    Death of a German pilgrim on the Camino Frances

    I'd read recently of the extreme heat in Spain and instantly thought a silent prayer for protection of all pilgrims currently on the Camino. My sympathies go out to his daughter.

    Crisis of confidence

    I am one of those 'lone' travellers, but I learned very early on - if I didn't leave myself open to others, I would miss out on the most amazing stories and experience of others. I suggest you not miss out on this opportunity of a lifetime. Go with an open heart; I feel certain you will not...

    Crisis of confidence

    Most everyone in this forum family have been where you are...but how you feel now will likely pale in comparison to how you will feel by not following your heart. Buen Camino

    Camino “families” - how cliquey or impenetrable are they mid-way through a Camino?

    I too was there CC, in Sept 2015. What fantastic hosts - then to have the pleasure of Istvan driving us on the alternate route around the Pyrenees to St. Jean. The weather was perfect, the landcape stunning!

    Walking the Camino de Santiago and Planning for the Laugavegur Trail: What to Expect Physically

    Everyone's physical state differs, as does their 'state of well-being'..I walked the Frances for my 80th birthday in 2015 and the reason I cancelled the Portuguese for this, my 86th year, is because of the pandemic we are still in. If it were me, I'd definitely save it for your Iceland...

    Camino “families” - how cliquey or impenetrable are they mid-way through a Camino?

    I am a photographer, so my preference is to walk solo..but I still managed to make many wonderful connections. If I did walk with a group, I wouldn't expect them to stop and wait on me while I photographed a scene. I think it's easier just to take things as the come....

    Cash Is King?

    omg, I've used my chip since they first came out - I had just not heard the term 'contactless' only 'tap'. Thank you!

    Cash Is King?

    I confess to my ignorance ...what is 'contactless'?

    How do people 60-and-over plan their Camino?

    How do people 60-and-over plan their Camino?

    I walked the Camino Frances on my own for my 80th birthday. I would like to suggest you consider this route...simply for the infrastructure and multiple services you might need 'down the road'. You can start the Frances route other than St. Jean Pied de Port...many start from Pamplona. And...

    Waist Packs!

    You are certainly getting some great tips, but is there a chance you could shop locally and try some out? and help a local business? Good luck! And safe travel.

    Pilgrim House Hours 2021

    I can't believe it's been six years since you presented me with that lovely birthday surprise...such heartfelt generosity is never forgotten. Yes, I'm still 'moving' and now considering the CP. So lovely to see you back.

    Getting Small

    Five years, and I still use my Osprey Women's Kyte 30l. I may be wrong but I think women probably pack more items than men do. At least that's what I observed on the Camino and the Great Glen way in Scotland.

    Forum Book Club - 1.4 - The Great Westward Walk (Antxon González Gabarain)

    Ivar's store shows it sold out?

    What was the thing you were most happy to lose on the Camino?

    The only item I lost was a favourite head wrap I used after a shower that went 'missing' from the clothesline in one of the albergues.....small loss to be sure, but disappointing.
