    Camino Portugues starting in Porto

    Hi, I'm sorry, I can't remember. I might have pre-booked the day before or the same morning, but not further ahead than that definitely. It's not in the main town, so I didn't see the other albergue, no, unless I passed it the next day on the way out. I apologise for not being more helpful - it...

    Do choose exactly the way you want to go and do it and don't feel pressurised into doing it differently unless you want to. Here is my blog link in case it's helpful. Have a lovely time https://walkingwithoutadonkey.com/portugal/

    Pilgrimage in Norway?

    There's a book written about it by pilgrim Alain Bec - s good story and covering what to expect and history etc in French https://images.app.goo.gl/Q6tPicYDViuPk2p59 and a rather rough English version too. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08RJ8GFZH/?tag=casaivar-21

    Heat Stroke vs. Heat Exhaustion (please read even if you think you already know the difference)

    Plus, in my case note when it is just no fun any more. Stopping every 10 mins if you can find shade and waiting for the pulse to slow, noticing how you feel - completely fed up, desperate to stop, or simply not enjoying it anymore - these, too, are mental signs that you must get help to the end...

    EasyJet cancelled my flight 😞

    My only successful experience at getting anything back from Easyjet was to phone. Just phone direct, hang on and you might have a chance!

    EasyJet cancelled my flight 😞

    LIVE from the Camino The Camí Sant Jaume from Girona

    Thanks. After today, I am not sure I will be continuing. I had a truly HARD time - 9.5 hours and then I got a lift from someone blessed from just outside Contonegrós. Not only am I unlikely to continue tomorrow, but I fear my pilgrim days may be over. I cannot put myself through that again, or...

    Les Preses. Went to Vertisol for breakfast this morning (June 2022). They even offered a ready freshly made vegan bocarillo!

    This is a very kind gesture. I have to arrive in L'Esquirol as someone has offered me a sofa, so I will take a route there. I appreciate all your work more than I can say. Thank you all for helping me.

    Reporting back from the Cami St. Jaume from Llançà to Montserrat

    Thank you for your encouragement. It's the Sant Esteve to L'Esquirol I am tackling tomorrow and mentions of the Wikiloc trail not being there is my worry

    Oh I am so nervous about tomorrow after reading all your posts. I am really unfamiliar with GPS. Should I try?

    Day 3 Sant Esteve d'en Bas to Olot (8 kms) and back plus walking around Olot planning my wee pilgrimage for the International Walking Encounters Conference delegates = 25.75kms https://www.artdelcaminar.org/ A mostly lovely walk to Les Preses on the edge of Olot for breakfast though some was...

    Hi, thank you for taking the time to answer and share your experience. So far I have just, and I mean only just (!) managed to find accommodation where I have finished walking for the day, but you are right, if I cannot, I can always take a bus or train. Thank you very much.
