Via Podiensis/Frances
Walking into Santiago this afternoon from Santa Irene with my Camino family; just 23km left. Hoping to pick up our Compostelas from the Pilgrims Office & attend evening Mass at the Cathedral. We've booked rooms on the pilgrim floor at Albergue San Martin Pinerio. Any suggestions about a...- smj6

The plans of mice & men oft gang awry; or to make God laugh, make a plan. Due to final departure dates, three members of our little Camino family, that had formed in the Meseta, wanted to arrive in Santiago by Tuesday morning. That meant two final days of walking on Sunday & Monday covering...- smj6

It’s the final countdown: Crossing over the mountain ranges of O Courel and Os Ancares and into Galicia, I arrived at the tiny mountain village of O Cebreiro at 1,300m. This is the last mountain range I have to walk over (through its not all down hill to Santiago - there are still a few tough...- smj6

Day 44: I'm feeling drained and exhausted. For the past 44 days (except for 1 day just outside Burgos when I had a rest day due to a very heavy cold), I've been walking every day. From 8kms to 35kms (although both those are outliers), but averaging 18-20kms a day and I've covered nearly...- smj6

Today I walked over Mount Irago. I’d selected two ‘eco’ stones to lay down at the foot of La Cruz de Ferro (Iron Cross), representing ‘burdens’ that I’d carried during my pilgrimage. I found the two ‘stones’ in the first few days of my pilgrimage in the Bearnaise forests in France as I walked...- smj6

Even if you start the Camino on your own. Usually it’s not long before you meet up with like-minded people & your ‘Camino Family’ is born. A few weeks ago I was lamenting that my low daily mileage (& slower speed) was precluding me from having such a family & that I was walking on my own each...- smj6

First of all a big shout out to @annakappa & @minaleigh for their text explanation & pdf respectively on getting to Burgos by the riverside/ park route. Not only is it a lovely walk through this huge natural park and alongside the river, it also brings you out literally at the Cathedral itself...- smj6

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Tosantos: A recently reported incident of a naked masturbating man chasing a female pilgrim between Belorado & Tosantos made me more nervous, the nearer I got to the area. Two sensible suggestions from this forum: buy a whistle; walk with another pilgrim...- smj6

Why am I doing this Camino? As I entered my third week of walking, I began to question this activity. I was beginning to not enjoy it (hence stopping my blog for a while) From Villamajor del Montjardin, the gravel road wound up & down gently undulating hills. The weather was splendid & I...- smj6

I'm glad you're enjoying my occasional write ups. It's very quiet on the Camino. I walk each day on my own & rarely see anyone (which actually suits me fine). At night I might see 1 or 2 pilgrims. Obviously between two large cities it might be different ?- smj6

A couple of days ago my path crossed with Debborah & Bello from the States (members of APOC & this forum). I thought she said her 'tag' here was sbpelegrina (sb for San Berdino) but I can't seem to find it. Anyway, she's had problems with her phone. She switched to a Spanish SIM & got locked out...- smj6

Late autumn pilgrims appear to be more laid back about getting up in the mornings (even though the daylight walking hours are less). It's now 7:10 & like other mornings in other albergue, everyone is still in bed (some playing with their phones like me:D) & it's nice :)- smj6

Setting off the next morning to climb the last 200-300m to the top, I was pleased with my decision. The day was clear enough to see back to Pamplona. Reaching the top of the Mount of Forgiveness, with its now iconic metal figures of pilgrims, I paused ... not only to have my photo taken but...- smj6

Being on my own means I can change plans with no fuss. Yesterday morning I spent 1.5 hours seeing a bit of Pamplona (also the previous evening). Pavement walking hurts my heel :(, so as the clouds & rain began descending as I began ascending the Alto de Perdon hill, I decided that I was not...- smj6

The mountains did their hardest to bring me to my knees (& it was touch & go at times), but I made it together with a bunch of friends I made on Saturday night staying in a mountain refuge at Orisson. We had a bit of a party Sunday evening when we finally hobbled our way into Ronscevalles on...- smj6

Wow. That was brutal. SJPDP to Orisson. I stopped about 2/3rds up to have sandwich, rest, take off my shoes, change my socks & enjoy the view. Then I continued & finally came to a 'level' bit. But then I saw that the road turned a corner & then started climbing. At that moment, I almost lost...- smj6

Well, I managed the first part. I walked the last part of the Via Podiensis from Argagnon to SJPDP. Six days of walking around 90km. In keeping with a Spanish saying: «Para llegar a Santiago de Compostela como un joven, empieza el Camino como un viejo» – If you wish to arrive in Santiago de...- smj6
