    GR10 to Irun!

    Thanks. I'm wondering if Eddie has a trip report somewhere regarding his full route. His trip sounds perfect. -John

    GR10 to Irun!

    I'm wondering how this went. My wife and I are planning a Le Puy to Finisterre trip and might switch to the Norte instead of the Frances. The GR 10 looks like a promising connection especially with Dave's breakdown. Also, how many days did it take? We are planning on using the full 90 that we...

    Forgiveness on and off the Camino

    Self awareness is wonderful unless it becomes self detriment. It is great to learn about ones self but do not fight who you are for the sake of another. Pushy to one may be expected and accepted dependence for another. While it is important to always remain true there are things we need to...

    Annual Camino Cleanup Coming Up!

    I added a somewhat related post in another topic --> http://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/the-camino-is-not-for-everyone.16031/page-2#post-175104 Sometimes it may not be possible to completely change behavior but that shouldn't prevent anyone from finding an actual solution. The...

    Eight reasons why Pamplona is a great starting point for the CF

    Great question! I personally think the original post, including the title, was a direct reflection of how PANO feels and was spot on. It was also quite clear that this was his opinion, which is always the case in any form of communication. Whether I agree or disagree, well, that's what was...

    The Camino Is Not For Everyone

    Maybe a separate poll topic would be better but an adopt-the-Camino program could be lots of fun. As a U.S. citizen the cost to engage in such an endeavor could prove to be prohibitive. I'm not sure of your overall idea but maybe donations to fund underprivileged teens to experience the Camino...

    The Camino Is Not For Everyone

    I agree except for "...it's human nature to be intolerant..." I would change it to "... It's human conditioning to be intolerant..." I think we are extremely tolerant and patient if we drop all preconceived notions or expectations. Acceptance is the key, of one's self and of all others. The mere...

    How many pilgrims walk the whole way, with their packs, and does it really matter?

    We are planning on walking with our backpacks the entire way from Le Puy to Finisterre. That's a big part of what we want to do so it's important to us. How it ends up is still to be told. Ours will be a pilgrimage of people rather than a pilgrimage of faith so the time on the trail may win over...

    Hoping for "The Way" experience

    I learned about the Camino by accidentally watching "The Way", it came up as a Netflix suggestion. I have since watched it several times and my wife (Mandi) and I are planning a Le Puy to Finisterre (possibly Muxia) trip sometime next year. I'm the extrovert and she's the introvert but I read a...
