    Why has my post about a Spanish peregrina I met on the way to Muxia been taken down?

    What, if anything, was wrong with it?

    I'm still walking a bit of the Muxia Camino

    I went in mid January to house/cat sit. The lady who owns the house had an accident, broke a bone in her foot, and I was happy to stay on until she recovered. Not stuck exactly.

    I'm still walking a bit of the Muxia Camino

    I will stay here to early June and then go back to Belfast to see how dusty and neglected my house is after 5 months away. No plans after that except to wait for the Caminos to open again.

    I'm still walking a bit of the Muxia Camino

    I'm staying in a house in Muxia which is about 2km from the Camino. I walk those 2km and then about 1km on the Camino for my daily exercise. I haven't seen another walker for weeks.

    A prayer for a Camino friend.

    Sad news, I'm afraid. I've just heard that my friend died an hour ago.

    A prayer for a Camino friend.

    A lady from Canada, who I met on the Frances three years ago, has just walked with me from Le Puy to Cahors. Towards the end of our walk she said she wasn't feeling very well and we got trains to Bayonne so she could fly from Bairritz to visit family in England. I've just heard this morning that...

    SJPP is Packed with Pilgrims.

    They didn't give us mats. One young lady brought her own inflatable matress. She must have had a comfortable nights sleep as she was the last one up.

    SJPP is Packed with Pilgrims.

    I'm in a sports hall in SJPdP tonight with about 60 other pilgrims. I'm a bit too long in the tooth for sleeping on floors. I left the Le Puy route yesterday because of difficulties finding beds. I'll get the train back to Bayonne tomorrow morning, have already booked 2 nights in an hotel...

    What are the times buses leave Pamplona for St Jean?

    I've been 3 nights in a Pamplona hotel, coughing up dark phlegm with a headache and feeling bad. I've decided to go home. Anyone know the times of buses from here to St Jean?

    Someone died from the car accident today

    Injury, and perhaps even death, are closer to us on the Camino than we might like to imagine. I was walking the Valcarlos route a couple of days ago and stopped in a cafe in Arneguay for breakfast. An old man, a local, standing at the bar having a morning coffee collapsed and the sound of his...

    Pamplona during San Fermin

    Is the albergue in Trinidad de Arre open during the festival?

    Fear of heights (don't laugh- It's real!)

    There are two alternatives to get you to the high bridge. As you approach Portomarin you come to a sign which describes the way to the left as steep, rocky, and possibly dangerous when wet. The path here to the right is easier. Both eventually take you to the bridge.

    Fear of heights (don't laugh- It's real!)

    I think the route you mention is one of two available. There are signs on the trail which direct you to a slightly longer but easier path.

    Fear of heights (don't laugh- It's real!)

    My photo of the bridges, posted at 12.30 yesterday, was taken in the autumn. Stains on the bridge supports show what the water level is earlier in the year.

    Fear of heights (don't laugh- It's real!)

    I'm sorry, I've misremembered. I did cross the high bridge once and gave Portomarin a miss. I turned left and walked until I came to the next bridge but, as has been said, it only crosses an arm of the lake. It seems the high bridge can't be avoided.
