As for myself I find a great part of the fun of the Camino is gathering together the lightest and most versatile gear(everything must be able to be worn or used for at least one other purpose). And the 5 euros a day would add up quickly and buying a new shirt or socks along the way is cheaper...
Who needs a tent? I just spread my silver emergency blanket out and sleep under the stars. Every virtual night is warm with a star filled sky. I saw a meteor shower last night.
I started a walking buddies group but so far you are the only one to give me their member name. The member number also works.
How was your night of camping last night?
We wanted to make it to Foncebadon so we walked after dinner. Darn. We walked right past it but had a lovely view of Cruz de...
Thanks Sue for your name. You are just a little ahead of me. we had to sleep out under the stars between St Jean and Roncesvalles but other days have managed to find some interesting little villages on our short days. And a virtual Camino gives you lots of leeway. We haven't had to take a taxi...
I would love to create my group. What names are my fellow virtual Walker's using ?
I added my picture to my name on the site. Maybe if you all did that I could pick you out.
Thanks
We walked from Leon to San Martin del Camino today along a trail in the pines of Washington. The sun was out and several people were very talkative just like the actual Camino.
Tomorrow Astorga 🌻🍫
How do we form a neighbor's group? If you are more savy than I am please add Camino Sharon.
Thanks
I love planning. Using the walking for fun website my husband and I have accumulated 61.8 miles in the past week. We are walking the virtual Camino Francis and do enough miles each day to get to a town with a private room (for social distancing) We planned an extra day in Pamplona pretending we...
we never take a guidebook on the Camino after the first trip so this site has all the information you need as long as you have a mobile phone

I like this app. I tried to create a 25 day schedule to give you time to walk to Fisterra but you can see long miles some days. Just an idea
Day 1: Mon, 3/9/20 Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port -- Orreaga/Roncesvalles (16.0 miles)
Day 2: Tue, 3/10/20 Orreaga/Roncesvalles -- Larrasoaña (16.8...

I stayed here with my granddaughters-- it's within walking distance of the Eiffel tower and all the other historic places. We loved it
One of the reasons I walk the Camino once or twice a year is so I don't have to take a tent. Enjoy the specialness of the Camino and the camaraderie with other pilgrims at albergues.
Save the tent for true backpacking. Although the Camino pilgrims carry a backpack (because a pilgrim does...
If you were looking for solitary experience then don't pick the busiest part of the Camino ---the last hundred kilometers. I have walked this part 10 times either in May September both busy months. The Camino changes when you reach this point. Busloads of pilgrims are dropped off and most of...
Well not experiencing a first Camino high may be true for some people's caminos. I reach a new high each camino. They keep getting better each time and this may be because I'm an experienced long-distance hiker My first one was lacking because I tried to hike it like the Pacific Crest trail...
I just took a look and it looks nice but at 100 euros a night off season it may be a little steep for the average pilgrim budget when one needs accommodation for 40 nights. I am willing to pay that and more to stay at the light house at Fisterre or in a Parador or another historical building...
If you use the only pilgrim's website to book your rooms you have paid in advance and they keep the room for you.

Some people are confused by the site but you go to hostels and then each hostel is listed by The village. You don't have to login that's only...
I am going to walk my 11th and 12th Camino this year, already have plane tickets. Do I think about the Camino every day, yes. I suppose I could unsubscribe to Ivar's daily emails and then maybe I won't think about it as often but why do that😱.
I often wonder why I am so drawn to the Camino...
https://www.puntido.com/. I recommend this albergue.it is across from the church which has one of the best Pilgrim blessings and on the whole Camino. The community dinner is excellent and I've made friends there every time I've stayed
