I was planning to walk the VDLP in Nov but am starting to feel nervous about reading reports of robberies and other incidents to solo female walkers...
I know this will be a quiet time of year and I may not see many other pilgrims but is anyone walking the VDLP in Nov?

I've been on a bit of a push lately to put together some videos of the walks I've done, and the latest one is the Camino Frances (one more to go: Camino Portuguese!)

Hi Everyone,
I walked the Camino Primitivo from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela in October and it was an absolutely stunning walk with spectacular scenery. Challenging mountains, hills, lush green forests, heaps of mushrooms, quaint stone hamlets, the delicacies of Asturias and Galicia, the...
I walked the Camino Ingles in October with beautiful sunny and warm days, it was a lovely camino.

The last 10 days of walking the Primitivo in October, I walked through non-stop heavy rain. I was wearing wet weather pants, an eVent waterproof jacket (waterproof for about an hour)!, and waterproof shoes, but nothing stays dry walking day after day in endless rain. I even resorted to using a...

The albergue in San Juan de Villapanada was almost full last night with a wonderful group of people and there's been some stunning views so far :)

I've recently walked along the Cinque Terre in Italy, and came across a Via della Costa camino arrow :)
The "azzure" blue route between Corniglia, Manarola & Riomaggiore is still closed (due to landslides in 2011), however there is a higher hiking path linking these three towns. (Tough but...

I walked the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage in Japan at the end of last year and have finally uploaded all the details onto my blog here. There's not much information out there about this walk, only one guidebook...

Hi Guys,
I'm starting in SJPP in May and I'm looking for a new pair of sandals for showers, evenings and in the event something happens to my boots, for the trail as well. I have a pair of keen sandals now that I adore, but they're too heavy and they start to smell after a while too.
The guys...
