    LIVE from the Camino —Nájera

    Hi, sorry to hear about your fall but glad you are well. I had such terrible foot problems on the Camino a few years ago near Sahagun, bleeding and infected toes especially the small toe on my left foot, that I went to the clinic there and saw the doctor. He was friendly and professional and as...

    Same Camino over and over again

    We have now missed out on the 2020 and 2021 Camino's as a result of Covid. In our minds we have packed and unpacked our backpacks a hundred times. We are hoping to have had our vaccines by end of this year so that we can start planning our walk. We've done 11 Camino's, some twice ie. the...

    Who has packed the lightest pack?

    My darn chronic medication weighs more than that and as I'm from South Africa I have to take it all with me for at least 30 days every time we walk and now I'm not even beginning to talk about my husband's chronic meds. Woe me!😢

    How long do your shoes last?

    My new Merrill lasted a third of the Norte trail from Irun to Santiago. Ending in Santiago I had 3 pairs of inner soles in them. They now hang in my garden with plants in them. Didn't need to make to holes for drainage as the were holier than my watering can. Must say I didn't have even the...

    Simcard

    Looking for books

    Hi David, am going to see if they can post it to me to the albergue I'll be staying in in June. I'm from South Africa and the postal services (unfortunately) are non-existent. If need be I appreciate the kind thought tremendously.

    Looking for books

    Good day fellow Camino walkers, does anyone perhaps have a copy of the following two books: 1) Hillaire Belloc = The path to Rome 2) Peter Francis Brown = Rambling on the road to Rome. I can't find them anywhere and would like them dearly.

    Knee replacement!

    On our first camino in 2006 we met at Spanish gentleman who had had bilateral knee replacements and a hip replacement. He was also in his 70's. I work for an orthopaedic trauma surgeon (have for the last 20 years) and my advice would be to wait at least 6 months after your surgery and attend a...
