    Walking a camino after knee replacement

    I had my meniscus surgery around 18 years ago, and have walked many thousand kilometres since then. I know a lot about walking with pain, but a few weeks ago my right knee more or less collapsed - and now the orthopedic surgeon says I'm ready for a knee replacement, which I will get in October...

    Information about Pieterpad?

    Has anyone here walked the Pieterpad in the Netherlands? I have found a Dutch-only website, but would really like personal information, recommendations, walking distances...

    Camino del Estrecho

    Has anyone walked Camino del Estrecho, from Algeciras to Puerto Real (on the Augusta)? I found a little information on Mundicamino, but I haven't seen much here...

    Ferrol - Santiago - Finisterre - Muxia Easter 2022

    Finally I get to walk a proper Camino again - and yes, it was OK walking from Oslo to Trondheim, but I much prefer Caminos with a three-course Spanish lunch in the middle. Spoilt, that's what I am... My husband and I usually walk in Spain at Easter, and have been missing it desperately for the...

    Dombås - Trondheim, Norway - because Fokstugu opens too late

    It is now less than a month until our departure. Today I printed all the reservations (we have to walk short distances, so having reservations everywhere is safer than just starting and risking having to walk longer than planned). Our first day, June 19th, we'll take the train from Oslo to...

    Borgleden, Norway

    We still can't travel (unless we want to be almost criminally negligent), but walks within our own country are OK. Since Easter is late this year, I have made one of my little spreadsheets for Borgleden, walking from quite close to the Swedish border to Oslo. If the snow melts in time, that's...

    Oslo - Lillehammer, Norway - June 20, 2020

    We are all sorted now, except for the pilgrim passports - and are planning to pick them up here in Oslo this week. There will be three of us, my husband, me and our 24-year-old son. We old ones are going for comfort and luxury (=sleeping indoors, with accessible water and electricity), once...

    Removing Compeed from woolen socks

    Some of my favourite socks have old Compeed stuck on the inside. Does anyone have a good method of removing the sticky stuff?

    Granada to Córdoba in December?

    My student son says he'd like to walk with me again this winter - after his exams are over. Since we had such a good time walking from Cádiz to Sevilla last year (do not remind me of blisters and viscious dogs, please), I was thinking that this might be a good stretch. Any advice...

    Another piece of the Camino de Levante...

    Over New Year's in 2015-16 we walked from Valencia to Chinchilla del Montearagón. I have just started plotting about the next little stretch - Chinchilla to Mota del Cuervo, which will be eminently doable in the little time my husband has off from work the first week of October - 2019. If he...

    Travel from Alcala del Júcar to Alicante

    We have to go home after today’s walk. Can anyone with a better internet connection or local knowledge suggests a way to get from A to B on Saturday?

    Considering the first stretch of Camino de la Lana over New Year's

    My teacher husband has discovered that he doesn't have to be back at school until January 4th. Since we enjoyed our New Year's week walking the Levante from Valencia a few years ago, just starting the Camino de la Lana looks like a very good idea. Besides, New Year's Eve in Spain is fun - grapes...

    Via Augusta in December!

    My 22-year-old son and I will be walking Via Augusta in December! We have return flights to Málaga December 12th - 21st, and this looks like a nice chance to spend some time together, practice Spanish and eat really well. And buy Jamón and turrón to take home for Christmas.

    Finally finishing our Camino Portogues

    Next weekend my husband and I will take the train from Lisbon to Coimbra, and then take the bus to Conimbriga, where we stopped walking in February last year. We'll walk to Porto, where we started walking with with our son in March 2013. When we get to Porto, I will consider our Camino...

    Finishing the Madrid route at Easter 2017

    In 2015 I dragged my husband (OK, only slight exaggeration) from Madrid to Valdestillas. My husband does want to walk, but his regular life rarely gives him much time for exercise. The man claims he is happy that I drag him on caminos as often as possible, so I will continue ensuring that we...

    Narón and Neda - not the shortest way to Pontedeume?

    I've been looking at Google maps, walking Ferrol - Pontedeume is A LOT shorter than passing via either. 14.5 km, as opposed to the approximately 29 km Johnny Walker's guide lists. What gives? Are Neda and Náron just such beautiful places that they've been added to the route for scenic reasons...

    10 - 12 winter days outside Spain?

    We've got some days off in late February, and would like to practice another language for a change. (Don't worry, Madrid tickets for Easter already booked!) Anywhere nice, not too hilly? Doesn't have to be very "pilgrimy", hotels are fine, and we don't need company on the route, but would like...
