    September Starters

    thinking of all you September starters and wishing I could be with you. However, I can at least wear a pair of shoes now and have even walked around town without the aid of a crutch so I'm making steady, if slow, progress! Give St James a hug for me when you reach him

    September Starters

    hello September starters well, after a discussion with my GP I've had to take the decision not to walk this year. I'm due to fly out a week tomorrow and then walk for 6 - 7 weeks however he feels that due to the nature and position of the break I shall still be in pain for the majority, if not...

    St. Jean beginning of September?

    Currently I'm booked in for both 30th and 31st Aug with a start date of 1st Sept, still not sure what will happen as I'm due to fly out 4 weeks on Sunday but as yet can't get a shoe/boot/sock anywhere near my left foot. There's a part of me that is tempted to fly out anyway in order to see you...

    September Starters

    Thank you, I'm trying to find the silver lining but today that appears to be impossible. Normally I'm a reasonably positive sort of person . . . .

    September Starters

    argh I have a feeling someone has other plans for my Camino this autumn 5 weeks ago I came down with shingles, the blisters have all but gone but I'm still subject to a certain amount of pain and am tired by the afternoon. So I decided to defer a decision until the end of July. Then 3 weeks...

    September Starters

    September 4th is my birthday and I hope to be walking into Pamplona that day having left St Jean on the 1st, still doesn't seem real

    Spanish sim cards

    I'm bringing an unlocked mobile to Spain so that I can simply insert a Spanish sim card and be up and running. I don't intend to use it often but, being a mum, I need to be contactable. Does anyone have any suggestions re a good card to go for? I seem to remember, in the dim and distant forum...

    Class of 2009

    Suzie - the big 5 0 seems to be one of those milestones! I was due to walk last September for exactly the same reason and had made a good friend through this Forum who was starting on the same date also about to be 50. My first Camino lesson proved to be 'all good plans....'. I was deeply...

    Plus Size Gal - Would like Backpack and Clothing Advice

    what a great thread! I'm off to read it at length and in great detail, then I'm sure I shall have questions (and maybe some answers) of my own I chose an Osprey Aura 35, medium fit, and it feels very comfortable. But it took me ages to find the right pack and many trips to the outdoor shop for...

    TerryB is on his way! He left the West Door of the cathedral in Exeter at 9 a.m and I walked with him as he crossed the medieval bridge out of the city. Photos to follow. ETA: The Bishop gave Terry a pilgrim blessing following Communion at 8 a.m. It was very special to be there

    Irish President walks the Camino

    I'm glad she walked. I'm glad that so many people walk, it may make the CF crowded during the summer months but there are other routes, and months, for those wanting a quieter walk. ETA : Iona is another one of those places that 'calls'. My memories of an all too brief visit there linger 11...

    September Starters

    Andy I had to postpone my Camino last year and am now starting almost exactly 12 months later than I originally intended. It is indeed an odd feeling, I spent a long time thinking, and saying, I SHOULD be doing so-and-so now, or I OUGHT to be walking into such-and-such a place by now. It took me...

    Irish President walks the Camino

    I don't normally jump into these threads but what happened to 'everyone walks their own camino'? Who is to say that, like so many of us, she wasn't drawn to walk for a reason that she didn't fully understand? When that need hits resistance is futile and if this was an available opportunity...

    Re: Introduction I'll see you there, I guess you'll be the only pilgrim leaving the Cathedral so fairly easily recognisable :)
