    Disaster strikes

    I had been dealing with a bereavement last year and after things settled I was walking to work wondering what next, found my camino the podcast and pretty much listened to every episode... Weird but I feel I am being drawn there, so 30 odd days cycling the walking stages will give me so much...

    Yeah, biking seems okay and pain free which gives me a little hope that this injury will pass.... I'm sure I'm not the first that's had their hopes dashed before setting out on the way of St James eh, full on bummer when it happens to you though

    Disaster strikes

    Yes it's a very good idea, take time and explore, I like the sound of it but desperately wanted to walk, going put maximum effort into recovery for the next 3 weeks hoping its some spain that will resolve, see what happens, I'll keep you posted thanks again

    Crutches could be the best idea

    Thanks for your kindness, I have to make a decision in 2 weeks, I am to see a specialist on Monday, likely x-ray on the day and Mri shortly after, hopefully have some answers before I set out.. But yeah was thinking just take it slow, enjoy and explore on the bike

    Yeah I have thought of hobbling around on crutches, not the greatest idea hut not impossible 🤔

    Ye I know, I guess.. But likely just do it anyway, take my time, smell the roses you might say, still disappointed though

    Disaster strikes

    Hey all, bit devastated at the moment, I've been planning my trip for 1 year due to leave on April 2nd anyho I've gone and injured my knee so much that I cannot walk up or down a hill without terrible pain. I'm a cyclist by trade so if I can, I'll cycle my walking route instead, 30 odd days...

    Albergue help

    Ah okay thanks, I could not see the difference between albergues and regular type hostels, so if its an albergue is generally for pilgrims? Some more strict than others I guess, thanks for your help and your opinion was valuable to me:)
