    Anybody recognize this symbol?

    I can see that on this forum, it really is about the quality of the post...

    Anybody recognize this symbol?

    The explanation that sticks in my mind (I have no idea where I heard it, and no reference for it - possibly Brierly’s Camino Finisterra guidebook) is that the circle represents Santiago de Compostela and that the lines indicate that “all paths lead to SdC”. The arrow fletchings, of course...

    What makes you walk

    Aha! That’s exactly what my Camino was - low budget and, well....what is “civilized” anyway? It was grand to be away from what passes as “civil” at home, and to enjoy the simple civility of the Chemin. I loved it! Perhaps you will stand in some of the same places as the Roland of legend, or...

    What’s on your playlist?

    What’s on your playlist?

    :-) I occasionally pulled some tunes out on my phone - typically ones that connected me with thoughts of my daughters, when I was missing them or (virtually) walking with them. More often, and when I found myself alone in the grand cathedral of nature’s open space, I’d let myself sing out...

    Forget the Euros. Take bitcoin. And as far as distance goes, please walk in leagues or furlongs in order to make it feel shorter or longer. Your choice. Pack weight is measured in stone. A three stone pack is sensible. It sounds light.

    Is it hot in here to you? A thread for Sharing Tips for Hot Blooded persons!

    Well....I was most comfortable in shorts, even from my start in mid-April. Those detachable pant legs stayed in the bottom of my back pretty much the whole way. Maybe just an effect of my more Northern being. What sorts of hot-blooded thoughts and questions have been percolating for you? I'm...

    A Hard Question?

    Hmmmmm. I certainly found myself challenged by my own “unperegrino-like” thoughts of others as I woke up, worn, stinky, disheveled and tired, in Sarria to find so many shiny and sparkly walkers joining the path. Good lesson, though. That challenge helped me to understand the singularity of my...

    Opinions back home

    Hi Marrymeflyfree. Welcome to the forum,...in many senses your Camino has already started. Now all that you need to do is get your boots on and start walking. Loads of folks have already expressed their experiences and knowledge of the safety of the Camino. If you’d like to share a view of the...
