- Time of past OR future Camino
- First one in 2005 from Moissac, France.
Hi all, just to let any of you out on Camino know that I am here with my first aid kit. This time I have my citroen Berlingo that I have converted into the smallest camper, tiny but even has a toilet!
Arrived Roncesvalles today and have done some work, a few blisters, foot massage, hot spot covers, relaced footwear to open up the toes section, etc.
Taking a break now but going back in soon, and will hang around until the last come in, who won't be as cheerful and positive as those who arrived earlier, including an unfit (she said so herself) 78 year old non walking woman who has just walked over a mountain!
Met forum member Jeff fromAustralia, who recognised me from my avatar, hi Jeff! Also Philip who had forgotten his passport! So gave him my spare, a gift from JennyH in Sydney, well played Jenny!
Is very busy, had a chat in the pilgrim office in St Jean and they said it was the busiest September they had known.
Couple of nights ago Roncesvalles was full and they had to taxi shuttle some latecomers to further down Camino.
Last night four pilgrims were "rescued" by the bomberos, I asked were they hurt but the hospitelaro said no, they were having a great time but were high up and it was late. So were persuaded to accept the lift.
I will be cruising down the Way, and back, up and down, visiting refugios and occasionally walking upstream in the morning and then back again.
I have first aid kits and a car, and will regularly check my messages, so if you need help at all please do message me and i will try to help if I can.
Or if you just fancy a drink and we are near to each other, would be nice to meet more forum members.
Weather is hot and sunny.
Buen Camino all!!
