    Planning ahead

    After completing our Camino (STPDP to SDC) in 2009 it has been with us every day. At the end we were sore, tired and spent. Our final 3 days at Santiago saw the circles become complete as we caught up at various stages with all our friends made along the way (some who had arrived before us and...

    Credencial

    Hi all Thought it worth noting that my wife and my have 'found' our credentials. After being convinced they were gone this has been great news for us and we now have taken copies and put the originals behind glass and hung on the wall.

    How many Km/day?

    The guidebook is just that. Only be guided by it. Don't let it rule our experience. I suggest you do what you want each day. My wife and I tried to follow the guidebook but after 7 days made the decision to reduce our daily k's each day to about 15 to 20. This immediately improved our aches...

    My wife and I completed our first Camino SJPP to SDC in May andJune of 2009. The experience changed our lives and has inspired us onto many more adventure experiences since. We hope to complete the Le Puy to SDC in 2018 or 2019 health and finances permitting. We recently moved house and have...

    Walking poles or not

    I used walking poles in 2009 on Camino but also on a variety of other walks over the years including long distance non stop charity walks and wilderness overnighters. I find them fantastic in taking some of the pressure off my knees on downhill, help me keep balance when on rough terrain and...

    Deuter Back Packs

    I guess everyone needs to find their own preference. We have walked in many countries and thousands of kilometres including the CF in 2009 with our Deuter 32 as described with the ventilation gap and can't speak highly enough. We will be using them again in 2014 as well. As many have said in...

    Anyone training for the Camino in Melbourne?

    Ok pilgrims Seems there is some interest in a get together walk so I am suggesting for those that want to meet, a short (about 15 k) walk this coming Sunday. Meeting point is the cafe on the esplanade opposite the end of Pickles street Port Melbourne at 9 am. I suggest we take a slow walk...

    Anyone training for the Camino in Melbourne?

    Watch out for snakes on that Kilcunda walk. It's great but lots of long grass I recall. Especially this time of year. Have a great time on the island. Ian

    Anyone training for the Camino in Melbourne?

    There is a good circuit walk in the Werribee Gorge state park (entry just past Bacchus Marsh on the Western Highway) It's about 10 to 12 k's but has all sorts of terrain and surfaces. Plus it's far more picturesque than most people imagine. We have seen koalas, wallabies and a lot of bird...

    You know you are a seasoned pilgrim, when you

    So true. Sometimes I feel my whole being relax as I begin walking (anywhere). Then when I arrive my body starts urging me to move on down the next path
