    It's been a year since I walked from St. Jean to Santiago. Here is a video I put together if you would like to check it out. I still think of my experience almost daily. This forum was such an incredible blessing helping me to get ready and great tips on how to prepare. I flew to Spain alone...

    LIVE from the Camino 1st week on Camino Francis May 2016

    I am one week into my Camino - staying in Estella at the monestary. Wow what A challenge this has been thus far. Not only physically but just working through all the anxiety and fears of trying to figure out where I am, what I'm doing, and how to get what I need. This has proved to be a bit...

    Sleeves

    Wanted to check out my new "sleeves" on an early morning hike to see if they keep the chill off. They did great! and when I started to warm up I just pulled them off while I kept walking (and if it gets chilly or windy I can just slip them back on.) It was a beautiful day for a 14 mile hike...

    Feeling rather irritated....

    I never thought of myself as an over-controlling person or one who tries to complicate the heck out of situations...this journey I'm about to take may prove that to be a false view of self. (taking my 1st camino May/June of 2016) I have worried, fussed over, fretted, been fearful, anxious, and...

    I am trying to figure out if I actually need to bring a lightweight sheet or material treated with permethrin to cover the mattresses as a deterrent for those dreadful bedbugs?

    Lessons learned during a week of training

    I was fortunate that my work schedule was such that I had 4 consecutive days off in a row and so I decided I would like to try and do a 15 mile/24 kilometer hike each day, just to see what it would feel like doing them back to back. Also there was going to be a significant mixture wind, rain and...
