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...
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!
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?
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.

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...
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...
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.😗
