    Two Dutch sisters planning VdlP

    You will enjoy it very much. The countryside is wonderful. When it comes to the decision much later into the trek as to whether you go via the Frances or the Ourense route take the Ourense route. Harder, but more rewarding and you can stay at the monastry of Oseira. This is a blog with a link...

    What did you do with your compostella/shell

    I live on Dartmoor, England, many miles from the sea. Down the road from my house is a wood. For sixteen years before I walked my first Camino, ( I have walked three others since plus other routes), I would take my dogs for a daily walk through the wood. The wood always has been and continues to...

    Where did you walk ( locally ) in 2018?

    Dear Kirkie, short, long, quick, slow, we are all different but we get there in the end, and that’s what’s really important. I have a fairly set routine. I leave early, I stop only for twenty minutes for lunch where I decide where I’m going to stay the night and then walk until I get there. It’s...

    Where did you walk ( locally ) in 2018?

    HI Kirkie, As you can imagine, it’s flat so rapid progress is possible. The Frances took me 21 days. My legs have a life all of their own and my body just seems to follow on.

    Resumed Camino

    Thanks Ann, it is very inspiring and very hot. In going onto Fisterra and then fly home on Friday. It is my forth Camino and as I'm hitting 70 next year will definitely be the last. The knees won't take no more, but I have loved everyone of them and have memories that no one can take away.

    Don't Hate Me... Itinerary review for Caceres to SDC

    I use a simple method. I always take the relevant CSJ book of hostels with me and around midday decide how far I want to walk in the afternoon and head for that hostel.
