    Brisbane peregrine/as - where did you hill train

    Glenda Mac, I walked my first two Caminos, Lisbon to Fatima, & Porto to Santiago, after a huge amount of training on Mt Coot-Tha. The tracks there are marvellous for training for the Camino. There are the easier, kinder trails to start with, then you can proceed through the different grades of...

    Anyone taken a horse on the Camino?

    I’ve seen at least three groups, usually four to five people, on the Camino Português. They organise the entire Camino in advance & have feed for the horses & a good support crew. The one group I talked to said they rented the horses from somewhere down below Lisbon. They also plan ahead the...

    The ‘for real’ Camino Poutuguês Coastal/Senda Litoral is a great walk along the Atlantic passing through seaside towns & small beach communities. It does have a different vibe from the Central route with less emphasis on the historical aspects. Both routes have their attractions & must-sees...

    Welcome, @charlotte19675! Starting on the Camino Frances is great. Haha, fog, not what you want when you’re climbing the Pyrenees! Is there scenery in fog or does it drift away & give you tantalising glimpses?

    Fantastic, @Anamya & @kirkie, both of you on the Caminho Português! I love Portugal & the Portuguese people are so friendly & helpful. Bom Caminho! I started the Chemin de Puy & I’m close to halfway, but some friends started the Florida Keys Trail so I switched over to that. I should finish...

    Hola, everyone! I have finished the Arizona Trail which had some spectacular scenery, especially the Grand Canyon & the Vermillion Cliffs. I was amazed at all the flowers that flourish in the desert! I have now started walking the Chemin Le Puy which @Priscilla NC has just finished today. It's...

    Wow, henrythedog! First, welcome to virtual walking. The Camino Frances was fun. Second, that's some ambition, to tackle 15,000km for your second walk. Good for you!

    @Jeff Crawley = so well done! Completion of your Camino, even virtually, is a great achievement. You have walked every km/mi! Enjoy the Portugues Camino! Are you walking the Central or Senda Litterol/Coastal? Both are beautiful.

    @kirkie, I'm glad you're still trudging! Where are you vwalking now? I'm officially retired now & I'm gradually getting into a walking routine. I'm still part of a work team vwalking from London to Lapland & we're nearly finished so I'll be quitting that team then. Keep on keeping on!

    Ola, Neighbours - Band of Trudgers! I’m back, haven’t been on here for so long. I’ve just been reading everyone’s posts to catch up. You’re all doing marvellously! I’m still walking the Arizona Trail, way over half way & looking forward to seeing the Grand Canyon sometime soon. Hello to our new...

    @kirkie, I do enjoy that song & it was nice to see Celtic Thunder among the singers. I've been a fan of theirs for years. Keep on walking, @kirkie ! I'm enjoying walking the Arizona Trail though I'm ready for a change of terrain, lol. @Bala, enjoy Le Puy, let us know how it goes. I might try...

    @Jeff Crawley, no need to hurry. You're doing other good things. I hope to see Leon one day. I'm hoping to walk the Camino Madrid (when there's a reliable vaccine & fewer restrictions) to Sahagun & walk on to Leon. @lavender girl, I hope your health improves with your walking regime. Take it...

    So pleased you made it, @Bala! One day I will see Muxia for real. Enjoy the walk to Finisterre. I'm walking the Arizona Trail & should be in Tuscon in a few days. I'm enjoying seeing all the desert flowers.

    Oh, @Levi, I remember that day's walk! I didn't make it the first time, caught a ride for the last 4km to Santarem thanks to Mario from the albergue sending a cab for me. That last 16km stretch on a really hot day was hard. But....the second time I was better prepared & it wasn't so hot so I...

    Go, @kirkie ! I hope you find the foot bath, lol. I'm enjoying walking the Arizona Trail. It started from the Mexican border & goes up towards the Utah border. So it starts out a dry & dusty trail but along the way are these amazing desert flowers. I never knew there were so many flowering...
