    Videos and books for the Camino Frances

    This has been covered many times over the recent years on this forum. And I would welcome your suggestions for other videos and books and the reasons for them. Anyway I thought I would contribute my tuppence-happoth's worth. Why? It was prompted by a recent video posted on this site by Ivar...

    Coincidence, synchronicity or a message?

    If things had gone to plan in only a few days from I would have been starting my first Camino. As I have written elsewhere illness, injury and medical advice disrupted and made me postpone those plans for a year. Still in recovery from my latest bout with the medics I, yesterday, went...

    Rest days, shops shut and weekends on the CF

    Does this make sense for a slow start to avoid burn-out?

    When I start walking from SJPdP next Spring I am anxious to avoid "burn-out" by not over-doing it in the first few days. Is the following projected schedule excessively cautious or does it make sense it terms of building up strength, speed and endurance for the remainder of the Camino? Bear in...

    My packing list for Spring/Summer 2015

    This is my list as of the present: Any thoughts? I have not at this stage included things like Swiss Army Knife (for Vino Collapso, salchicha, queso etc) or ablution kit and of course the obligatory pebble (already in backpack) and credencial. I will, of course, take my own medications as well...

    A Pilgrim's Way

    Gerard, the poet and lyrical wordsmith, after I had posted this poem in his thread "There Once Was Three Pilgrims" and referenced it in his earlier posting of his storming of the castellations of Torres del Rio, suggested I should give this Rudyard Kipling poem its own thread. So here it is...
