      Marc S. reacted to davejsy's post in the thread Alert Theft at Roncesvalles with Like Like.
      I'm not sure any of the posts suggest anyone would have little concern for losing valuables. It's more a discussion of how far you would go to protect them versus the actual risk and how that might colour your Camino.

      Marc S. replied to the thread Bjørn Krohn.
      Maybe some forum members (now on the camino) have met him, which may be helpfull for his wife and family, which is why I copy this message (from a facebook group) here. RIP. Last week on Monday 15 April, Bjørn Krohn, a Danish priest checked into...

      Marc S. reacted to SabsP's post in the thread Pilgrimage or vacation? with Like Like.

      Marc S. reacted to VNwalking's post in the thread want solitude with Like Like.

      Marc S. reacted to Gringazolana's post in the thread The Camino for LGBTQ with Like Like.
      Dear Xosé, I am not a member of the LGBTQ community, but I am a queer ally. I met a lot of people walking the Camino last year, but one couple that made an impression on me was a pareja of two women. They walked holding hands and singing. Their...

      Marc S. reacted to Bradypus's post in the thread Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT with Like Like.
      2kg heavier than what? Who set that target figure for you? The only real question is "Do I need this?" If something really is essential then you must take it with you. If not then you can leave it behind. Up to you to decide what is essential.

      I just started today volunteering at Betania, a wonderful small Donativo at the far end of Pamplona old town. It just opened last summer; all bunk beds (no mats!), usually 14 beds but in a pinch can expand to 18, and with plans to expand in the...
