    Death of American pilgrim in Castromaior today

    I am so sorry for your loss. May the Camino’s eternal reach (feel however this is meaningful for you) comfort you and your dear ones, holding you all close in love. God bless, Catherine.

    Any suggestions for a technical shirt with the performance of Merino but without the drawbacks?

    Like many things there is no false equivalence with merino clothing and their supply chains, fibre quality, and ecological/social cost. Buyer responsibility can save you some stress and provide you greater comfort and wearability. While naming a brand brings issues, non transparency is a greater...

    Tips for walking in the heat

    @David thank you to you and other members for what is a vital post. We walked the CF last August. I can’t imagine doing this without our sun umbrellas or electrolyte/potassium tablets. Hydrating before you leave (from the previous evening), and the wee test are marathon tips. If you are not...

    Foncebadon!!!

    🦋😀Paulo Coelho mentioned ‘the dogs’ too. We stayed in Rabanal, after reading his book on our first Camino Frances, 2012.There was a little bit of dog barking at the moon, nothing too malicious. Quite the opposite happened. An also a mythical like horseman, for some reason rode repeatedly past...

    Theft overnight in an Albergue

    Bonne courage! So sorry you experienced this. I admire your stoic nature and may kindness of others surround the rest of your Camino as others have expressed. Take care. Take heart, and thank you for reporting.

    COVID 8 days left of Camino Frances and too sick to walk

    I am so sorry you are sick, and also to other pilgrims who are testing positive on this thread. There is good advice here already, so just to reiterate - rest and care for yourself gently. The Camino will wait and it plays with time, yeah? Maybe you can frame your healing as ‘unexpected...

    LIVE from the Camino Return to the CF after 10 years

    Thank you for your posts. They are evocative and also highlight just how unique each day can be, from a previous day, and a previous walk. We are also returning to walk the Camino Frances after ten years. My husband, Tim retires in two weeks time. We also promised each other we would return at...

    Walking in a "skort" (skirt/shorts hybrid)

    Yeah. I think so. Didn’t know it at the time haha!❤️

    The Camino Isn’t A Pilgrimage Anymore

    Such a good question @VNwalking: ‘And what do I want to sow’. Thank you for that. You know it seems this topic is on the one hand, posing an individual lens question about a large body of participants headed to Santiago on the pilgrimage routes. And on the other, it is considering whether this...

    Walking in a "skort" (skirt/shorts hybrid)

    It’s super annoying. I don’t think the Lululemon skirt was particularly cheap but it was my fave from SJPDP to Fisterre. And I wore it for a few years back home. Good luck with your options. (I admit it only had one little pocket 😃)

    Walking in a "skort" (skirt/shorts hybrid)

    So true. The thing with dude’s shirts is that they are often less expensive than trendy ‘boyfriend’ designer women’s ones. Totally hear you on not wanting all your sets of clothing to not have a masculine fit. I really love fajhlraven (need to spell check that!) gear. I am a Kiwi. My hubby is...

    Walking in a "skort" (skirt/shorts hybrid)

    Excellent reason Eve!I am not far behind you in height. I wore a Lululemon skort way back in 2012 and I too preferred it over knee length shorts, that didn’t reach my knees.😄 It dried fast too. It lasted 900ks and then some. These reasons are offered as practical advice and are not born out of...

    I have lost myself

    Dear Matt Thank you for your honest reflection on the ongoing transition of your reintegration post Camino. While it’s tough now, take heart that the process will be fluid and ever changing, even when feeling stuck. It’s a helluva paradox for many of us pilgrims. Ten years on from my first...

    The 'Beggar' pilgrim at Pamplona.

    There is such wisdom on this thread. Thank you for the heartwarming accounts. There have been instances when I have given money or other forms of assistance when maybe the person might have been ripping me off. In other words, disguised to look older, injured or so forth. In these moments, I...
