    Why we walk - and courage

    Well, I made it but it wasn't without it's challenges & as my post suggests, a hell of a lot of pain! I'm just so grateful to everyone who offered their suggestions, kind words & support when I was stuck in London. It was a really scary time & I honestly thought my Camino was over. Little did I...

    Why we walk - and courage

    Wow! Thank you so much Jill. That's incredibly high praise coming from you :) Allow me.... Its been a little over 3 weeks now since my last day on the Camino de Santiago & in the space of that time, the memory & the mourning for being back on The Way has its moments of feeling palpable. The...

    Leaving on my first Camino in the morning & I'm terrified. Please help!

    So, I made it to Logrono, all the logistics worked out & I’m now here messaging from Leon after walking in at around lunchtime. I can’t believe I’ve made it this far & every day I’m just so thrilled to be here. That being said, starting in Logrono with an injury has caused new injuries along...

    You are an absolute rockstar! Thank you! I’ve only had my phone to rely on hence why it’s been an issue. Fantastic! Thank you!

    Brilliant! The website is a bit vague regarding details and the booking section doesn’t seem to work, so it made me feel a bit nervous relying too heavily on the 6.30pm service being legit. Hopefully it’s all systems go when I get there on Saturday

    Has anyone heard of Cuadra Bus? I’ve found this website that indicates that there’s a 6.30pm bus from Bilbao to Logrono but it’s vague & I don’t seem to be able to book http://cuadrabuslineas.com/en/horarios-y-frecuencias/

    I did look at that option, however I’m planning to walk out of Logrono on Sunday morning & the post office isn’t open on a Sunday

    Hi Pilgrims, As a lot of you might know, I had to unfortunately cancel my Camino last week, 11 hours before flying to SJPDP with an ankle injury. I’ve had time to rest & get a proper diagnosis here in London, so now I’m ready to head to the Camino & join my friends in Logrono. I’m currently...

    Leaving on my first Camino in the morning & I'm terrified. Please help!

    So a week has gone by now since I had to make the decision to pull out starting my camino in SJPDP with my friends. It’s been a really rough week here in London, but after a lot of appointments and troubleshooting I finally got a diagnosis on my ankle. I’ve developed Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome after...

    Leaving on my first Camino in the morning & I'm terrified. Please help!

    It absolutely breaks my heart to post this, but in the past few hours it’s finally all come crashing to a head. I won’t be leaving tomorrow on my Camino. The Camino I’ve spent 2 years planning, obsessing over & have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on. All the flights, accommodation...

    Leaving on my first Camino in the morning & I'm terrified. Please help!

    I just got back from the physio. He was really good. Its good news and bad news unfortunately. He used an sonar ultrasound & thinks he found a stress fracture in my ankle. He said that the strapping will have made it worse because it hasn’t allowed me free movement of my calf, so for now I don’t...

    Current state of affairs here in London

    Leaving on my first Camino in the morning & I'm terrified. Please help!

    So it’s 24hrs now until I fly out to SJPDP & I’ve just confirmed my accommodation. I’ve woken up in London this morning with a new determination to make this work, one way or another. I like the idea of cycling as an option if I’m physically not able to walk, but I’m sure as hell going to try...

    Leaving on my first Camino in the morning & I'm terrified. Please help!

    This message means everything to me Robo, I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am that you took the time to share your experience. I know every situation & every injury is different but like you, if I can just take the fear out of it by offering myself one day at a time it might help. I...

    Leaving on my first Camino in the morning & I'm terrified. Please help!

    Just quickly before I go to sleep, I think might have thought of a more realistic Plan B. Nothing has changed & I don’t feel that waiting around here in London is going to be too helpful either. I’m going to go attempt the first day with my friends, if it’s no good I’ll bus to Pamplona which...

    Leaving on my first Camino in the morning & I'm terrified. Please help!

    I would actually be incredibly surprised if it was a sprain but I’m prepared to keep an open mind. There’s been no swelling or bruising, which I would have expected & it’s now been 10 days since the symptoms started which have only gotten worse. Obviously the doctor I saw has a plethora of...

    Leaving on my first Camino in the morning & I'm terrified. Please help!

    So I’ve just left the hospital here in London. The doctor seems to think it’s a sprain and he’s strapped it with tape all the way up my calves to support my ankle so that I can walk. It feels slightly more supported but it’s still painful, so I’m just going to see how it goes. I do remember...

    Leaving on my first Camino in the morning & I'm terrified. Please help!

    Thanks Jill, I’m going to get myself a hospital here this morning and see what they say. If it’s not a stress fracture, then it’s has to be tendonitis. Better to rule out the fracture first I guess. I’m just horribly devasted, I can’t stop crying, I feel so I overwhelmed & lost. Regardless, I’m...

    Leaving on my first Camino in the morning & I'm terrified. Please help!

    Hi everyone, I’m here in London now reading your messages and they’ve been incredibly touching & lovely. I’m extremely grateful to everyone who’s taken the time to offer me their advice & support. Unfortunately after a day of wandering today my ankle is absolutely terrible. It’s far worse...
