Your more than welcome and if you need to talk simply try to write a trip report as it happens and ask forum members for recommendations along the way. In philosophy it suggests that our intentions are a listening post to the universe 🤠
I'm currently at home but my state of bliss is always on the Camino. This forum is an extension of the walk and I'm sure you'll meet up with kindred souls when you least expect it. Value your time in solitary contemplation and maybe try to inwardly discover the Self. Maybe this is your Camino...
Despite which route your on and inspite of time of year its your camino, create what you need. Even if your surrounded by other pilgrims ignore them, walk in silence, walk at a slower pace or at speed. Wear strange clothing or avoid washing. Either way, create your own way and Its sometimes...
I'll be the one speaking softly, carrying a big stick, wearing an Ireland top and Tilley hat as per profile pic. I'm expecting to walking out of SJPdeP on 29th towards Meseta. I've no idea where I'll be as in it for the journey not destination. I expect ill hear of you guys whizzing past and ill...
As eluded to sounds like there hasn't been alot of that and when representing a charity and the intentions around it would it not be better to put a degree of preparation and planning that does the charity justice rather than last minute. I am a cyclist and own a bike busines and my assessment...
I believe 7 days is possible if you cycle on roads but if your planning to cycle trails by mountain bike in 6.5 days I'd suggest that although you guys might be able to do the impossible, its more challenging to do miracles. The additional pressure of completing due to charitable involvement...
No but this article might be of interest, what happens if you don't make it to Santiago in alotted timeframe, Public transport? How does that impact on fundraising activity? Im aware of a cyclist who completed the entire journey within 24 hours but he was a pro racer. You guys must be quite good...
So is it a partially sighted bike tour, covering 800 kms in 7 days. A wee bit of a challenge which I wish you luck with but then I prefer to think that preparation meeting opportunities equals luck and based on your questions I would have to say you don't come across as having done your due...
Not wanting to add to those tears but at 1200 metre's you might want to keep handkerchief handy when you realise there's another 230m to climb but it's all downhill after that for 7.5km
Not at all, I'm planning same crossing on the 29th September and expect it to take 8 hrs but I am mindful from last year's walk to book ahead in Ron. The Camino is not just a physical undertaking but an opportunity to meet people and hear and tell your story, hence reason I booked stopover in...
Porto (coastal route) to Santiago is hard to beat, very romantic, endless boardwalks and ocean views until joining on to central route. The Portuguese people are friendlier, their food is tastier and better value for money. It'll be challenge to walk it in 2 weeks but very flat and can be achieved 🤠
Thanks @davebugg , your valuable advice and insight this time last year has made me the pilgrim I am today 😉 Ultreya (think I've been spelling it incorrectly, another lesson learned 🙏)
I appreciate all the 'licks' 👍and positive intentions. Leading on from expectations, having booked my flight my attention has turned to booking my first two nights accommodation. Based on the valuable insights received here this time last year I booked the Napoleon Gite in St Jean, Kayola near...
