      Vacajoe replied to the thread want solitude.
      You can have solitude on the CF. Be the last to leave an albergue (usually around 8am) and you’ll likely have the trail completely to yourself. Spend more time in churches than in bars, pack your lunch so you can picnic solo, and choose private...

      I am currently working as a Hospitalaro in a newly reopened Donativo Albergue in Vergen del Camino, just a short distance from Leon. It was closed for 5 years due to, initially the pandemic. It is sparkly clean and looking for wayward Pilgrims

      Vacajoe reacted to CatPhillips's post in the thread Stages from Oloron-Sainte-Marie with Like Like.
      I have met other pilgrims, yes. Almost every albergue has had one or two others, but they seem to walk faster than me and I don’t see them again. The last few days, though, I have been keeping pace with a sweet French family. They were in the...

      Vacajoe replied to the thread Volunteering as a Hospitalero/a.

      Never say never! Walking from the Liola Sanctuary back onto the Norte, someone had installed a barbed wire fence directly across the marked GR path. Very obvious where the path was, but because so few actually walk that route, someone must have...

      Vacajoe reacted to Luka's post in the thread Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT with Like Like.
      I can echo the others here. No rules, as long as you are comfortable with your pack it's fine. But if I were you, I would leave some clothes home. If I count well (all together, including what you are wearing): - 2 towels - 4 T-shirts - 1...

      Vacajoe replied to the thread Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT.
      There is no “supposed to weigh” weight! Somebody banish that 10% rule!!!!!! The ideal weight is simply what’s right for your ability, but lighter is always easier. The way you list out your items is incredibly confusing and is likely the root...
