    Second Camino: the lessons I learnt every day

    So Jill, did you do a third Camino? and did you learn something meaningful? I walked three Camino Frances from SJPDP to Muxia/Finisterre in 2013, 2014, and then unexpectedly in 2016 after my daughter died suddenly in October 2015.. I was having trouble with the loss and decided to walk...

    "The Way": shooting locations map

    There are many issues to consider when filming a movie, lighting due to time of day, the best angle to show the best scenery (why they seem to be walking east as opposed to west) and the fit of the content that they filmed (sitting at the albergue in Orisson) sometimes you need to mix scenery...

    Bring extra tips for trekking poles?

    That's alot of kilometres. Be good to your body and give it time to recuperate before your Camino in May (That is when I start as well. May 2nd for Camino #3). A strong body is important but a tired one (especially when you are not sleeping in familiar surroundings every night) can lead to a...

    About to purchase my hiking boots.

    Gideon....Keens are the best for me as well. Two caminos in Keens (newly broken in boots both times). What is important is that your toes have room to move, especially after you've walked a few days and your feet swell and turn into Fred Flintstone feet. Tip...buy your boots a bit...

    I walked from May 1 to June 14. Not too much rain on my days and when it did I stayed at the albergues as long as I could and by 9am the rain ALWAYS pettered off or stopped. I had only one problem with one full albergue in Pamplona, the muni one...but because of the anxiety and my desire to...

    'Race' to secure a bed

    I walked from May 1 to June 14 2012 and the first three days with anxiety from SJPDP. I missed out at the Municipal Albergue in Pamplona by one person. I decided that I did NOT want to have any anxiety associated with worrying about accommodations so I bought a SIM card for my Samsung Android...
