  1. David with new Kit!

    Jubilee Year of Hope 2025

    Also, “your” Camino does not have to end in SdC. Maybe consider doing a “stage” or perhaps one of the shorter caminos that of themselves don’t end in SdC. For example San Salvador or Lebaniego. No need to avoid in 2025, I might have to adapt, but I’ll be on a Camino one way or another.

    Bus from A Coruña to Ferrol?

    We did it last September and its very easy to take the bus from the airport into town. When you get to the A Coruña bus station go directly downstairs and look for the correct stand. (Our bus stopped outside the bus station so we crossed the road to enter it) Be aware that there are two buses...

    Leaving a small bag at Madrid airport

    That was just a random pic to show what was available. I have the same rucksack but I cant remember if I have a 40 litre or 50 litre liner as there are no markings on it. Sorry! However, there are similar bags, a lot cheaper, so I just bought a couple of sizes to see which worked for me

    Leaving a small bag at Madrid airport

    https://www.craghoppers.com/40l-dry-bag-agave-green/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw0YGyBhByEiwAQmBEWh85FwUJ_eQESzMBlhNiqmETGMG6qYSCvO96KJhtEU8i2cetT3rkHhoCnRcQAvD_BwE I use similar to this one at 80g. As it’s a top loader it works well as a liner too

    Leaving a small bag at Madrid airport

    As an alternative, I use a lightweight rolltop bag to put my rucksack and poles in (poles in the rucksack). On arrival, I put the lightweight rolltop bag in my rucksack and it later becomes my rucksack liner (to help against the rain) Depends how heavy your lightweight bag is of course, and its...

    That infamous descent into Zubiri

    Hah - Just wait until you do the descent into Molinaseca! DOH - Just spotted the original date!

    Plantar fasciitis.

    And I thought it was only me!! I'm doing all of the above too, but can more or less still manage around 24kms sin rucksack. My biggest issue is that its too painful for me to climb those thin rungs on bunkbeds to get to the top bunk. So, I'm avoiding bunkbeds on my September camino (where I can)

    Book "A Travel Guide to the Middle Ages" - the medieval pilgrim experience

    Yes - Maybe out of stock, but at least I have a delivery date. It will give me something interesting to read before my September Camino Primitivo...... Order Confirmation Arriving: Thursday, July 25

    want solitude

    Hello @lmans At lot of the stuff you may read about doing a Camino is not to true for everyone. For example, I have never felt the need to join a Camino family. Sure I speak to people, but I don't attach myself to them either. The choice is entirely yours. As for Albergues, there are people...

    Language questions

    As a Scot, I ask for bastones baratos de caminar - Cheap hiking poles 😇

    Last min questions

    You will have a great time, honest! As above, I don’t have specific town clothes either. After my shower I put on my “tomorrow clothes”, which is what most (but not all) do. Have a great time 😁

    How to pay for bus within Santiago?

    Apart from the airport trip, I have never used the bus within Santiago, its a very walkable city

    Long sleeve sun safe top

    Great choice - I wear the male version and one can have sleeves up or sleeves down. I never wear short sleeves on a summer Camino in case I forget to apply sun tan lotion. I've seen too many "lobsters" walking!

    Maybe a rude question! How old are you?

    It seems that we attract few "spring chickens"

    Hiking up O Cebreiro in the Rain

    I've done it in the rain too. I agree with the comments above. If you are steady on your feet you will be fine. BTW - Its a fantastic stop if you manage to get accommodation - Enjoy

    25 km per day?

    Also, depending on the Camino, it’s not always possible to do “short” stages. The stage distance “is what it is”. Personally 20-24kms suits me best but can do more if its necessary

    New Camino route identified

    Sr Flechas Amarillas (Yellow arrows) - Was this on April 1st !!

    BBC "Pilgrimage" series 6 - North Wales Pilgrim Way

    I watched the first episode last night. It was interesting to see how any preconceptions about the "walk" quickly disappeared. Its great to see them opening up to each other and I liked hearing their opinions. Not unlike an albergue conversation........
