    Street Art- I'm about to have this beauty put on Canvas

    I found this thought provoking work very moving. Can't for the life of remember exactly where on the Camino Frances (about 2 weeks in) and can't find my diary just at the moment but no doubt lots of people will recall the location.

    Checked the “toe issues” threads... this one is not addressed (so far)

    I also now wear Keen sandals and Altra trailrunners as I too had lost a second toe nail a few years ago when wearing what I thought were very comfortable Merrels. I have also invested in several pairs of Injinji toe socks (really comfortable) worn with my Altras in 2019 for the CF from SJPdP to...

    Post your favorite flower photo(s) taken on Camino(part 2)

    I loved the beautiful beds of these roses along the riverside on the road into Logrono. Sadly I've not been able to find them available to buy anywhere.

    One of the most beautiful stages of the Camino Frances

    Thank you, lovely memories. I was there on the 17th August (49th wedding anniversary) last year and they were preparing St Maria church for a wedding later that afternoon so I lit a big fat red candle for my dear husband RIP

    European walking shoes?

    I find that wearing Altra (foot shaped) trail runners with Injinji toe socks makes for ultimate comfort with plenty of room for toes to spread. I'm 75 and walked from SJPDP to Finisterre last summer during the heatwave and had no foot problems at all. My friend who started off wearing worn in...

    We are GOING! And I decorated my pack . . .

    Good for you and Buen Camino! I glued my forum badge over the Gregory logo (same pack which btw I think is just perfect for the Camino) just as you've done but unfortunately it came adrift so need better adhesive this time (end of May). What did you use for the other great personalising...

    UK Ladies Share Your Shoes Info!

    I returned on 1st Sept after walking SJPdP to Finisterre wearing Altra trail runners with injinji socks (after reading about them on here). No foot problems whatsoever.

    Observations on the Meseta, September 2019

    I loved reading this and absolutely echo your thoughts on the Meseta. 6 weeks since my return from walking SJPdP to Fisterra and now looking back, the Meseta was the most special part of my Camino. I've walked as far as Hornillos before and also the last 100kms, so partly because this section...

    Fitness Level Help!

    T Two years ago we walked from SJPdP to Roncesvalles on our first day and the weather was glorious and we three 70 something year olds found it tough but exhilarating at the same time. Last year same time of year (August) however the weather was horrendous with horizontal wind and rain and Peter...
