    Which Camino for my 80th year?

    I was also going to walk the Frances again last year for my 80th but Covid put an end to that idea! And this year seems doubtful too BUT with sheer determination, good planning, and being a born optimist and having a profound trust in the fact that if it's meant to be, it will be, sometime I...

    Water pouch and taste

    In 2017 I also used a 2 litre water pouch and found the same chemical taste. In the end I couldn't put up with it any longer and used a water bottle filled with ordinary tap water. No funny taste! I must say that 1. The water in the pouch tasting so dreadful didn't do me any harm and 2. It...

    Frustrated in Roncesvalles

    Yes please do. You have so much to impart to others, so many stories to tell. It would keep many a pilgrim, past, present or future enthralled with all your travels. Buen Camino for your next one Jo King - the Old Dorset Tortoise

    My first-time Camino: a review of the good, the bad, and the cows!

    Agree. You hand wash if there are no mod cons.

    My first-time Camino: a review of the good, the bad, and the cows!

    I agree too. Maybe she has never washed clothes by hand. I had 4 babies before a washing machine. (1960) .

    I think that’s it - Camino Angel

    Dear Guy, I'm so sorry to hear your foot troubles but although one of those wonderful Angels helped you, I do beg you to reconsider exactly where you think you might walk next. I live in Dorset and have seen most of the South West Path - and it is NOT AN EASY WALK. I hope I'm not offending any...

    Snow at O Cebreiro!

    And warm feet!

    Anyone know what these are?

    My guess is : Really old, ultra vintage, chestnut tree trunks hollowed out either naturally with age or as shelters for pilgrims from the strong winds/rain. Well, I've seen old tree trunks similar to these before and used as temporary shelters.

    In Memorium - my boots

    I think the grief also stems from that - the length of time it takes to break-in new boots to get them to the standard of the old ones. - and never a blister at all. Thank you for all the replies. You have consoled an old lady!

    In Memorium - my boots

    It is with profound sadness I announce the demise of my faithful, wonderful boots. Having worn them most days for several monthis prior to walking the Camino, they became like a pair of comfortable old slippers, very precious and homely and, very importantly, part of me. Unfortunately a bit of...
