    Musical instruments on the Camino.

    I think it is a great idea. I did the Camino Francis with a friend in April/May and we met up on a number of occasions with a Swiss woman playing the pan pipes. It’s a difficult instrument I believe and she played it extremely well. Two stand-out places where we met were in the old castle ruins...

    John Brierley is seriously ill - an invitation to send messages of thanks and support.

    I am indebted to you John for your wonderful guidebook. I purchased a copy in preparation for a Camino in 2020, which had to be cancelled due to the covid outbreak. However I did the Camino Francis in April this year with a mate of mine and we devoured your guidebook both before and during the...

    Money and Bed Bugs Issues

    Thank you David for your detailed explanation. Not really Linguistic Nerdery, indeed some authors would take a chapter to cover what you have succinctly explained in half a page. One thing we'd all agree, is that the English language is complex. It is to be hoped therefore that anyone who is...

To claim that my post suggested that guns were put at my head is absurd and I doubt anyone reading...

    Money and Bed Bugs Issues

    Strange title, however the aim of this post is to clarify some questions that regularly appear on this forum. We have just completed the Camino Francis. Important questions as follows: I cash necessary on the Camino? 1. The old adage that 'cash is king' no longer applies universally. Most...

    Advance bookings!!! (Are they ruining the Camino?)

    Have just finished the Camino Francis; started in SJPDP on April 4th. We found accommodation issues in Pamplona, crowded due to Easter, and Melide, due to the final hundred km crowd. We started booking 24hrs in advance after another close call in Punte la Reina. Phoning is sometimes difficult...

    Tracking my walk day by day on a map

    I recently started using 'Avenza Maps' for hiking both on-track and in off-track wilderness, eg South-west Tasmania. Plan also to use it for regular New Zealand South Island trips. I will definitely be using it for my (postponed) Camino trip once the virus related issues return to something...
