- Time of past OR future Camino

Just to let you know that the Confraternity of St James (CSJ) has scheduled two Practical Pilgrim events for March this year in England (there'll no doubt be a Scotland one scheduled in due course..). The events are in
London on Saturday 17 March and
Manchester on the 24th.
There's a £5 charge to cover the cost of hall hire and basic refreshments and you can book via the www.csj.org.uk website.
The events are mainly aimed at first timers, but there's usually a generous sprinkling of old salts who swing by for some camino nostalgia and to offer the occasional anecdote... What's nice about the events is that they provide a chance for newbies to meet other newbies in a similar situation as well as discuss any questions and nagging doubts with the older timers.
We gather in the hall (usually about 100 people) and have introductions about the camino and packing lists etc followed by an open Q&A and then smaller group discussions split into the particular routes. There's also a chance to thumb through guides and acquire a pilgrim passport.
Cheers, tom
