LIVE from the Camino LIVE from Via Francigena, June 2022
Anna&Michael, What a lovely blog! I will be following your adventure eagerly on a route I would like to walk soon. I'm curious about where you stayed your first night out of Canterbury? The VF website puts an overnight stop at Shepherdswell but I don't see any sign of actual accommodation there...- hal_cpt

Hi! Yes indeed - unfortunately the print costs are very high for the paper versions but the PDF and ebook versions are affordable: http://www.blurb.com/b/9319170-pilgrim- hal_cpt

GoFundMe?
It's very speculative / tentative for now -- we're still looking about 3 years ahead. But since I write and photograph, something along the lines of a book of reflections or a calendar - some way to share the experience with people who made it possible. Video would possibly also be involved...- hal_cpt

GoFundMe?
Gosh, this topic has inspired some heated discussion. I'm reading with interest because I'm planning a full VF for a couple of years' time, when I finish my PhD. This will probably be the only time before retirement when I can take that amount of time off -- and it comes at the end of a period...- hal_cpt

Why is there an a'postrophe?
Randomly, my sister-in-law has one of those surnames that is apostrophised when it's from Ireland and not when it's from Scotland. She is Scots. People always get it wrong.- hal_cpt

Pilgrim: A Scientist Walks To Santiago 2019-03-05
Feeling trapped and frustrated in work and life, the author set out to walk the Camino de Santiago - the ancient Christian pilgrimage to the shrine of St James in Spain. On the way, he explored what it means to be a person of faith, a scientist and to live a compassionate life. In this book of...- hal_cpt

Could you be a Hospitable Hermit?
I would absolutely love to do this for a spell. I live in the Schengen area so that is not a problem. Possibly during my vacation next year or else while I write (part of) my PhD thesis the following year. In the former case I could manage a 3 or 4 week spell -- in the latter, things could be...- hal_cpt

Gudbrandsdalen July-Aug 2019
How exciting -- I also live in The Netherlands and am planning to walk the same path at around the same time this summer - maybe we will bump into each other. (Also, it's a wonderful planning exercise - at least fantasising about escaping these grey and rainy days). Please keep us informed...- hal_cpt

Traveling with family and friends
Good luck Sandi. For what it's worth I'm in more or less exactly the same situation. I walked my first Camino alone in 2013, and learned a lot about myself on the way (including, apparently, that I can be much more social among strangers than I had realised!) Next month I will be walking the...- hal_cpt

Snoring in albergue!
I snore. And my worst ever night on the Camino was when I was sharing a room with a German dude who felt that the appropriate response was to shout furiously whenever it bothered him. I eventually left, exhausted and miserable, at about 6am, and spent much of the rest of the trip paranoid and...- hal_cpt

What is your most beautiful / favourite church on the CF?
Both of my favourites have been mentioned, but they are -- for completely different but quite obvious reasons -- the cathedral in Leon, and the little old church in Rabanal, where I made confession before the final stretch. I was certainly very impressed by the cathedral in Burgos, but found it...- hal_cpt

Camino in September 2013
Hi all, I will be walking in September and early October, and will hopefully bump into some of you :) I have flights booked to Spain, arriving on 1 Sept, but personal circumstances may delay my start for a few days, and depending how that pans out I might start in Pamplona or Burgos. Hope you...- hal_cpt

Fantastic! I'll turn 40 on the way (if all goes well of course) - hopefully when we Early-September-starters are getting quite close to SdC :-)- hal_cpt

Hi Chuck, I am planning to start on September 2, so could well bump into you on the way. Pilgrim documentation arrived from the Confraternity this week - so it seems like I've started in a way :)- hal_cpt
