    Live Updates - Via Regia/Ecumenical Pilgrims Way (Germany)

    I’m taking the train to Görlitz tomorrow ahead of a start on Monday 8th July. Unfortunately, I am experiencing a strong sense of grievance with a forum moderator who has deleted several posts of mine on another thread + has not had the decency to explain why, either publicly or privately. As...

    How are you dealing with the heat wave?

    I’ve still not had a response from the moderator of this thread who has deleted some of my posts without explanation, either publicly or via PM. I have to confess I’m struggling to continue with membership of this forum in the face of this unforum-like behaviour. Do the right thing, please!

    How are you dealing with the heat wave?

    Several of my posts appear to have been removed from this thread. I have not been informed why this action has been taken. Who is the moderator responsible for this thread?

    How are you dealing with the heat wave?

    I read a variation of this advice on a news website today. It advised people to put their pillowcase and/or pyjamas in the freezer for a short while before retiring to bed. A prize is offered to anyone on the route who achieves this before the end of the week.

    Walking thru Thunderstorms

    This is exactly what I need to know, even if I don’t like al that I’m reading. No worries on the bra-front personally, but I’m sure to do myself a serious mischief if I practice sitting on my rucksack with my feet off the ground!! I now feel suitably informed, so thanks very much!

    Walking thru Thunderstorms

    Thanks Tincatinker, very droll !! I’ll have to look back at my original post to double-check I included the word “reassurance” in it!

    Walking thru Thunderstorms

    I admit to being a bit nervous walking when there is the prospect of thunderstorms during the day ahead. I’m well aware of the general advice to avoid standing under trees and not to have metal walking poles sticking out from your backpack, but there may be other good advice to follow. I feel at...

    The mysterious world of memorial cards: is it because of The Way?

    This may well be a deviation from the OP’s question, but I took memorial cards of my late father- himself a James- on my first camino. The only one I actually recall leaving somewhere was on the altar in the chapel at Leon Cathedral. It was his birthday anniversary + I thought it quite fitting...

    Pilgrims And Tourists to PAY, Except to Pray, to visit the Cathedral in Lugo

    I walked the VF in 2014 and wasn’t aware of the ‘starting stone, so missed it. I returned to Canterbury a couple of years later and resolved to be photographed by the aforementioned marker. To my horror, the stone had been removed just a few days earlier as it had been damaged, so all I could...

    Live Updates - Via Regia/Ecumenical Pilgrims Way (Germany)

    I wondered where it was. I used the website to link to https://www.oekumenischer-pilgerweg.de/galerie/category/2-10-jahre-rückblick.html to order the pilgrim accommodation guide ahead of time, but there was no request for payment after placing my order. There was mention of an invoice, so do you...

    Pilgrim passport, number of stamps

    Well said. May I just check that the Pilgrim Office should not really be interested in the number and frequency of sellos before the 100/200km mark unless a distance certificate is requested. Albergues, yes: Pilgrim Office, no? Warm Regards, A (possibly mistaken) Pedant.😗
