    For introvert crowd-averse pilgrims

    On my first Camino a few years ago I met a pilgrim in O Cebreiro, a woman around my age, who turned into a bit of a problem as she wanted to be with me all the time. I explained that I wanted to walk alone at my own pace during the day, which she respected but every evening she would turn up and...

    Pee Cloth - leave no trace

    After 4 Caminos and now aged 75 I still haven´t found a solution. My first Camino I could walk most of the day without needing to pee, that is no longer the case. I always carry TP anyway as you often come across toilets without any, and a re-usable ziplock bag to put it in. A cloth sounds like...

    Sad to report another wierdo on The Way.

    Unfortunately taking a picture may put you in danger. The perpetrator may be so concerned about being identified that he could become violent, so this is not recommended.

    Pre-Camino walking regimes - are they worth it? Do they work? Are they needed?

    For my first Camino I did a six-week preparation with exercises and walking with a weighted pack, for my second Camino I did no preparation at all. The difference I felt between the two only lasted for the first week.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD "Permanently Closed"

    Change is part of life. From a "glass half full" point of view think of all the wonderful and interesting new things there will be on the Camino in the future.

    Monte de Gozo - statue commemorating visit of pope has been removed

    I must admit I found the monument very strange-looking and could not understand its symbolism. I would have loved to have seen the pilgrim statues but never knew they were there. Maybe next time, hopefully.

    What a week!

    Thank you Rachael, I managed to join them briefly on a video call. Just as well I didn´t try to go, it now looks like I have the dreaded virus, although only mildly thank goodness (I´m 74!)

    What a week!

    A day to remember in more ways than one. Glad it turned out well. My youngest son is getting married today in a quiet civil ceremony followed by a meal. We are in lockdown so I will be unable to go. Difficult days.

    Mens or Unisex Sarong for walking in August

    Sept 2021 - Trails of the unexpected ! Camping
