    LIVE from the Camino STOLEN BACKPACK 16.7.2016

    Am so sorry to read this Anja22. And your tale of other folk losing their possesions. All I can say is that when I was in Santiago in March I saw lots of rucksacks and sleeping bags at the side of buildings with no-one near so obviously it was safe then. Presume other factors come into play...

    Need some help thanks

    I walked the Camino Ingles for a week in early spring. The weather glorious, the camino kind, although sometimes a little challenging, for an oldie unfit sedentary person like me it was everything and surprisingly more than I'd anticipated. Buen Camino!

    First time pilgrim!

    I had never travelled alone either before I did my camino. People are surprisingly generous with their time and welcome.. you'll be fine. Buen Camino!

    Feeling rather irritated....

    I completely understand how the planning and fretting can drive you crazy.. it did me. I was soooo caught up with arranging everything and controlling everything before I went. In the end I walked without using any of the maps/books/guides/downloaded blogs trusting the golden arrows and the...

    Complete beginner... which route?

    I've just walked the Camino Ingles in just under a week..Never done anything like this in my life. Unfit, sedentary job.. some of it was very demanding some blissfully serene. From towns and little villages, farms, forests, and even a beautiful bay, all sorts of scenery and terrain. Possibly the...

    LIVE from the Camino Emotional arrival

    Oh something I have learned... when you're wearing your headphones don't dance like a crazy person because although you haven't seen another person for an hour , there's bound to be a whole troupe of school kids looking at you ....

    LIVE from the Camino Emotional arrival

    However I've passed through some beautiful places I may need to return to with more time to properly enjoy. All in all I feel overwhelmed.. both by the camino/my journey (horrid hackneyed phrase).. and the glory of Santiago

    Haha.. no.. this was enough of a pilgrimage. It took nearly 60 years to need this much penance. . ;)

    LIVE from the Camino Emotional arrival

    Finally here. I know I haven't walked the million miles other have.. but for me it has been an achievement, which at several points I thought I'd give up; the camino seemed never ending. . And perhaps it isn't.

    300 km instead of 100?

    My thoughts exactly. . Although I'm not in my 70ies yet..300km would've dissuaded me from the idea of the Ingles in March , which will be my only pilgrimage .

    How do you choose the route for your first Camino?

    I have been considering my Camino for a long time but once I'd heard that there was a Camino Ingles - it seemed natural that as an English person this was the one for me. Given that it should also only take a week , which is my usual holiday allocation, and not toooo difficult for a newbie, and...
