    I drink a litre between getting up, using the ablutions, remembering who I am and what it is I’m trying to achieve and setting boot to tarmac (other surfaces may be available). On the Frances, with a couple of exceptions, I’ll carry 500ml, drink...

    zora reacted to PeconicBill's post in the thread Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos? with Like Like.
    I was 69 when I walked the CF and have since walked the Portuguese route, the Le Puy-Santiago route, and the route from Arles to Leon (so far). Walking the Camino triggered an interest in medieval history and I am now in the dissertation stage...

    I walked my first Camino in 2013 with a granddaughter who had just graduated with her Bachelor's in Nursing and at my ripe old age of 75, I figured I was in good hands if anything happened along The Way! She didn't believe in taking a bus or...

    Set off to reach Santiago for my 70th birthday, the first person I met on the climb up to Orisson (and the only person walking slower than me), was an 84-year US doctor and we kept each other company as far as Pamplona. Have been back most...

    Dear all, I woke up this morning to over 200 new spam accounts having signed up and started sending inappropriate Private messages to members. I am so sorry for this! They have now all been deleted. When I woke up, I did disable the...

    Dr. Bronners soap does a marvelous job, leaving very little to no residue, and my clothes feel pretty darn clean afterwards. I like the lemon scented one for laundry, and the lavender one for shower time.🪻🍋

    zora reacted to Gekkosan's post in the thread Need help deciding to bring or not to bring with Like Like.
    I love it how everyone has such different notions of what’s “essential” for them. I used my Apple Watch AND my phone heavily. Both of them. Likewise, I had never used walking poles before I started El Camino, but boy - I’m never taking to a...

    zora reacted to WalkingInGers's post in the thread Accommodation - to book or not to book with Like Like.
    This answer reminds me of what is referred to in France as « une réponse de Normands » (an answer from people out of Normandy who will answer negatively and then answer positively or vice-versa.

    I was 59 in 2002 and none of the WiFi whiz tech was available. 17 lbs in my Kelty, later a Vaude. Hardly anyone in Colorado Springs, including REI, had a clue where I was going. "Pilgrimage across Spain... are you like a nun, or something?"...

    Oh, we don't know what we can do until we do it. On my first Camino I thought just getting to SJPP was an achievement - everything that followed was icing on the cake. I couldn't imagine making it to Santiago till the last couple of weeks -...
