    Publicly humiliated for snoring

    You would imagine that a pilgrim snores on purpose. If snoring annoys any pilgrim I would suggest that are not suited to be a pilgrim and they should be the ones staying in a hotel. A Pilgrim is one who is on a religious or spiritual journey and enduring hardships along the way would not be...

    Hungarian Walk of Friendship & European Peace Walk (EPW)

    I’ve walked the EPW 6 times and the HWF once. I’m a slower walker and I love these walks for the reasons that others complain about .To me it’s a challenge (I’m 79) and I love the different cultures and the people I meet, both locals and hosts. You get back more than you give In my opinion. I’ve...

    Any advice

    One more thing. On my first Camino from Le Puy to Santiago, in 2010 , 3 weeks into my journey I suffered a hernieated disk and had to be repatriated home for an operation on my back. I returned to where I stopped within 12 months and finished my 1000 mile Camino. I was 70 years old when I...

    Any advice

    Yes. The Spanish Post Office have a service for transporting rucksacks. It works out at just over 4 Euro a day. It is very reliable. The hospilario in your Albergue will help you set it up. Keep the sports up. Donal

    Over 65

    Yes I made that decision in 2010 at the age of 70 to walk from Le Puy to Santiago a distance of 1000 miles. I carried a backpack that was too heavy at 12kg plus food and water. Near Lectoure I slipped a disk and was looked after by Veronique in her Gite until I was able to be repatriated home ...

    Casa de los Dioses to close down

    When I met David in 2011 I truely thought that I had met an angel. I was so overcome by his hug as I left him that I was unable to speak. Years after I still thought of him and wondered if he really existed. It's only through posts like this have I learned that indeed David existed, not only in...

    Are pilgrims sheep to be fleeced?

    In 2015 I walked the Portuguese Camino ( also in 2013 and 2024) and I also saw litter on the way, a lot of it apparently from PilgrimBut I also saw local people doing Trojan work up the trail making it better for us to walk on.

    Thin Places

    I have walked from Le Puy to Santiago. On a number of occasions, as I walked alone, hearing another pilgrim coming up behind me, I stepped back to let him or her pass, to find that there was no one there. I was still alone, or was I?
