    Scottish Chapter?

    Allan. Having gone and done it a coupla years back - i was same age as you at that time - Scottish built and from the Mearns, i would suggest two thing. Don’t fret about it, just do it, AND take vaseline - absolute necessity for your “sheuch” 🫣

    Exactly a year ago - 2018 - did they complete.

    Exactly a year ago I went back to complete the Frances. As I only done StJ to Pamplona and Santiago to Finisterre on that visit, I have always wondered if the people I met en-route to Pamplona actually completed. Specifically the people who appear in the video memory.

    VIDEO Camino de Santiago: A Scot on the Camino - part 3 - April 2018

    The final sections to completion of my Camino de Santiago and beyond. The Camino's are an absolute wonderful life experience. As expressed on the video, the most difficult part is getting there. This episode was undertaken at the drop of a hat. Decided to go on the Saturday using a one-way...

    Crossing the Rio Erro after Roncesvalles

    Indeed Kirkie. The Camino is always calling. Already met some crazily nice people albeit Planes, Trains, and Automobiles getting to StJ. Worth it though.

    Crossing the Rio Erro after Roncesvalles

    Ha. You don’t know me too well. Lol. iPhone gripped tightly, would’ve saved the phone at all costs and that would have been worth capturing if I tripped. Just having fun on Camino. Garcia’s for message.

    Crossing the Rio Erro after Roncesvalles

    Today, crossing Rio Erro, about 12km before Zubiri. 26th April 2018. As much as you can get with your walking boots on. It should be obvious that is the water is any higher,or you are nervous in any way, the road bridge immediately to the left of the stones, is your default option. The worst I...

    Singing to Santiago - Scots on the Camino

    Mr Rover. Ach, you will be good in a few days. My hat off to you for venturing in the winter. It should warm your cockles to know that we have ‘normal’ weather here. Perhaps you should take a translator with you but all you need is ‘cerveca’ and ‘pulpo’ and laugh at your own jokes. What...

    Singing to Santiago - Scots on the Camino

    Philip. Great to see you are watching out on the forum. Looks like you guys are getting some snow. Brrr. You make sure you use up that winter allowance as you need to keep going to have another wee birthday party along the way next year. Some great memories, and you are absolutely...

    Singing to Santiago - Scots on the Camino

    Brilliant. That’s why I posted it, so we all get little bits of wonderful memories of that adventure. Funnily enough, I get a message on YouTube from Linda (Tucson) almost within minutes of your message. Great memories of a great night in Herrerias. I still regale that story of Rob coming...

    Singing to Santiago - Scots on the Camino

    Timr. Thank you very much. The big prob was always convincing people to do it. I have to come up with something for people to say as most people freeze. Lol. Also it was minimal editing and again the problem was what to leave out. Hope it made you titter and hope u get just a fraction...

    Singing to Santiago - Scots on the Camino

    Me demonstrating that the Camino can be loads of FUN. I know 14 mins is a tad long but it’s worth skipping to about half-way when the singing starts. Lots of really nice and interesting people that we met along the way make fleeting appearances. I’ve reposted as I think I accidentally deleted...

    Singing to Santiago

    Proof that you can have incredible FUN on the Camino. This video is the second of two. The first one was called “A Scot on the Camino”. If this is too long, just skip to half way through to when the singing starts. The last part of my first Camino. https://youtu.be/LKhgl1GgDCY

    More Scots on the Camino-Video

    The Scottish guy is back to complete his Camino from where his movie left off last month. This part2 “Wee Movie” is basically a personal memory but I promised to share it with the people I cajoled into giving me a clip. If this makes you smile, then it might just make someone take their own...

    Not enough Scots on the Camino

    Elaine : Delighted you enjoyed and took time to comment. I wondered if people would spot that. Lol. I said a prayer in Santiago Cathedral two days ago to repent. Part2 coming soon. Let me suggest to you - “She that is without sin among you, let her cast the first stone“. Lol. Thank you.
