    Am I being a bit of a light-weight?

    Good practice! I am on the Camino now and walked 4 hours in the rain. Won't say I also didn't feel chilled, etc., but don't expect that when you do the Camino on sunny days everyday! While I didn't enjoy falling in the mud, or going down hills with it so wet, never did I appreciate a hot...

    How is the weather in the Pyrenees in the spring 2014?

    I will be one day behind you. Right now, I am seeing that leaving from SJPDP on Tuesday, but of course, that could change, but I am still optimistic as I really want to see the Napolean route as I walk thru! Sent from my iPhone using Camino de Santiago Forum

    How do I delete my Camino account here?

    I can't imagine not being part of this community even after my upcoming Camino. Sent from my iPhone using Camino de Santiago Forum

    Womens' issues while walking

    Boy am I glad I'm done with those days! Of course, there is the chance you may see me walking in my sports bra if I get too hot! Lol! Sent from my iPhone using Camino de Santiago Forum

    My Spanish is poor.

    I love pimsleur! I only did the first 30 lessons, but find that my comprehension has increased significantly. Sent from my iPhone using Camino de Santiago Forum

    First Aid kit for helping other pilgrims

    David, when are you starting? I am leaving in a couple of weeks...hope we run into each other. Sent from my iPhone using Camino de Santiago Forum

    Today my first 15 Km training

    Unless you are trying to lose weight, there is no reason to race. If your goal is to walk long distances, then learn to pace yourself... I just read something in a book (by Kurt Kootz), that goes along something like this...it's (the Camino) not about arriving but living! My plan very easy is...

    Do you prefer to walk on your own or with company?

    Well, I would like to stop at Grañón, but i am finding myself worried about the singing requirement I hear about, so some of that walking alone may be taken up memorizing a song, so I don't make too much of fool of myself. I am actually hoping for a mixture, and I think the Camino will provide...

    Post-Camino withdrawal symptoms / blues

    As I get ready to go on my first Camino, I find myself a little envious of those planning on going in the Fall! Silly, isn't it? I have already been bitten by this Camino bug, I will definitely continue some kind of involvement post-first Camino. I see myself volunteering either at the...

    Selfish? Self Indulgent?

    Think of it this way....down the line if you look back do you want to see that you spent the time on the Camino, walking with your wife or going on as always, servicing every one but yourself. No one appreciates a martyr, until they are long gone, if at all... Buen Camino!

    What is the most you have walked in a day?

    I haven't walked my first Camino yet (highly optimistic that there will be more), but other than the 15+ km from Orrisson to Roncesvalle, I am planning on starting slow for the first week with a goal of about 10-12 km. My goal is to walk the whole Camino but if I don't pace myself... I fear...

    Did movie: "The Way" motivate you...

    Yes, I have to see it inspired me. Prior to seeing the movie, I never heard of it. I saw it on Netflix. It actually took some time until I pushed the play button. But since then, my life focus has changed. I probably never would have come across this forum and wonderful community. As I...

    Albergue "pick and drop" -- What would you call it?

    I don't think this is meant to transport just your pack, but you and the pack. It sounds like a way for private albergues to get a pilgrims to their place. Providing this solution to pilgrims is thinking out of the box, and will be appreciated by tired and weary pilgrims. Another example of...

    Do people have a right to snore "chuckle"

    I have a feeling that for myself that after a full day of walking, I will so exhausted I'll fall asleep as soon as I get into bed. Kris

    Learning Spanish

    Even better is Pimsleur. Plus, you can listen to it while you walk. You build up, just like you were young and learning Your native language. I am doing the first set of thirty, almost finished (good thing since it is less than 2 months away), and I feel confident I will be able to make...

    Do I really have to suffer to be a 'real' pilgrim? - A Camino enthusiast's dilemma

    Actually, I have watched The Way many times, not for the story but for the scenery...so beautiful!
