    To Richard from Dublin

    This is for all the Richards out there: Dear Richard, who rode the train with me from Leon to santiago. Thank you so much for encouraging me to go to the cathedral and complete my camino. I wasn't going to go because I had injured my knee and was only able to walk a hundred miles. I felt...

    Help for the unfit! How many hours from Orisson to Roncesvalles?

    I am 65 years old and way less fit than I thought with 2 artificial hips. I did the napoleon route beause I wanted to see the views of the pyrenees. It was foggy both days but I did eventually get somewhat of a view when I got above the clouds. It was HARD. It took me almost 11 hrs but I did...

    Help - need a plug adaptor

    Name the one thing you could never have prepared for

    That I would be so emotional. That people,would be so kind and take your pack right out of your hands and help you to a bed and tell you to check in later when they see you have over extended yourself. That serendipity would be the norm rather than the exception. And much much more.

    Are There Really That Many More Pilgrims?

    I was kind of hoping the "surge" was because more people were going in the spring to avoid the summer rush there by leaving june and July less populated. ;)

    A death in Lorca

    Sad for his family and maybe he wouldn't have wanted to go yet or that way. For myself I can't think of a better way to go.

    Social anxiety...

    I have those same thoughts at times. I'm basically a quiet person but I do enjoy sitting with others and listening. I want to walk alone but I know I will have to put myself out there if I want company in the evening. I just tell myself don't be silly, you will be fine and find something else to...

    Highway of horror

    I've been reading "I'm off then" by Hape Kirklin and he gives a horrific description of walking on the shoulder of the highway between villa franca and vega. Has anyone walked that? I am terrified of walking close to speeding traffic. I nearly had a panic attack walking across the golden gate...
