    Map resources - European Peace Walk

    I walked the EPW year. I did use maps.me on a couple of occasions when I was unsure as to my whereabouts and at those times was walking by myself. I have not checked the EPW website for next year's walk. This year the Guide instructions were only made available just before you left. In my case...

    Following the gleam once again

    Ah Margaret I pray that you improve and that one day you can walk this again. Today I have shed tears for you and feel so saddened in my very being. Keeping you in my prayers and thoughts. I walked because of you and the spirit that came via you and your blogs over many years.

    Following the gleam once again

    Ah you walk again Margaret! Know that I walk with you in spirit. I've read every post in your blogs over the years. Truly inspiring. I'll be back to walk from Le Puy next year. I have just arrived back home after walking the long, arduous European Peace Walk during the hottest summer on...

    How do people 60-and-over plan their Camino?

    Treat that "pack horse" well Lachance. Check the pack and chuck out some of the stuff. Make it as light as you can and I am sure that "pack horse" will be your friend. Buen camino

    I want to walk the camino at a slower pace than Brierley suggests.

    Welcome Normita, You can certainly walk at any pace that you choose. Listen to your body and walk as far as you want to each day. You will never be far from accommodation of some sort. It pays to have some idea of where accommodation might be though. I am a meanderer and get easily distracted...

    Drying clothes in cold weather

    Try www.snowgum.com.au I bought very lightweight 100% merino t-shirts from them? Brilliantly and dry in no time. Also come in some great colours and also short and long sleeved. Best decision I made when purchasing gear. Travel well

    Comment by 'Cejanus' in media 'Meet two old pilgrims. Al and Mikel.'

    Good mates, good friends, good walking, good life. Sure looks like you two would certainly have a lot of laughs and fun.

    FAQs on the "European Peace Walk"

    Starting this fascinating walk on 18th August. Anyone else starting on that day? Also taking a small "carry on board" case with some more acceptable clothes for the few extra days I'll need to travel from Trieste to Amsterdam. I am posting the case from Vienna to Trieste in Italy. I will put...

    Hey Daniel, Thanks for sharing these precious pics. They give me a very good idea of what I will see as I walk around about the same time as you did. I feel inspired and just want to get going now.

    ATM card for Aussies

    Hi Lyndal, I used the CBA Travel Card and on occasions there was no charge. I just checked my statement and noticed that on a couple of occasions the charge was $2.00. I did have one experience where the charge was going to be really exorbitant (it is displayed on the screen before Iconfirmed...

    Robbery on the VdlP? What kind of protection?

    Ah but how fast and far can I run! Not very far these days as my 10 grandchildren can all outrun me and it wasn't that long ago that I could be faster than the lot of them.

    Via de la Plata or Frances?

    I'd ask myself the question: "Why do I want to walk the Camino?" Then do some research and make a decision on the answer you find? There are lots of camino to choose from and of course they are all quite different.

    What is the accommodation like? Are they big dormitories, or smaller rooms. What would be the maximum number of people in one room and also the minimum number in a room? I am just trying to work out what type of ear plugs I will need? Also what happens if for some reason I have to take a day...

    New Year. Day one. Start Counting everyone!

    Oh dear I have been counting but not the days. I counted 23 000 plus steps yesterday as I trekked 19km to toughen up my feet once again. My mind is counting through the many things I must do before I leave the 10 grandchildren behind. And that falling Australian dollar has me recounting too...

    Via de la plata- Hard Map?

    Hello "cloosh" I have found the Apple App "VDLP" by Melanie McManus extremely helpful in planing for the Via de la Plata. I know that it sometimes difficult to read the phone screen in the strong daylight. Its a good app and it is fairly up to date. What I liked about it was that it has...
