    Weight loss while doing the Camino?

    I've eaten loads of stuff I wouldn't normally have when at home day to day (bread, chocolate, bread, pastries...) and it's still dropped off but I'm mindful that once I get home and unlikely to be exerting the same amount of energy on such a sustained basis it'll creep back on. However, in...

    Checking Backpacks or Taking as Carry-ons

    Slightly different on return journey I know but I'm flying home with Ryanair on Tuesday and haven't checked my rucksack into the hold but if it's too big for hand luggage then I'll just transfer 'must-takes' to my 20l pal-a-sak and jettison everything else. It is irritating though 'cos I've...

    Finisterra Bus

    Is there a mode of transport from Finisterre to El Coruna please? I only ask because I might get a cheaper flight back to UK from there so may end up tacking on to the coast whilst I'm at it?

    How many rest days did you take & where did you take them?

    Just take them when your body tells you to. You'll also know how long a break you need. Don't necessarily plan them around certain cities etc as nice as it is to grasp an opportunity to sightsee. My "plan" went out the window 1km post-Hunto and I managed to get a bed at Orisson instead of...

    Denise Thiem & US Secretary of State John Kerry

    Posted to John Kerry's Facebook page "Dear Mr Kerry. I am currently on the Camino Frances and keen to receive news of missing Camino pilgrim and American citizen Denise Thiem who has been missing since early April this year. I understand that you will be visiting Madrid shortly and it would be...

    Back Home

    Well done You on completing your camino and at your own pace. After all, it's meant to be a journey not a race and to quote 2 favourites of mine: "I did it my way" and "you can go your own way" - and by the sounds of it you did just that which is commendable. I soon tired of the great albergue...

    What is the most you have walked in a day?

    My distances have varied but the lowest I've done is 13 and the highest (unintentionally) was 34 but only because I missed San Bol thinking it was a village not a standalone albergue! That said, my "longest" journey in terms of effort was the no-mans land from Carrion to Calzadilla. I left...

    Warning: Improper behavior reported between Astorga and Rabanal

    I think in essence your suggestion is reasonable but I'd be loathe to have my phone out on display as some types (I-phones etc) are attractive to any ner-do-wells with theft in mind. The simplest thing would be to link up with someone - it's highly unlikely such a request would be rebuffed in...

    Warning: Improper behavior reported between Astorga and Rabanal

    Hi all, currently overnighting at the Caldazilla albergue so will be in/around Astorga in a few days time but have taken heed of the warning (thank you Ivar) and will be vigilant because although I am a female approaching my 50th year who prefers to walk alone and am not, by nature, a fearful...

    Thank you!

    :rolleyes::):):) Ha! Yes, I've become uber vigilant where my pocket zips are concerned. Also glad that my fortuitous tale brought a little sunshine for others too.

    Thank you!

    I just wanted to say a very heartfelt "Thank You" to the kind person who handed in the €75 that fell out of my unzipped pocket in the garden of the albergue municipale (Padres Reparadores) in Puente La Reine on Tuesday evening (05May15). I've no idea of their name or where they were from as they...
