    2015 SEPTEMBER PILGRIMS

    I now have a revised starting date, Mon 31 August from Pamplona. An ATM ate my credit card, and I'll have to wait until the bank opens on Monday morning to get it back. Maybe this is a Camino lesson in patience!

    2015 SEPTEMBER PILGRIMS

    I'm sure you're right about that, thanks again Mike. I've stopped being scared and gone back to feeling excited again!

    2015 SEPTEMBER PILGRIMS

    Thanks Mike. I've been looking forward to the Camino for so long, but I woke up in the middle of the night feeling terrified! But it's wonderful to see all the support and encouragement from the people here, it really has helped me feel a lot better this morning. I know I'll be fine when I get...

    Hi, I'm leaving from Pamplona on Sunday 30 August. I plan to start slowly with shortish walking distances and build up. Should I be on the September list? Thanks Wendy

    I may never get to Santiago!

    Thank you for your detailed reply marylynn, that's all very helpful. I agree with your idea of not relying on technology too much. I've been thinking of taking the Brierley guidebook to refer to while walking if needed, but will have a look at CaminoGuide.net first. Thanks again!

    I may never get to Santiago!

    Did you find the iPad mini useful, marylynn? I've decided to take mine so that I can access this book and some others including the German 'yellow book', which has recently become available as an e-book - perfect timing for me! I'll always love 'real' books best, but this is a good practical...

    Hi Joanne I'll be starting from Pamplona around 1-2 September, and plan to walk shorter distances at first then gradually increase. So we might meet up! Buen Camino Wendy

    Blister Prevention and Foot Care

    Great advice Robo, thanks for that. Really glad to hear good things about Hikers Wool, as I've got some and plan to take it with me on my first Camino in September. So far I've only had the chance to try it once on a small blister, and it seemed to work very well. Did you use it to prevent...

    Blankets and Bedbugs

    I don't think essential oils are enough prevention on their own, but might help a little as an extra. I'm taking tea tree oil with me as a useful antiseptic anyway, and maybe a bit of lavender oil could sneak into the weight allowance as well!

    Blankets and Bedbugs

    Some interesting suggestions here, using essential oils in various ways, and putting petroleum jelly (Vaseline) on the legs of the bed - has anyone come across that? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ellen-whitehurst/7-holistic-ways-to-keep-y_b_782695.html I'm preparing my gear for my first...

    First Camino, September - October 2015

    I'm another one who should be there in September. I'm leaving from Australia in mid August for Paris, then plan to start the Camino in Pamplona in late August or early September. I want to start with shorter walks at the beginning, gradually building up the distances as my fitness improves - I...
