    I'm Worried about Walking with my Wife !

    Lots of great perspectives. Here is mine: if my husband and I went together we both jokingly say there would be a crime scene!!! I just got back from 6 weeks on the Camino Frances and agree with previous comments that for me the experience could only be done solo. I saw many couples together -...

    It doesn't seem real

    Your post is timely for myself as I am experiencing the exact same emotions! And yes I am normally quite confident. Our paths may cross as I am on a similar timeline and giving myself all the time I need and having just crossed the "55" year line my body will need the time. Cheers

    September pilgrims, first aid & disasters!

    kt tape

    I have been "training" and today the weight of the full pack started to cause slight pain in my knee and I am leaving in 20 days! As a 55 year old with a relatively newly minted knee replacement I loved reading your post which gives me hope and I especially enjoy your turn of phrase. I have...

    Apprehensive now with a tinge of "uh oh"

    Safety on the Le Puy

    A very reasonable and fair enquiry in light of events. I cannot help as I simply do not know but I like to hope that throughout this fantastic forum questions can be taken at face value without trying to second guess intent. Thanks!
