    T2 diabetes - Anyone walked with this?

    I have walked before and wish to return. But I have since been diagnosed with T2 which I control well with diet and no meds or insulin yet. But I remember the very carby (but lovely) meals I had at the time. So I now wonder whether you – as a type 2 – have been able to 'walk off' the usual...

    Albergues, open April 2013? Tosantos, San Bol, Viloria de la

    Last year (2011) I walked from Roncesvalles to Astorga – started with no ambitions or expectations at all – just a strong feeling that this was something I wanted/needed to do – no idea where the idea came from. Time restrictions stopped me in Astorga (66 years then and somewhat or maybe rather...

    Lack of electrolytes – an issue on the Camino?

    I have met several references (both in posts and also in various camino blogs) about the necessity of adding electrolytes to your intake on the camino – either on an occasional or regular basis. A great number of persons seems to find this to be an important issue, so I finally googled and...

    Copyright on camino photos?

    Dear all, and especially those of you who have made blogs with camino photos. I had the idea that I would walk on the camino without a camera (usual reason – wanting to absorb directly and not through a camera lense for photo opportunities). Bad decision. Now I certainly regret it (i.e. not...

    Bicyclist on the Camino

    Dear all, Well knowing that this is a controversial issue on the forum, i just wish to add my impressions. At a time (May this year, 2011), I at one time chose to take a rather round-about way along a highway instead of walking along the camino-track, which to me seemed straight into an abyss...

    Physical/mental fatigue on the Camino – Hitting a wall?

    I recently read in a post (sorry, cannot just locate it now – it was at the end of a long thread) that it seemed to be a common phenomenon to experience both physical and mental fatigue after 5 – 7 days into the camino. I have thought about this, because this was exactly what I felt (checked my...

    Handicaps? – Preferential treatment in albergues?

    I never thought that I would ask this question. I returned from 435 km on the Camino Frances in May – the time of my life (66, started as somewhat unfit – returned a lot more fit). Dared to do it thanks to this forum and all of you. However, shortly after my return I fell and broke my...

    El camino del Rey

    This is a different camino – El Camino del Rey (near Malaga). Do not watch the attachment if you are scared of heights (but the guy walking did it with a handheld camera!) – I nearly died watching it – had to tell myself all the time that if he had fallen, he would not have lived to tell. I...

    Maybe off topic? New thread? Moderators?

    Just returned home after five wonderful (and occasionally tough) weeks on the camino. Now tending to my neglected garden, I came to think how wonderful it would be to share reminiscences with others who have been on the camino. This led me to think that I would be happy to accommodate 'camino'...

    Weight reduction – How far will you go?

    I just found myself cutting out pages of a 'pretty' guidebook (Brierley's – glossed pages – therefore somewhat heavy) thus reducing it to half its weight (now only 150 g). Maybe I might have found another lightweigh guide, but I did not know better at the time. It certainly went against my...

    Descent from Alto Mezqueriz and Zubiri

    Thanks to all for your wonderful advice on this site (have now booked plane tickets). My concern (having studied the Brierley guide), is now how difficult the descents between Roncesvalles and Zubiri will be – my first day of walking. (And I have no ambition of breaking any records – but to...

    Ascencion day - June 2 - Public holiday in Spain?

    I am about to finally book flight tickets to Pamplona and back (am based in Copenhagen) - and this is done with a lot of trepidation - I will be way outside my comfort zone in doing this, but I have decided that now it must be. (Thank you all on this site for giving me the courage) My question...

    Equipment - A newcomer's thoughts

    As a first-timer (soon to be) on the camino, I have been delighted to find this website. I am so thankful for alle the knowledge shared by oldtimers and experienced members – also with regard to what to take onto the camino. I am very well aware that I need to carry a light pack, and you are...
