    Lost & Found Take care of your gear!

    Let me preface this by saying please understand I am not picking on anybody, I fully understand that mistakes happen and how. Been there, done that. I have been astonished to see so many lost and found reports over the last two weeks. And not just little things : major items...

    When you know they get it….

    I’m on the Via Imperii at the moment, to date I’ve covered over 250km, and have yet to see another pilgrim. So imagine how I felt when I came across this today: Stamp, drinks, guest book…

    Do you collect a Compostela?

    Obviously, this is prompted by the current 'Trends in 2023 - Gronze article' thread. We talk about this often on the forum: how many pilgrims do NOT collect a Compostela? So because it's winter in Europe, and most of us are at home rather than on the Camino, it seems like the perfect time to...

    Staying motivated between Caminos

    Ok, it's winter, and it looks like it's going to be a long, cold one. There's already a thin layer of snow outside. Well, it was snow, it's now just ice - and it's as slippery as an ice rink too, just a heck of a lot rougher. Which makes going for any kind of walk doubly hard. Let alone a proper...

    Two questions to ( hopefully) make you think....

    1) How many of you answer a thread with out actually reading other people's answers? (Or even looking to see how long ago it was posted.) To be fair sometimes the OP doesn't even actually let the forum know that they have successfully resolved the problem, or that they've now finished their...

    How do you close your own thread?

    Say for example you asked a question or made a call for help, receive multiple answers and now you're safely back home - but days, weeks, even months later you keep getting responses to your original question. ?

    WARNING if you're leaving Sarria tomorrow (4th October 2023) ⚠️.

    A friendly heads up to anyone leaving Sarria tomorrow: An Italian friend (with five of her colleagues) is leading a group of 88 teenage students on the Camino from Sarria to Santiago, starting tomorrow! Yes, 94 people in one group. Anyone who meets a friendly, slightly shorter Italian woman...

    From my doorstep in Germany - a (very!) long term project

    I have been following the excellent thread from @sunflowerfunk, and it got me thinking. As others have pointed out I am one of the fortunate ones - I live in Europe. Specifically, Germany. Which, theoretically at least, is in walking distance from Santiago. And Germany has a 49 euro monthly...

    Walking the Rota Vicentina / Fishermans trail in October

    Greetings all. Hoping to get a couple of weeks to walk late October - perhaps into the first week of November. Really dislike the cold, and it seems like this would be a good option. Anyone done this recently? How many people are likely to be on the trail? I used to love to walk alone, but my...

    How to add a link to a previous thread

    Ok folks, this one has me beat. I have searched and searched, but I can't find the answer to this - @dougfitz I am not! How do I add a link to a previous thread? I've tried several things, but whilst I can add something from an external source, I can't figure this out. I'm sure it's really...

    LIVE from the Camino Mid July on the Primitivo

    Greetings all. After multiple minor setbacks I'm finally in Ovideo! We're talking skyrocketing flight prices, leg injuries (hence serious lack of training), Train cancellations, flight delays..... Nothing new under the sun, frustrating when one follows the other... But the Camino is calling...

    Forum search problems

    That’s exactly the problem I face. For example, looking for any threads on the potential weather in July for the Primitivo I entered: July weather Camino Primitivo. 8 pages, much of which referencing July - on every route . ONE really useful thread on the first two pages - from Nadine, who’s...

    Camino Ingles/ Credential

    Here’s an odd question for you - when (as I understand it) the Ingles is one of the more popular Caminos, why doesn’t it show on the map on the rear of the Credential ? There’s plenty of room…..

    Accommodation issues on the Norte ?

    Greetings all. I’ve got friends walking the Norte at the moment. They’re reporting that in Bilbao and onwards ( three days now) everything (budget) is full. Cheapest double they could get in Bilabao was €90, at 14.00 . The next three days prices haven’t been much better. Appreciate they could...
