about who Emilio/Marty based her character upon?

    The Way: how do you feel about THE movie?

    And WHY do you think Emilio/Marty MADE them unlikeable? (particularly the sad character of Sarah) A clue is from the director himself who says the movie is about Americans "have lost the plot". And "transformations"? there were NONE - sarah kept smoking and said these things never work and...
