    Bivvy bag or not?

    Hello, I've used a bivvy bag on all my Camino's; it gives one peace of mind; there's always somewhere I can tuck myself away, and albergues become a luxury you can enjoy whenever you come accross one, that simply falls into place for you. Remember; show respect, and leave no trace..........it's...

    Tent camping the whole Camino

    My Daughter and I camped on both of our Camino's, and loved the freedom it gave. We sometimes envied those carrying little, or no weight; but, we so enjoyed not being drawn into that rushing wave of people, persuing a bed for the night. It's good to do both, camping, and staying in the odd...

    Walking after knee surgery?

    Hello, I too, walked part of the Camino; from SJPD, to Sansol in 2014; and yes, it was a wonderfull expeirience, with a plan to return a couple of years later to do another third, or maybe even finish. In the mean time, an accident led to the development of arthritis of the knee, and lower...

    I am not a "Camino pilgrim"

    You have, with your few paragraphs, put into order, my mixed emotions, of why I find myself, needing to do 'special' things in Life; the Camino, my solitary hiking trips to the Hebrides, the list goes on. I feel like someone just switched on a light ! I'm sure I will learn, and maybe, change...

    Storing a car and excess gear

    I have twice left my Jeep in SJdP on a campsite; the owners look after vehicles whilst you are away....and cheap too. Then, its the bus back from wherever I get to> On my second visit, I bused to where I left off last time, so I picked up the Camino from where I last walked to; it worked well...

    Guide books - and the sour taste they leave

    Had I let it, the Brierley(is that spelt right ?) would of ruined my Camino. It is such a shame that so many books are creating 'stages'; there are so many places worth staying in between, that one can find not only welcoming, but peaceful. I did a few 'stages', it just wasn't for me, and I did...

    Camping, sort of

    Hello, I have happily camped on the Camino; and yes, some Albergues do allow camping on their grounds.....you simply pay the same as though you were using a bunk, that way, the facilities are yours to enjoy. Some of my more enjoyable Albergue visits have been camped ones......just mix with...
