    New annual record number of Compostelas issued

    I find this thread interesting.....amazing, the different experiences! I have walked the Frances twice.....the first time (2014) in two parts...injured my back crossing the Pyrenees and had to stop, came back two months later, picked up where I left off and finished....1 hour wait for...

    Camino Primitivo

    Johan, just finished....May 19....sorry I can't join you......love your country and my son-in-law..."Go Springboks".... he is teaching me! Primitivo is beautiful but damned hard ( at least for this old guy ) yet definitely worth it....much less interesting after Lugo and a bit of a downer when...

    Norte vs. Primitivo

    Time for me to update my earlier post. I mentioned that I never felt the crush of crowds that many others have noted? UPDATE...WOW! I need to change my position....I just finished the Camino Primitivo ( every bit as beautiful as they say and maybe even a bit more challenging than I expected ) ...

    Norte vs. Primitivo

    A short note for Camino Frances hopefuls. I am not a particularly sociable walker....I like my own company and I have walked the Camino Frances in May, in June and in September. I have never experienced "massive" crowds at any time...anywhere! Fellow walkers and natives were consistently...

    Pack weight question

    Eve, the fact of the matter is that everyone is a little nervous on their first Camino! Every single question that you have posed has been on the mind of every first time walker ( I think that about includes everyone ). I really think the biggest one on everyone s mind is "Can I do it?" or some...

    A pilgrim was attacked by a robber

    Wow, overall, an incredible number of posts to cover what "nycwalking" said very well, in short fashion!!!! Fear, unfortunately, drives way too much of the world economy.........

    Camino Primitivo map

    Thanks for info and advice. Site is excellent! I must admit, in all my walks, I have never used a GPS device ......too much to see and enjoy...... and I suspect that I probably will only use it here as Laurie suggests. I just received a Garmin GPSMAP 64s as a gift and I want to set it up #1. As...

    Camino Primitivo map

    Is there any GPS map available for the Camino Primitivo.....I actually don't know how to ask the question. Let me try this. While walking the English coast to coast walk last year, I met a Dutch couple that had a Handheld GPS device with the trail on it. They simply followed the trail stage by...

    LIVE from the Camino Primtivo: breathtaking

    Jan31 :2017. Absolutely great posts, Anemone. I have done CF twice,...June Sept. Neither one particularly crowded, luckily, I guess as I enjoy my solitude. Nonetheless, I am still looking forward to the solitary trot along Primitivo. Your total report will travel all the way with me...
