    Blue Mountains Camino supporters Walk

    Hi Kanga, hope you enjoy the walk, it’s a beautiful part of the world. Walking from Penrith to Blackheath I imagine you’ll be walking uphill most of the way. As my fitness is terrible too, I was wondering is the opposite direction Blackheath to Penrith just as popular?

    Rioja Alta Golf Club, Ciruena

    Love this place despite the depressing surroundings. Enjoyed the coffee, tapas and cool relief from extreme heat on my first Camino. The thought of stopping there again got my tired body up the hill just before the club on my second Camino.

    Warning on the start of the Camino Portuguese.

    Gosh this is disappointing for me to hear as an older female solo walker. These incidents generally do not trouble me, however, between stalkers & dangerous traffic I’m taking a little more notice. I’ve walked the CF twice so thought I might try CP this year. These stories are leaving me a tad...

    Portuguese or Frances?

    Thanks LynnneR for your question and,all, for your replies. I’m in the exact same position, walked CF in 2016 and 2018. I plan to walk again in 2019 and as much as I love CF feel I have to try CP.

    Bus from Santiago to Madrid - need I worry?

    This too is likely a tad late, however, it maybe worth mentioning. I completed my Camino on 24th June and did not book my flight out of SDC as I didn't want to have a deadline. Long story short it was very busy time, flights were extremely expensive or booked out. My daughter surprised me...

    22nd May Flight FR372 from UK is cancelled

    Thanks Mike Im happy for you but a tad disappointed I couldn't re-book another flight. The wifi here is playing up & I don't have a local SIM card just my Australian devices. I've not long received the email which appears a lot easier to rebook.Thanks for your good wishes and best of luck to you...

    22nd May Flight FR372 from UK is cancelled

    Oops looks like the whole message didn't go (probably used up all my data on hold to Ryanair) they sent a text to rebook but this was impossible & impossible to reach them. I didn't want to rebook until I spoke to them, to check if they could put me on a flight next week, as other options to...

    22nd May Flight FR372 from UK is cancelled

    Ryanair cancelled my flight (this afternoon) for Tues.22nd May from London to Biarritz. I was looking forward to commencing my Camino on 23rd May. They sent a text msg advising to re-book but it's impossible to book another flight online with them, they don't answer the phone (on hold forever)...

    Not a blog from Kanga

    Ahh Kanga what an appropriate time to read your post. I'm a lurker on the forum and found your posts, along with other caring people, very helpful when I walked in a very hot Aug/Sep 2016. The Camino was a wonderful experience which I enjoyed immensely, however, at the time I could not have...

    Class of 2018

    Hello All, I walked from SJPDP to SDC in an extraordinarily hot Aug/Sept 2016 celebrating my 65th birthday along the way. While I found the experience absolutely wonderful, probably exceeding my expectations, I couldn't see myself doing it again. Now here I am 19 months later reasonably (un)fit...

    Love the didgeridoo, love that version. Have not heard that song in many years - the daughter of a digger thanks you Peter.
