    Is there a Place in the Modern World for "Pilgrimages"?

    Yes, there is a place. It has become timeless since its inception. It has a place in every time period that academics will try to describe the world by. Its start is in the heart of faith and worship of the Allmighty for the Christian believer. It removes the seriously urbanised from the...

    What do you do when you cannot walk anymore?

    Good question! Time and circumstance is most probably two factors that will be prominant in such a decision. The flip side is the common life philosophy of where there is a will there is a way or as many responded where there's a will there is a camino. Being a pilgrim is in my life my most...

    Disrespected my feet

    Indeed. It is your Camino. It is also your choice to excert yourself. Pacing oneself remains a factor for all of us. It most probably becomes more important when the will and the body are out of kilter. Rethink your last few days and adjust wisely. Enjoy the rest of your journey. Buen Camino.

    Some things a little over the top.

    T There is a time and place for everything under the sun. If your or mine doesn't coincide with that of the stringer then its best to move along. I encountered a group of young people playing their ghettoblaster at max last year near Sarria and decided to slow down, which is always easy for me...

    Can we talk TOWELS please?

    If the towel is light and the price is right then one might grab a few for an Australian winter's night. Enjoy your walk. ➡️

    a 'training walk' on Good Friday

    Being ff Good for you on an even better than Good Friday. Christ is Risen. Your kms done shows you're already in good shape. You need to decide what your walking strategy will be when on the Camino where you need many days of reasonable walking. Do you take off because you are fit and full of...

    A Catholic on the Camino

    Indeed. I'm again a protestant and am sad to hear of our fellow pilgrim's experience. Today is Resurrection Sunday for all of us who follow the Christ. My hope and prayer is that the Camino remains a meeting place for all who have a desire to walk it. A pilgrimage is a great leveller. We all...

    Non-Catholic on the Camino

    If it is your perception then it is your truth. Forgive those who made you feel unwelcome and remind yourself of who you are in the Christ. Take a deep breath, rest, refocus and walk the path set before you.
