    Dazed, Amazed, Confused......& ‘HOME’

    Just walk,as long as there are no adverse weather conditions over the top is fine. I have done both with no prep. If Orisson have beds stop there if not they are incredibly well organised and will bus you back to beds and then back to Orisson in the morning. Trust God and your Camino. Pray...

    Training for Camino - my worries

    My experience was to use to Marino socks and insoles that absorb the impact. Listen to you body and stop when it is clear that you need to rest. It is not a race it is a pilgrimage- whatever that means to you. I walked the Camino solo this summer and never booked ahead therefore was able to stop...

    Z-Packs Question

    I own a zpacks arc blast. Highly recommend. The reason I bought one was I wanted to have light equipment. Whilst collecting my kit together everything was bought with that fact in mind, I walked the Camino Frances this year and found it a good choice. I did not book ahead, I walked until I...

    Scared of freezing to death on Camino in Fall!

    I lost 1 stone 6lbs as I walked the Camino all I needed was a belt and pulled in the notches. Take 2 emergency blankets one to lie on and one to put over you. The type they wrap marathon runners in. The other possibility is heated pads for the hands. Can be found in walking shops and on line...

    Feeling empty after finishing my Camino.

    Many congratulations on completing your Camino. I understand your feeling of anticlimax. However a very wise man on my first Camino once said to me it is not the walk that is your Camino but your journey within. For me this ring true and buoys me up when I reflect back. My first two Camino I got...

    Disgruntled Pilgrims

    This is an interesting view. However for me the magic of those moments when we speak our truth to one another on our pilgrimage - with respect and with love- have been some of the greatest gifts I have been given by fellow pilgrims. Expressing how we feel and owning it takes many of us to a...

    Orisson or Roncesvalles?

    Just to let you know I have decided Orisson for tomorrow they were fully booked but have organised a bed they will ferry back to and then I will be dropped off back at Orisson to continue. Very kind and I will be better equipped for the next day Buen Camino

    Last minute journey to Compostela?! Crazy or Worth it

    Seize the day Susie. You don’t need much light backpack and refer to pilgrims who have gone before you. The beauty of the Camino is that there is opportunity to take it gently. So train as you go. Take advice from the locals who will guide you. You will not be alone. No one lies on their death...
