    Trying to understand

    Thanks to all those who have replied to this thread. Your replies were thoughtful and beautiful. My husband and I had our 2020 plans for our first Camino dashed due to COVID, but we are able to hike quite a bit near our home.

    COVID New start dates?

    My husband and I would have woken up in Madrid this morning, and had planned to begin our first Camino from SJPdP on the 24th. Our sadness comes in waves, I would say.

    What do you do when you cannot walk anymore?

    Camino Podcast Episode 39 - The Camino Francés, Part 5

    Dave, thank you very, very much for your podcast! My husband and I love listening and are thankful you’re putting up new episodes. I was wondering if you knew how many days Graham English took to complete his walk that you spoke about on the podcast?

    Stretching possibilities

    Thank you, Dave, for this suggestion. I will check it out, for sure as we work to balance cushion needed with the weight of the pad. Trying to keep all things lightweight and minimal.
