    Two pilgrims trapped in tree by a cow

    I had a similar incident on the West Highland Way. A herd of cows in a narrow lane with stone walls on each side. They were placid enough but had they decided to move when I was walking past them I would have had nowhere to go. I climbed down to the nearby railway line and walked along there...

    Help choosing between CF, CdN, and VdLP

    ...it's too much ugly roadwalking through cities and along highways and to be avoided. So if you expect something like the pct, west Highland way, or alpine mountain hiking, you might be disappointed. Even on the Norte or the via de la Plata. The Caminos usually choose the shorter, easier...

    What pushed or invited or drew you to set off for 'The Camino'?

    ...walking and enjoyed it. The Camino spirit has definitely got into our hearts and we have gone on to walk the Aussie Camino and the West Highland Way in 2015, the Caminho Portuguese from Lisbon in 2016, the Camino del Norte in 2018, four walks in the UK in 2019, COVID put paid to 2020! In 2022...

    Morton’s Neuroma shoe choice

    I second this, my husband has a Morton’s neuroma and the lone peaks have been his best friend. He doesn’t have particularly wide feet either. He also went up a half size. We had tried 4 other brands prior and he suffered. Those sneakers are the only ones he will walk in.

    Morton’s Neuroma shoe choice

    Thanks Natcats, great you found your magic combo. After reading about them here on the forum, I also ordered lone peaks, but they are too soft/floppy for me. Also tried the speedgoats in wide, and misc Salomons. Thinking now Ultra raptors in wide might be the go, or Topo. But before ordering...

    Morton’s Neuroma shoe choice

    ...my Keens and suffered so much, honestly thought my long-distance walking days were over. But then with the Lone Peaks, I walked the West Highland Way last year with NOT A SINGLE BIT of problem. Nothing. That particular model and brand is very popular with the long distance thru...

    Edinburgh - Biarritz flights from April 2024

    That would be a fabulous route to take, especially if you wanted to double-up your adventure and take in the West Highland Way first!

    What should I do about a phone?

    Walked the Camino two years ago and last year walked the West Highland Way. Both times I used my USA T-mobile senior account which includes an international plan at no extra cost. Keeping your USA phone number is important if your bank requires third party confirmation.

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    Pretty sure it's still there 👍🏼 whiskey is the best way to give you energy and keep you warm...... and it certainly improves your singing voice to keep the pace 🤣

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    Nice! Reminds me of when I was descending from Conic Hill down to Balmaha on my first day on the West Highland Way in spring 1997 ... Does the Rob Roy Bar in Rowardennan still exist? I remember them wanting to fill whiskey into my water bottles 🤣

    Accommodation on the North Highland Way

    The Highland Council does not have a list I am afraid. You would need to look at our own web site.

    I arrived in Santiago and didn't see a single pilgrim.

    I'm pretty sure (like 100%) that Britain is not now nor never has been part of the Schengen zone, happy to stand corrected but a quick interweb search will tell you it's not. Just last year I exhausted my 90 day allowance and headed to Scotland to walk the West Highland Way without any drama.

    I know the West Highland Way, East Highland Way, Rob Roy Way, Cape Wrath Trail etc. But I don't know the North Highland Way? Is it a new walking trail in Scotland?

    Hi I'm Chris

    ...walking in Scotland and northern England in which to practice - Settle to Carlisle, St Cuthbert's Way, Northumberland Coastal Path, Fife Coastal Path, West Highland Way, Great Glen Way, Moray Coastal Path, Hadrian's Wall. I've done them all and they are great for a practice run. Go to it man!

    "The British pilgrimage problem" - magazine article

    ...accommodation. Walking and the outdoors seems to be pretty popular in the UK at the moment , with things such as The 3 Peaks, The West Highland Way etc and various "must do" locations seeing a lot of visitors and getting a fair amount of media coverage. Hypothetically I wonder if some of our...

    Planning for a week on the Gudbrandsdalsleden, Norway

    I walked St Olav's Way Oslo to Trondheim as a solo female in 2016. Being 7 years ago now (yikes 😳) & not knowing the effects of Covid, I'll just give generalised comments. Athough a through trail, the 'stages' were designed more as day walks by each commune along the way. This means they tended...
