    Camino by Coach

    @trecile, if you are online please close this thread, it's gone so far off topic I've forgotten what the topic was and I've run out of popcorn. Think of the children.

    Camino by Coach

    I wonder did the pilgrims of old bitch about the priests and bishops who went on pilgrimage by carriage and stayed with other clergy on the way, did they say that they weren't real pilgrims, just carriagearinos. :rolleyes:

    Camino by Coach

    A pilgrimage is defined as a journey to a Holy place. There was nothing Holy about D Day or the beaches where it happened. It was more a journey of remembrance.

    Camino by Coach

    "A pilgrimage is a journey to a holy place, which can lead to a personal transformation, after which the pilgrim returns to their daily life." Nowhere in there does it say that you HAVE to walk. Do your own pilgrimage if you really want to and don't worry about how others do it is my advice.

    Camino by Coach

    This is nothing new, saw it in 2012 and 2013, didn't like it at the time but I've lost some of my rough edges over time and now believe that a pilgrimage is a pilgrimage no matter how you achieve it. I saw the same in India some years ago, hundreds of pilgrims going on a pilgrimage of a...

    Camino fatigue?

    Health reasons kept me from doing repeat caminos so the addiction faded, I still hiked in France and Spain but on my own terms and became a fair weather hiker. After seeing the conga lines on the Frances over the last few years I'd be slow to do another one.

    Niggling hates (dislikes) on Camino

    When I travel abroad I try not to compare everything with home, it's a recipe for disaster. If you are going to do that.. better to stay at home.

    Don't you just hate it when others try to enjoy their Camino as well. 🙄

    Bikes and Graffitti

    Most of the cyclists you will encounter on the Camino are not pilgrims but local cyclists out cycling their own trails, that is not excusing their behavior. I found that staying in the middle of the path forced them to call out or stop. Some come so fast that you cannot hear them in time. For...

    no toilet paper in washroom

    I walked the whole of the Frances and on to Finisterre and Muxia and I always carried toilet paper from day one. Even when I'm at home, like Tinka, I carry tissues.

    How do you fix a stage miscalculation?

    No plan survives first contact with the enemy. 😄

    How do you fix a stage miscalculation?

    I like planning too but not to the point of spreadsheets with contingency formula. I like to make a basic plan and take it from there.

    How do you fix a stage miscalculation?

    Where is the fun in over planning, be spontaneous, just wing it.

    Dull, boring, urban and sketchy (sketchy?)

    That is correct but if you give a mod a heads up they will delete it.

    Dull, boring, urban and sketchy (sketchy?)

    I don't agree, this is one of the safest forums you will get and for the most part nasty and judgmental comments are shut down asap but some people have a tendency to feel judged or offended where none has been given.

    Dull, boring, urban and sketchy (sketchy?)

    You can delete your post for up to one week, after that you can request a deletion of post or thread. This was introduced to protect the continuity of the threads because over the years a few members got the hump and started deleting their threads and posts on other threads and did some serious...
