    "It's not about the gear" camino article from an irish jesuit blog

    Interesting (at least to me) that after reading my alerts I was thinking about how my posts are for the technical and practical aspects of the Camino. Maybe I'll discuss this later. Anyway, reading the article the OP steered us to came immediately following those thoughts. At the end though...

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    Same trail today as two days ago. The count is different though, 151.

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    I'm a month late reporting this walk. On April 19th I walked from home to Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts. That's where the War for American Independence started 249 years ago (some say Lexington earlier in the day but I'm a Concord fan). I've done this walk on several anniversaries...

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    We've been doing our usual daily walks but there hasn't been anything unusual going on with them. Things changed in the last few days though as spring took a great step forward. We noticed more pink lady slippers ready to bloom. Yesterday they took a vote and decided to then. Peg likes counting...

    Forecast arrival of pilgrims in Santiago

    You have one dependent variable, arrivals in Santiago, and many independent variables that affect the dependent variable such as time of year. From this you want to find a mathematical formula where the input varables yield a result. Look to regession analysis. Click fo Spanish Wikipedia...

    Slow but moving forward

    If you mean this, yes, Irache.

    Alternatives to Sarria to SDC

    You can take many buses a day from Sarria to Lugo (Monbus busline) and follow the Primitivo to the CF at Melide to skip some of the CF or take one of the Via Verdes (rail trails in the US) to skip more. You will still be qualified for a compostela. See these posts of mine for introductions to...

    Showers

    On the other hand moisture wicking socks are recommended for blister prevention. It doesn't make any sense to me to get your feet wet before walking.

    Definition of a Pilgrim 🤣

    A US military academy graduate once told me that they had a saying there; "You may run out of clean underwear but you never run out of underwear."

    Bike rental options on the Camino?

    I wrote a post about five years ago listing (and linking to) places that do bicycle rentals for the meseta. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/how-much-of-the-camino-frances-can-i-cover-in-19-days.65129/#post-796954

    Confused over date format

    Plus, when the date is in decreasing order (with leading zeros) at the start of the names of files their listings come up arranged in chronological and alphabetical order both. Edit: Here's an example. You see the date and time in the filenames. Also below the filename in the American mm/dd/yy...

    Confused over date format

    I made a mistake booking a train when I was inexperienced because I made our reservations based on the day of the week. I hadn't noticed that Spain's calendar week started on a Monday instead of our Sunday. The easy fix was to extend our stay in Barcelona by a day.

    New Camino Movie -The Way My Way - World Premiere

    I'll do better than that by showing how to do all sorts of fancy things but only after saying that having full URLs printed out can be a good thing. And that is if you print out a post or take a screenshot or do a copy and paste you can see where to go. This website tells you about BBC...

    New Camino Movie -The Way My Way - World Premiere

    Here's a eight minute review of TheWay, My Way. The reviewer's main point is the bad acting. He notes that it is done by amateurs, some are good and some bad but the unevenness bothers him. He has a few problems with the lead's acting too but wonders if it isn't because of Bennett's directing...

    Pilgrimage or vacation?

    Dictionary. com defines vacation as: a period of suspension of work, study, or other activity, usually used for rest, recreation, or travel; You meet the first part and so others assume the second part. You could say "On my time off/away I'm going on a pilgrimage." "Yeah, you oaf; a pilgrimage...
