    I'm new, please forgive me...

    Christie there is nothing stupid about asking a question on a forum where many people may be able to help. I'm planning my Camino from Tanzania, I'll fly to the UK, catch up with friends, sort out my Camino clothes and head to SJPdP by bus and train. I'm sure many people will be able to provide...

    I have a problem

    This is your Camino Ian, do it any way you can, run it, crawl it, hop, carry your bag, use a service. The cheaters are those who are not true to themselves. I start my Camino in September, I've no idea how it will be carrying the bag day in, day out for up to 6 weeks, all I can do is my best and...

    Finding a charity?

    I have been working with walk in love as a volunteer for the past 2.5 years. It was founded by an American friend who I met on another volunteer project.I am not fundraising as such just telling folk what walk in love is about, giving contact details for those who ask. My luxury item in my...

    Sad

    I am the mum of an only child. I have always tried to tell her 'do whatever you feel is right for you'. Hopefully your mum will be treated and in recovery by September. Sending positive thoughts. If you want to carry a bag of bricks or 20 cabbages in memory of loved ones, it is your Camino, no...

    Finding a charity?

    I'll be raising awareness for walk in love, a small not for profit organisation, founded in the USA based in Tanzania. Its aim is to enable families to stay together and, amongst other things, it provides day care for local women enabling them to leave their children in a safe environment whilst...

    Doh! I should have said that I'm walking SJPDP to Santiago de Compostela and, if I'm able, onto the coast

    Mid way point on CF

    This info maybe on the forum somewhere but I can't find it.Is there an 'official' mid way point on the Camino Frances? It would be nice to know when I've got 0.5kms less in front of me than what I've already walked. maybe treat myself to a glass of bubbly in celebration, in my case soda water...

    24L v 55L

    R I don't think that Ryanair have got to Tanzania yet! Seriously, thanks for the advice. All of my packs have a hip belt, one doesn't have a chest belt but this is easily sorted. I can take both to the UK, pack and see how it feels

    Are you pilgrim or walker?

    Sorry Bota, have to disagree. I'll be visiting the churches, sleeping in albergues,attending mass, eating the pilgrims menu, carrying a shell. It's all part of the Camino experience, walker or pilgrim. Although I will be having the odd night in a hostel!

    Are you pilgrim or walker?

    I'm just Dolly, no religious leanings just treat others as you would be treated. I will be making my journey in September, hopefully having great conversations on the way both deep and meaningful and also a bit of fun whilst showing respect for those who want quiet time. Respect to Albertagirl

    Toenail polish question

    Mat Matching socks???? I currently don't posses such items, got plenty of none identical twins-the colour is near enough but the features bear no resemblance

    Toenail polish question

    I'm claiming the colour 'dust' so everyone else will have to choose something else. Dust coloured boots, ankles, backpack, hair etc The colour, of course, will vary according to which part of the Camino I'll be walking. I am so not last year's model. The colour is available until mid September...

    Toenail polish question

    So I should ditch the hair straighteners, eyelash curlers, heated rollers and stiletto shoes? What about my colour co-ordinated everything? If a bit of nail polish keeps a lass happy, go for it. I'm aiming for as light weight as possible whilst being realistic and, relatively, clean

    24L v 55L

    Thanks, most of my Camino gear is in the UK so I can't plan it out here. Will I need a sleeping bag? I was planning on taking a Maasai shuka-light weight and warm with a silk sleeping bag liner. Poncho v rain jacket? My Camino is very much a budget one so don't want to have to buy extra stuff

    24L v 55L

    I've got a 24l jeep backpack with several sections and useful pockets or a 55l gelert. They are the 2 packs I have here in Tz. I want to do some walking with a weighted pack. I'm planning this from Tz but will be in the UK before I go to SJPD Is 24l realistic for Camino starting mid September? I...

    Reserving beds for the first few nights

    Thanks folks, I've just received a PayPal invoice from orisson for €37, I'd better get signed up to PayPal. I'll now check with roncesvalles re paypal. Set off is still a while away but it's becoming real now

    Reserving beds for the first few nights

    How is this done please? I don't want to have to pay international bank charges for such small sums as the charges will be more than the cost of the night's stay. I want to book the initial stay in SJPD then the next 2 nights, after that I'll take what I can get until I'm close to the finishing...
