Like.
On the train to Paris where I have to change train station for the last leg to Arlés. We are a bit delayed so I really hope I can make it. The train is noisy and I can’t make any phone calls today so I have emailed places in St Gilles and... -
roving_rufus replied to the thread Ideas on ways to extend the Coastal Camino portuguese.The bit of the camino into Porto wasn't "exciting", and I don't think I would add walking into Porto onto your camino plan.

Well it has taken me almost 9 years but I'm finally going to do it - will probably only make it up to Huesca this season but maybe further. I'm getting excited! Leaving in 13 days - counting down.

roving_rufus replied to the thread Heat waves...walking in August..I did the VF in August in France back in 2018- early starts, and finishing before 12noon was the aim. Even on the Voie des Capitales and Voie du Littoral in Western France in June 2023 during a heatwave- I often started in the dark before dawn to...

roving_rufus reacted to Purky's post in the thread Crazy things people do in the last 100 km with Like.
Not so crazy (I think...) and not on a Camino, but my son tried to hike 100 km in 24 hours about a month and a half ago. He's 23, a real gym- and fitness freak and always looking for weird scenarios to test his physical (and probably mental)...
