    Do you have tips for meeting people on the Camino?

    HI Line - Just be yourself and it just happens as long as you are genuine and open. A simple hello or greeting. Big advice is dont take it for granted you will meet again. I met some lovely people and also met a lovely Danish woman on route many times and assumed we would again. Alas in the...

    A Big Boo to Stone Stacking

    Dear Sir - Sorry if my comment made you sad. I did not snipe. I said and am concerned. I also asked for balance and to look after the land and for education. There are many worthy environmental issues which I believe in. Sadly they are not being addressed fully. If we look to a balance life...

    A Big Boo to Stone Stacking

    In a world of so many big problems I am concerned that energy is given to this. As with life the answer is balance. Cairns are a part of history and serve some purpose. Educate all to respect them and the land. Do not remove them but teach yourself and children to understand the effect our...

    Ancestry DNA Explains it all !

    I love the Camino and respect all those who encounter the way. This is a great forum, but it also reflects society. When someone tells a story or shares a view there is always someone who wants to belittle or put down the comment. Its much easier to use your energy to be kind. Try it please...

    Pilgrim masses in Santiago cathedral to be suspended from Monday 28 January 2019

    After the long walk I noticed that the Cathedral was looking very tired and in need of repairs last October 2018. Its great news that they are tending to the old place. This famous mass is lovely, but its just a mass and can be enjoyed when it returns. In the meantime embrace the unique...

    I want to go back!

    Hi Matt - really admire your determination. I walked it in September 2018 and made the mistake of saying I did it in 31 days on the forum. It was then followed by lots of people saying take your time and bla bla bla ........ Truth is you do the preparation your way and walk the journey your...

    Realistic timeframe

    HI Gary - I did St Jean to Santiago in 31 days September/October 2018. Its tough at times but you get into a rhythm. Its worth training, I did 2 months preparation which was beneficial as no blisters. If you set off 6:30 a.m. daily you get to most destinations mid afternoon giving you...
