Hey Everyone,
Its been a long hurtful series of years for a lot of people and Myself. So I decided a week ago I need to be alone, in constant pain, at the mercy of the weather and the road. Mostly I need to be in my head for a while and I can think of nothing better than a Camino.
I really...
So a long long time a go a young naive boy who had never left his country or had even heard of a "stage map" walked the Camino Frances! He met wonder full people! Stamped sellos on his calves and compestella while walking across Spain. He routinely ate his fill of ham cheese bocadillos and...
Hey Everyone,
So I completed Camino Frances in May this year, undeniably the best collection of experiences in my life to date! People, places and architecture astounded me my only regret is not being unable to talk to people! All the Spanish I could speak would have fitted on the back of a...

Well according to the weather monitor it looks like I'm flying to Tasmania, not France in spring. Hows the lay of the land can anyone give me a heads up if I need to pack snow shovel and a hoodie?
Its a funny feeling when your bag is packed (and under 10kg!) most of your major bookings are done and you have just exchanged your money for euro's.
I don't know if its a feeling of excitement or the fact that i resemble a piñata with my back pack and money stash... Either way I can't wait to...
If so... did you want to hang around in Paris one night then head to SJPDP?
I may have cross tracked myself on the trains and i may be in Paris for one night... only :P
I guess this is the curse of a well organised transport system! Options!
Ok so I was going to wing it, arrive off the Plane all jet lagged and awesome in Charles Du Gaulle clear customs in 2 hours or so and hop on the next train south! Alas I listened to a friend who now has given me mental...
Pardon the innuendo but seriously it sounded reasonable in my head...
So i'm down to my final month!!!! a have a ton of gear all kitted up minus my kilt and well no where to put it all my camino stuff! So being the "tight" person, half Scottish* from a long line of savers ... well hang on let...
Er... i know that reads like a bad pickup line, I feel so ashamed. Please don't blame me for the title it seemed appropriate.
Anyway I was thinking of passing the idea around of a meet up for those who are going like me & most hopeful souls and those who have been, so those who have the...
Hi,
So using a Camino planner to get a plan of places to stay and my major question is in April is pre booking of accommodation essential?
Or is it early enough in the season and quiet enough so i can not really worry too much and just walk?
yeah i'm a little to casual at times.
buen...
hey,
I've done this a couple of times lounging around after a trek reading & sleeping overnight in a hammock and but its only mentioned in passing in a couple of threads.
so i'm guessing most people don't approve? or is there a scarcity of trees :lol:
anyway has anyone had any success? I'm...
Hey everyone,
I'm not a pro photographer looking for a " chorus of angels miracle shot" if it happens it happens but inorder for it to happen I need to buy film along the way. I'm worried about weight, packing space in a bag and the fact I really don't want to have to carry 50 or so rolls of...
So yeah, hello...
