    LIVE from the Camino On the Levante for summer

    so sorry Grace - sounds like a good call though. I wrote this little reflection when I had to go home with injury last year: https://pilgrimpace.wordpress.com/2016/12/01/walking-the-cistercian-way-on-becoming-a-more-broken-pilgrim-part-2/ as I look back - that was the most significant part of...

    moromauro en el Levante: just some hints

    with the homeless shelters - I had a conversation with the police about them when I walked in 2009. Both they and I were of the opinion that staying in them might take a bed from someone who needed it more than me. Plenty of hostals in these pueblos - or sleeping under the stars

    LIVE from the Camino Walking In The Footsteps Of Pilgr (and Others!)

    Does the albergue in Algemesi still contain a school in part of it? I almost had an embarrassing situation when I set off for the shower wrapped in a towel

    LIVE from the Camino Pilgr on the Levante

    I walked it starting at the beginning of September 2009. It wasn't as hot as that - usually mid to high 30's. It is important to carry a lot of water. And use the Guide to predict where it is possible to get water on the stages. Drink as much as you can before you start walking in the...

    LIVE from the Camino Pilgr on the Levante

    Good to catch up with all this - and Buen Camino to those walking. I walked in 2009 and met no pilgrims until Zamora. A great Camino. Could I respectfully suggest people buy and carry the Guide? As well as supporting the Amigos, it has lots of useful information on accomodation. Andy

    Dangers of Walking Poles

    Yes. Unfortunately the steepness of the path meant I couldn't strim and mow the vegetation that made it impossible to see where I was putting my feet / poles before I started my descent. A number of people who walk 'professionally' like Chris Townsend and Sectionhiker either cut the straps...

    Dangers of Walking Poles

    I got a pole stuck in a hole once when going down a very steep hill. very painful shoulder as a result - the strap was round my wrist and I couldn't let go. Have always removed the straps from my poles since

    My Stages on the Levante

    It was September, and I couldn't go beyond the town limits before first light if I wanted to find the way, so I must have been starting as the bars opened. I think there were people harvesting on quite a few sections, I guess the bars opened for them too But coffee stops would have been very...
