    Anamiri reacted to Sha-Ron's post in the thread Did it make a difference with Like Like.
    Yes it made a difference. It brought us as a family closer together. (4 of us walked together) I pushed myself further than I had ever been before. It made me stronger and enriched my life. It gave me an admiration for the Spanish people and...

    Anamiri reacted to david g's post in the thread Did it make a difference with Like Like.
    Absolutely yes. That’s not just my feeling but after my first Camino in 2012 my sister remarked on the difference in me, something profound enough that she embarked on her own Camino. Every time I return to walk I discover (and rediscover) the...

    Anamiri reacted to JerryStroebele's post in the thread Bugs / Insects on Route Frances with Like Like.
    In a few areas in the fall flies liked to land on my south facing (sweaty) wrist. I couldn't swat them with my hand. I have read they can sense the air pressure change as your swatting hand approaches and depart in the nick of time. But I...

    I wrote a post about the apalling condition of the trail between Rabanal del Camino and Molinaseca. And I was lucky that it wasn’t even actively raining. It is not made clear to inexperienced pilgrims that you can simply walk along the highway...

    Well, maybe not. My plans are to leave for France on May 4th, stay overnight in Paris, train to St. jean, and begin the Camino! and Thursday I came down with covid. and yes, it did indeed put me flat on my back. but? thanks to medical...

    Those crowds after Sarria tend to be large groups of walkers on organized trips who are not staying in the simpler pilgrim accommodations. If you book in hotels/hostels, then you’ll be competing with them. If you stick with the simpler dorm and...

    Anamiri replied to the thread Packing - edition one.
    Hi Sarah, whats the weight of your sleeping bag? I have a spare Kathmandu lightweight sleeping bag and a spare silk liner that I could get down to you. I use a lightweight bag with a silk liner and am fine. Given I live in Northland and you in...

    I'm not sure why I felt compelled to write something here though I feel as though others will relate to this. I will be leaving from Dublin via ferry to Cherbourg and walking over 1500km until I reach Santiago. This journey begins in a little...
