I'll check and get back to you.I don't think I've made it to six days.
Yes ! I confess going back April 2024!so now I am pouting and pulling up maps for a Camino in 2025. I could be dead by then! Why did I come home???
Yes, me too. I'm hoping to go back in April 2024, but haven't decided yet "where/which route/s" since I recently returned from the Camino de Madrid.Yes ! I confess going back April 2024!
The Camino is a huge part of who I am today. It has become my passion, and I have found a great community both online and in real life because of it.SInce the Camino first became part of who I am
Tom, I’ve hiked hard country, climbed peaks with a sub 30% success rate. Been on the wrong side of interesting borders when those borders got interesting. I first walked a “Camino” in 2012. I’d walked quite a bit of those roads for many years but in 2012 I deliberately walked a “Camino”.SInce the Camino first became part of who I am, in 2013, I have long since given up even trying or OT thinking about the Camino, or some aspect of it, 24 x 7.
Stated concisely, the Camino de Santiago it is part of who and what I am.
Anyone else feel this way?
There are lots of hiking trails near me, but simply hiking/walking doesn't fill my Camino need. I love having a destination to walk to every day. Walking in circles doesn't do it for me. And I love the camaraderie of the Camino.The camino is not calling out to me like it did the one and only time I walked, back in 2013. There are lots of trails here for me to walk, and I walk them regularly. What I do miss is the abundance of bars and cafes along the way where I can stop and recoup, while I pass the time chatting with like minded people.
You speak for me, @trecile.There are lots of hiking trails near me, but simply hiking/walking doesn't fill my Camino need. I love having a destination to walk to every day. Walking in circles doesn't do it for me. And I love the camaraderie of the Camino.
Same for me.There are lots of hiking trails near me, but simply hiking/walking doesn't fill my Camino need. I love having a destination to walk to every day. Walking in circles doesn't do it for me. And I love the camaraderie of the Camino.
We are also hopeful of walking another Camino from April 2024!Yes, me too. I'm hoping to go back in April 2024, but haven't decided yet "where/which route/s" since I recently returned from the Camino de Madrid.
It does depend on the world situation, wars, new covid type variants, etc...this is Not a political post.

Tincatinker, I think you just composed a very good explanation of what the hell happened there.Tom, I’ve hiked hard country, climbed peaks with a sub 30% success rate. Been on the wrong side of interesting borders when those borders got interesting. I first walked a “Camino” in 2012. I’d walked quite a bit of those roads for many years but in 2012 I deliberately walked a “Camino”.
I’ve been in the Beqaa when snipers would take a shot at the grape pickers of Chateau Musar. I walked in bits of the Balkans when it was perfectly reasonable to assume that anyone you met was considering you as a possible source of income (and they weren’t running Albergues). I schlepped the Pennine Way way before anyone thought of paving the sloppy bits.
I was a hard core hiker with an odd upbringing and a complex set of beliefs. And then I walked the Camino Frances with the deliberate and conscious desire to make pilgrimage and pay my respects to the bones of one who may have touched the Divine. My gran told me I should- “walk, that’s what we do”.
Buggered me up good and proper that did. I’ve no idea why but it’s led me to roads I never thought I’d walk. To friends I’d never have met. To a determination to understand Camino even if I never do. An addiction to this forum.
I come here everyday. Mainly, I think, because I hope that one day I’ll find an explanation of what the hell happened there. And because I love the spectacle of the innocent, the bewildered and the smug wrestling grades of sleeping bag, accommodation and Orujo while rigorously avoiding “why”
I also go back in April. CF for me. Maybe I will see you and all the others on this post who are returning next April.Yes, me too. I'm hoping to go back in April 2024, but haven't decided yet "where/which route/s" since I recently returned from the Camino de Madrid.
