    From O Cebreiro to Santiago - Weather Oct-Nov

    I walked OC to SDC from Oct 22 until Oct 26. Rained every day. On the 26th the forecast was for 54mm and I think we got it 😂. It was elemental and we took the view that it was Galicia at its raw Celtic best. There were places that were slippery and places where the water came over the boots, but...

    From O Cebreiro to Santiago - Weather Oct-Nov

    I read somewhere that non waterproof shoes at least allow the water back out 😁. If Galicia comes for you, you’re going to get wet, down to your bones. But you know, it’s not that bad. Go for what feels right.😁

    Hello! Can anybody give me advice to help plan a very last minute, first time Camino?

    I’d say for season/weather/knee/infrastructure, the Frances sounds best. Skip the Pyrenees and start at Pamplona - take it steady and enjoy the lovely walks as far as you feel comfortable.

    Stamps- missing a few days

    @Sssnek Woohoo! Great work. We finished on Friday, and I take your point on the Credencial. Inside a plastic bag, inside a dry bag, inside a pack, under a cover. 🌨️

    LIVE from the Camino CF trip report

    Wow! Nearly there. Fantastic work. Through blazing sun, pouring rain and howling winds. What a thing. Enjoy these final days. i know, that having finished on Friday, sure I had some positive feelings, but mostly there’s a melancholia, an emptiness, a sadness. I’ve read this is not unusual, as I...

    From O Cebreiro to Santiago - Weather Oct-Nov

    My advice would be… 1. Yes, it’s autumn, but you can (with a torch) get off early. It makes you feels so much better to be on the go as the sun rises. 2. You are going to get wet. (Like you do every day in the shower). It’s not the end of the world. Keep smiling, keep laughing. This is the real...

    From O Cebreiro to Santiago - Weather Oct-Nov

    Hey there. My friend and I just walked the same route in five days. It’s wet, it’s challenging, but it’s doable.

    Good morning Marska - I hope that you are feeling better this morning.

    Finisterre -it’s raining cats and dogs- should I just sleep in?

    Maybe too late - but...it's only water. The wonderful scenery that you have enjoyed is a consequence of the rain. Embrace it! (Or go for a cup of hot chocolate ☕️)

    Camino in late October/early November?

    I think Ivar - who operates this forum, stores bags in SDC.

    OCTOBER 2023 Start – Check in here!

    What Ho! Starting from O Cebreiro on Sunday 22nd of October. My friend Stu and I hope to complete our stroll on Thursday 26th. We started in 2016, from SJDP, planning a week a year for five years, and reached O Cebreiro on Friday the thirteenth of September 2019. Covid intervened, and now we're...

    Extra pillows logic problem

    Hey @Lhollo - That sounds a drag! Have you actually spoken to the hotels? On the phone? Could it be that they haven't grasped the medical nature of your request? I feel certain that every place I stayed would certainly try their best to resolve such a thing - but it might be a struggle to make...

    Remote working from the Camino Frances

    Hey SantiagoCruzB Sounds tricky. Connectivity on hotel wifi is really patchy and variable. Getting a good SIM might serve you better. In that way - most places (but not all) you should be OK for a spot of Zoom or Teams. Heck, I'd love to talk to someone who was walking the camino as we chatted...

    Another newbie

    Don’t know your route, but I’m sure you’ll have a great time. Buen Camino!

    Pilgrim behaviour in albergues

    Each to their own, I suppose. I’m sure the hand shandy stuff would have amused me, but then I’m a big guy and not much is going to worry me. I would have laughed loudly and asked everyone else to come watch. Bed races? Only a race if you race. I guess we can only try to be considerate of...

    Eating and sleeping on the Camino

    Hey Andrew. Personally, after a long day’s walk, there is rarely any problem sleeping. If there is, I recommend a glass of wine. (Repeat as necessary) Likewise, coming off a day’s walking, you will find food. I know it will sound weird, but truly, start, and walk. The rest will become clear.

    The Frontrow, back on Camino

    What Ho! Tomorrow, I’m flying into Bilbao, meeting the tight head then bussing down to Logrono, where we’ll pick up the hooker. (Trust me, these are rugby terms) On Wednesday morning we will get a bus to Los Arcos, where we finished last year and then walk back to Logrono. Six days should get...

    This is a very Negative Post. A Vent.

    Hey Annie - some bad stuff there. Sometimes worth getting it out. I suspect the Camino spirit is still out there. Take a deep breath. Ultreia
