I was worried about my 19 year old son and his friends as they were walking from St. Jean to Santiago de Compostela and they had only left high school last year. Thanks to all of your help and support, not only did they do their...

    Fellow pilgrims stealing belongings on the Camino - it happens

    My son has had a t-shirt stolen and a microfibre towel. No he didn't lose them - they were taken from his bunk. The towel was taken today at his albergue in Burgos and the t-shirt a few days ago (and he loved that shirt). It's petty and very sad that people feel they can steal others' belongings...

    My son on the Camino - a live update from mum in Australia

    Hi - I've had a few people ask me if I can post some updates on how Jack and his friends are getting along so rather than tack onto the beginning thread from SJPDP, I'll just post a few lines each day when he contacts me. Today the overnight stop was Uterga. They left Pamplona and crossed the...

    My 19 year old has started! He walked SJPDP to Roncesvalles today

    Hi - I'm Kathy whom you all kindly reassured a few weeks ago when I was worried about my son. Just a quick update - he crossed the Pyrennes today from SJPDP and is now sleeping in Ronscevalles. He's pretty worn out (he defined it as 'my body is broken' lol). Thanks for all your thoughts and...
