    Finally...I'll go

    Emails? Thanks for trying, Kiminutrecht. I did check out their website, but have been too busy to be able to go to Utrecht. Maybe we'll meet each other on the Camino. I don't have to be back at a certain time so I'll take each day as it comes while enjoying myself. BTW - Are there...

    Finally...I'll go

    GREAT advice It is pure synchronicity to get your message one day before I am supposed to get on the bus (from Amsterdam) to the Camino. And so true! My little planning got just wiped off my plate and I am going with an open mental slate. Hope I can get that book you recommend in...

    You sound a bit like myself, Renata. Wait until the last moment and then...happy go lucky. The backmuscles are indeed a problem when they aren't conditioned. I found that out and am still working with it. Welcome and have fun!

    Sleeping outdoors on the Camino del Norte...?

    Montana Greetings Hi Linda, I'll be going around that time myself, depending on what the weather is going to do. Thanks for sharing. I was impressed with your list of preparations, I better get my own ass in gear. So far I can only ask in spanish where the bathroom is located and that may...

    Sleeping outdoors on the Camino del Norte...?

    Thanks for the pointers, Brother David. Where does one enter the territory for meeting pilgrim route people? Is this closer to the Spanish border? I can imagine that I'd still look like a lost tourist if I started out at Vézélay or Paris? Is Le Homme Sauvage a book or article or just a...

    Sleeping outdoors on the Camino del Norte...?

    Sleeping outdoors Thanks for the suggestions, Omar and Brother David. A list of campgrounds may be superfluous because I usually just put my sleeping bag on the ground. If it is too wet, I buffer it up with a poncho or other waterproof materials. To me it feels great to get the energy from...

    Sleeping outdoors on the Camino del Norte...?

    Sleeping outside Hi Bernd, I found it interesting what you said about sleeping outside. I've done this a lot in the Americas because I like to absorb the Earth's energy. It may be an entirely different situation here. In October I made a trip to Faux de Verzy, a forest south from Reims...

    Finally...I'll go

    Years ago I got intrigued by walking the Camino to Santiago. Instead I went to the States and walked through several states. Over the years I found out how incredibly soothing and insightful walking can be, putting one step in front of the other, so simple and yet so powerful. I just moved...
