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...
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
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...
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
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 -...
ah yes
i remember walking with you for a bit on the vdlp
it must have met you at your graduation party then, Ian
i will remember you and a bunch of crazy Irish girls and english boys walking through the night
in (how you say in english) not in showroom condition
.
and like one addict to another...
ha
i must admit i got a bit excited when i saw the subject line
i thought this was going to be a sugested method of dealing with snorers
.
you know
as in
"place plastic bag over the head....."
.
ah well next time
Re: Choice, or necessity?
i experienced the most wonderful walking etiquette on the vdlp
those of us starting out in the dark
would assemble outside the albergue
in silence
and start walking together
until the route was easier to see
.
then a seemingly unwritten pilgrim code happened....
slowly...
of course if youre doing it by bike
you could double the distance
or not
depending on how things go

without breaking the creativity of this thread
id be interested to hear it from the administrator
or moderators
.
the question then being - under what circumstances
would they lock a thread
evict a member
edit out a post
.
that would probably give the outside parameters
then within that, all...
Re: Choice, or necessity?
nice question
out of choice
i walk with everybody
i just dont feel the need to:
- eat with them
- talk with them
- sleep with them
.
unless they become special
.....as in life, as on camino
on average 25 kays per day
depends on so many factors.....
on the vdlp i did shortest day 16 kays
and longest 50 kays (out of major stupidity) (twice !)
.
remember
the 25 kays in the first week of your walk is longer and more difficult
than the 25 kays in the second, 3rd, etc week
.
so if you...
! this is a wonderful thread
i remember starting out one morning in the pitch black
with a dim tourch
that could hardly light up my feet as i walked
in the darkness i missed said crucial arrow
but marched on oblivious for another hour
until i came to what was very obviously a dead end
.
i...
progress means everything is so instant
...3 easy steps to making the sunday roast
...5 steps to raising model children
...7 steps of highly effective people
.
? so how many steps to get to S'diago
the average pilgrims step length is 76.2cm
the average distance per day to do the 1000km vdlp in...
? what price progress
.
while walking the vdlp last year
i noticed the new bullet train takes a more direct route
and doesn't follow the old route taken by the old train track
possible impact will be the by-passing of the smaller towns
? and their ultimate demise
unless they reinvent themselves...
this is how it works
.
on day one of your camino
you go straight to the first bar and watch the 3 day weather forecast
it says - sunny, sunny, cold /wet
you go to the post office
you mail 3 boxes of clothing as follows
town 2 - "To The Hospitalero, El Next Municipal Albergue", one shirt shorts...
