    LIVE from the Camino (Nearly) Live Updates Via de la Plata February > Abril 2016

    You are indeed a gem SY, and so too Kiwi-family. You have saved me the bother of re-inventing a wheel - much gratitude for everything you've provided, it makes waiting until September an endurance of patience on an epic scale.

    We're off! Daily updates from the Camino VDLP, April 2016

    Sorry to hear you are postponing your walk for the moment - I have enjoyed reading following your footsteps so far - perhaps we will coincide as I begin in early September...who knows what a camino has in store for any of us?

    Leaving Seville 14 September 2016

    From the mild autumnal beauty of the Downs at the top of the range I'll be stepping out from Seville on September 5, but if an osteoarthritic knee slows me down and your pace is brisker then perhaps our paths will coalesce at some point along the way!

    We're off! Daily updates from the Camino VDLP, April 2016

    Thanks for your reports which make for another insight into this camino. I'm hoping the pedestrian traffic and bed-bagging has diminished when I start September 5 - I've built up an expectation of quietness so I hope my longing for un-hurried solitude is not a flight of fancy! Keep walking in...

    Congratulations SY on your safe arrival - it has been a delight to follow your progress with current updates which will be invaluable for the near future. Looking forward to the 'final' instalments (enjoy the rehydrating fluids) and counting down til departure time. Kind regards, DLL

    SY, you are making me wish the months away... September cannot arrive quickly enough, and as so many have noted, your notes will be in-valuable to me when my time comes to step out. (And many thanks for your reply to my guide query, greatly appreciated!)

    Continued thanks for your detailed notes! I am just wondering (and perhaps I' ve missed it previously...), but which particular guide book are you using?

    Grateful thanks SYates for your 'current' info, it is read with gratitude and mounting excitement as I prepare for a September start - my phone notes expand with every day you step closer to Santiago.

    Aussie clothing for first timers

    Perhaps we could organize a 'training' wander around Toowoomba, where the humidity is not quite so abysmal...!

    Aussie clothing for first timers

    Hi Fellow Qlder, So much great advice here you are now spoilt for choice! Most of my 'Camino' specific gear seems to have come from Kathmandu (I have no vested interests in the company) simply because that's all I have locally to source and prefer not to buy clothing online. If you keep it...

    when to walk the VdlP?

    I am starting the VdlP at the beginning of September - I rejoice in the autumnal shades and changing light. There appear to be many comments about spring but has anyone walked it at the end of summer? I still expect to encounter heat in the south, though that's nothing out of the ordinary for an...

    LIVE from the Camino My Vdlp from June 2015

    Thanks Donna for the delightful recount of your camino. I'm walking the VdlP in autumn 2016 so your descriptions have brought back special memories and the excited anticipation of another adventure. Be assured my guide will be peppered with annotations of your hints!!

    Casa da Fernanda- Lugar de Corgo

    Casa Fernanda is a heaven on the CP. I had stopped short three Kms with sore knees when a car pulled up at the crossroad, out got some Canadians being driven by the household head who had been disabled with tendonitis, and promptly put my backpack in the car to deliver me to the door as "it's on...
