    LIVE from the Camino Le Puy to Santiago. Finally!

    Nothing to do with the Camino; just to let you know there are other delights... I recall a tour (bike) with a mate Cherbourg - Bordeaux - Cherbourg. There was one day so hot, the roads so open, the roads were the only things open (strike/Sunday/Holiday who knows) and we were in the middle of...

    Real Pilgrims

    Well, live and learn, humble pie and apologies here. I was under the impression, wrongly so, that the description for cycling pilgrims was used in a slightly derogatory sense. Sorry. In the back of my French Cycling Guide to the CF is a photo of an Albergue sign with a poster attached, in...

    Real Pilgrims

    "Wot! No us and them"? OK, maybe I should have said disillusioned instead of depressed. I am very, very new to this forum and what it's about and my enthusiasm took a hit, that's all. I just never expected it. ;-)

    Real Pilgrims

    Bravo Susan, you said it all. I wish you well and have a good camino as they say here. I have just finished this thread and found it a bit depressing, like the "marque" elitist's I have met in the various clubs to which I have belonged in the past. I am surprised to read so much and written with...

    Hello everyone :)

    Thanks Peter. I am immensely proud of her. We only got together recently and she often spoke of her "walks" which I didn't, couldn't, really relate to as my passion has been for two wheels for many years. She text'd me this evening. "I will only do 12k tomorrow as it's difficult.." Bit of an...

    Hello everyone :)

    Well, she has been walking for a month with one rest day and limping too badly for my liking but with about 150k (approx) to go. Today I clicked Google from Villafranca del Bierzo to Vega de Valcarce where she arrived just after lunch. Knowing how hard she is finding it even on a diet of...

    Google Mapping Car

    Well that is really, really cool, bravo :-) I click around the CF each day after I get a position report from my partner and each walker/cyclist I see, embedded forever in the Google archives, are probably people who indeed use this forum and don't yet know they are there. I was certain I saw my...

    Could this be possible...

    SMS, EMail ok but not much feeling. My partner is on the CF and about halfway today, stopping at Villacazar de Sirga last night and a slow Sunday today. She is striking blonde with blue eyes, French and too far away from me at the moment. Anyone recognising her give her a big congratulatory hug...

    Accomodation...or lack of

    Just read your post @koilife and I think I have the answer, thanks . Edit corrects typo.

    Accomodation...or lack of

    Hmm, disturbing reading. My partner is currently almost half way along the CF with high morale and making good progress, starting SJPDD 5 May and staying tonight in Villacazar de Sirga. She has had to walk on another 5k because of Complete on one occasion and again by choice (full of animals and...

    Hello everyone :)

    Thanks Introibo - I haven't even walked before but thanks for the tip. I'm sure if and when the time comes my Pèlerine will get me sorted but the focus is on two wheels at the moment.

    Hello everyone :)

    Ha, little wonder you and possibly others were surprised. Not so much a typo but inaccuracy due to misunderstanding on my part. For 20kilo's read 8kil0's with water, sorry.

    Hello everyone :)

    I'll confirm the weight after tomorrow's contact but I'm sure that's what she said and it certainly felt like it when I carried it from the car park to the train and as for my back problem, normally I am without unless I walk a lot but maybe this year I will try some practice walks with her when...

    Hello everyone :)

    First, congratulations on a really great site. Soooo informative and a pleasure to surf. OK, complete newbie here but totally hooked on "doing it" since my new partner began her third and final stage Way of St James SJPDP - Santiago on May 5th, beginning two years ago from Le Puy en Velay via...
