great attitude Jo
and if you miss the first shell at the cathedral in Seville
and 3 days later get to a town marked Cadiz
dont cross over the big pond
turn around and retrace your steps
thatll be a really authentic and adventurous camino
buen attitude
no bragging rights accrue for this
.
through sheer stupidity i walked 50kays on 2 separate occasions
its not that the distance is difficult
you wake up, you put your left foot in front of your right foot, and repeat
for 12 hours
.
what nearly finished me off was running out of water
it was the...
trick #27 for a happy outing....
.
identify all variables that could lead to unhappiness
physical
mental
equipment
.
write down ways to limit said unhappiness
.
so, body wear and tear can be tested prior to the event
by visiting physical professionals
careful selection of kit
training body in...
there is not a straight line between 2 dots
the camino dot and the job dot are just 2 dots
of millions
dont force the connection
.
just breath
and be open to possibilities

btw
how to make god laugh?
tell her your career plans
the whole weight thing needs to be approached very scientific
until it comes to 200g merino dresses
this is essential pilgrim attire
its only once youve penetrated the inner circle of the pilgrim network that they tell you this
.
so consider this a heads-up
.
it is regarded as very pilgrimish to...
caitlin dearie
there are 2 options here
either
option 1: you put on 10kays by eating sticky buns for a month (this will increase your 10% body weight rule) - clevver hay ?
or
option 2: you shed 10kays, thus reducing your overall load of body + pack, and then who cares what the percentage ratio...
so this is great...
the Way and your relationship are one and the same thing
you cant separate the 2
.
so ask said wife to give you something to take with you
either words
a symbol of some sort
a memory
a question
a promise
a dream
a goal
.
promise each other to look at the moon every night at...
it is now a year and a bit since i finished my walk from Seville to Santiago
i will in all likelyhood not walk another camino
and before the walk i spent about 10 months on the site planning reading preparing
.
but if its over why am i still so attached
why do i still come back to this site
why...
thanks Laurie
puleez let not the Millenium be shut down
i bunked down there in sheer luxuary
after a long day
.
i had intended to do a decent stage of 35kays from Los Santos to Almendralejo
but blinked and missed the turn-off
so marched on oblivious
until i collapsed outside a bar in Torremegia...
good for this Saint Anton dude
let not minor inconveniences mar the festivities for the masses
.
parhaps they could consider introducing the "flaming-A" as a type of sideshow
for when the bull gets tired
hi paddy
this is your chance to dress up in lycra
and have good reason
.
the theory is that the lycra material reduces friction
the tech versions wick away the moisture
the slightly longer leg length prevents skin-on-skin rubbing
and the contoured front holds your tackle snugly where it sould be...
this is interesting
the OP has con-joined the words pilgrimage and kindle
with the word perfect
and ive dragged myself into the am i a better pilgrim than you debate
so seriously - thanks for pointing it out to me gently
i was a lawyer once, but have now become a judge
imho
the essence of the camino, is being on the camino
and not somewhere else
electronica can take you somewhere else
if i wanted to be somewhere else, then id watch The Way movie
while fiddling on my kindle
as they say - its just about preferences
hmmm
a kindle is nothing more than a modern library card
but thats the wrong answer
the right question is why do you want to go to a library
its a lovely day, now get outside and play with the other children
.
on my camino
i disconnect from the great world wide information grid
and connect with...
when i first joined the aa as an active alcoholic
my sponsor asked what my reasons were for wanting to clean up my act
and i trotted out the usual reasons family kids wife job friends blah blah
he says
this is the most selfish 12 step programme in the world
you doing it only for yourself -...
now that we all on first name terms.....
i carried a deft little trowel;/ spade for digging said cat-holes
but as you say k-fun, the ground required a pick axe
so i soon dumped the hardware

fession time
being in a city when it was time for a wee with no facilities in sight was no prob
(this...
hmmm

having watched The Way movie
id go for a 2 year old any time
rather than the sullen 60 year old brat Sheen

toddlers are a lot more fun
and rewarding
they eat less
cost nothing for accommodation
dont argue (unnecessarily)
clothes are smaller to wash
will slot in with your early rise and...
