    English AA meeting is Santiago

    Maybe explain a little more about the purpose of the meetings for those who don't know what AA stands for.

    Which route to take after Figeac?

    Hello MnM, alas I am not here to offer some gems or pointers; Just that I am pondering the very same thing! I think it is a tough choice as possibly all routes have highlights and wonders....

    August Start

    Yes, I agree with Trecile. Manageable. Of course there will be days that are hotter than others. You are walking in Summer! I personally love the heat. Make an early start and finish around noon. There are plenty of places for water along the Way. Pace yourself and enjoy a lighter pack. Buen...

    App recommendation for the Cele Valley?

    OK, thank you. B-rocker. Which route do you prefer and what are the positives of GR65? (continuing on from Figeac to Cahor).

    App recommendation for the Cele Valley?

    Will the GR65, from Figeac to Cahor, be as busy as Cele route at this time? I have not walked either ways and am open to the exploration! Like many, I am would love to experience the beauty and splendour of the valley. You have all given such stella reviews... But, given the busy-ness of French...

    New lightweight backpack from REI

    50 litres sounds big. But if not jammed with "stuff", I assume it is not bulky at all given its lightness.

    App recommendation for the Cele Valley?

    Is it necessary to book ahead on the Cele Variant in July/August? I am not necessarily wanting the demi pension, but perhaps there are limited options in this regard? Thank you.

    UK - The Old Way - Southampton to Canterbury

    All the posts have been fantastic, thank you. When I look at the map, I can get mislead in relation to distances etc (for example, Luton airport to Canterbury). The welcome reception given to pilgrims walking into Canterbury is so moving. How truly wonderful. I do hope this route gets the...

    I am traveling end of July.. No worries, I truly love the heat! (and a lighter pack)

    UK - The Old Way - Southampton to Canterbury

    Thank you for your posts. Oh dear, if accommodation is that pricey, it does not really seem feasible to walk for a week which was in my thinking (perhaps from Battle or Rye--as per the suggestions). I am visiting a friend in Glastonbury and I would be traveling from there. I could walk up to...

    UK - The Old Way - Southampton to Canterbury

    Are you able to recommend a starting point (that is easily accessible by public transport) on this trail? I would love to walk three or four days (if there is pilgrim style accommodation) that would bring me to Canterbury. So it would be the very last sections. I would then fly from Luton...

    LIVE from the Camino Aussies Wandering

    Great to see that each passing day brings a lower percentage of road walking! So much easier on the knees and feet (and all joints, really).

    Social anxiety

    Thank you for all the thoughtful posts and affirming us quiet ones out there. I am solitary by nature--on the Camino and "real" life. What I value about walking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela is that it invites introspection; the walking itself is meditative and the array of churches...
