    If you want solitude, don't walk the Camino Frances

    Silly Doll, I had an incredible experience in September walking the CF. I sought solitude based on what I thought it meant. I did not find that. Initially, I became involved in the pace. I made Pamplona in two days. On day 7, I sat in Villambistia with shin splints. I took the autobus to Burgos...

    My moment at the Cruz de Ferro- a memorial

    Rory, like you, I carried something to that hill that had special meaning. Two things really moved me. First, the journey to leave a rock for a dear friend dying of cancer. Second, the fact that I was not alone as I stood next to that pole. Brother, we all stood with you on that day. And we...

    trekking poles

    Checked the poles in a throw-a-way duffle bag and brought my pack on the plane. No problems.

    Alert Results of investigation of Sept. highway deaths?

    We actually thought it was closer to Santiago. All of us were cognizant of the dangers presented by highway traffic but seemed to get a bit too comfortable towards the end. This incident put everything back in perspective. I pray those families find some level of peace knowing their relatives...

    Hat or No Hat? That is the question!

    You haven't seen this fat boy walk! Actually, I think I can hit a good pace. Maybe we will meet up along the way.

    Hat or No Hat? That is the question!

    I tend to be either a bandanna or baseball hat kinda guy! In Texas heat, I wear a hat 50% of the time when I am doing outside activities. The heat is not the issue, it is the sweat in my eyes. I may just

    Train from Paris (CDG) to st.jean pied-du-port

    How long does it take to get from Paris to SJPdP by Train? Does it make more sense to fly into Pampalona and bus/train to SJPdP?

    SJPP to Orrison incline?

    I have trained on a treadmill up to a 15 degree incline for 15 minutes at a time using a speed of 5.5 to 6 kph with a back pack. I have also hit local hills with less height but decent increase. I have had little or no problem on the road or on the treadmill. It seems easier using trekking poles...

    Initial Planning Stages for my Camino

    Barring injuries, I do not intend to take any form of transportation. But you are right, JP. I will allot for 30 days and then see what happens. I tend to move fast but the pace you stated seems arduous. Part of the challenge for me is the physical sacrifice required. I have never truly known...

    Initial Planning Stages for my Camino

    I am in pretty good shape at this point and could see value in both the physical and spiritual approaches to the journey. This morning, I did an 11k walk in new boots with a pack (unloaded). I went down a local country road and could not believe the peace I find in my silence and solitude. It...
