    Pilgrims of Hope

    I came across this lovely hymn that has been recently released. Moderator, please delete if not appropriate. I find it very soothing and meaningful. The theme is “Pilgrims of Hope”, and it will be a year of hope for a world suffering the impacts of war, the ongoing effects of COVID-19 pandemic...

    Anyone walking the Camino Ingles in the spring?

    We will be walking the Camino Ingles early April and this is our Camino number 6. and have use an excellent company Spainismore a couple of times. We could use albergues, but as a very heavy snorer, countless pilgrims are extremely happy that we don't use albergues. We are also in our 70's.!

    How to cross hazardous streams safely

    All great replies. One thing I was told if the water flow is fast, never turn your back against the flow, as your legs would collapse. Personally, I would be apprehensive in crossing an unknowns water stretch.

    What is Your Marching Music

    When I am going up a rather steep hill, I pray the Holy Rosary and offer my prayers for everyone who is suffering. Each of us have our own approach to big hills. The best advice I was given was on climbing hills.........never look up!

    Please help me identify this old carving

    I would agree that it's St James. I found this post on an auction site which may give you some information. https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/tennants-auctioneers/catalogue-id-srten10987/lot-204958ab-f7b4-4a9e-9d6d-af3a00d262d2?queryId=bb09d4f9ce59a36e384b711707d8d47c

    Walking and Suffering

    Suffering, will make you come through whatever pain a stronger person. Think of the elation you have when you arrive in Santiago. As a Christian, I reflect what Jesus and all the Saints and Martyrs had suffered and try to turn my pain into something positive. Inevitably, whatever pain you are...

    I need help with a picture from the museum

    Not to sure, but it looks like the remnants of a gilded mirror, adapted by placing the sword of St James in the centre.

    Osteoarthritis

    Thanks for your advice. There are a lot of positive comments about Hoka shoes, which up till now, I have never considered. But it may be the time to buy a pair and take them with me along with my Merrell boots.

    Osteoarthritis

    Thank you for that good advice, I have never tried Yoga, but the exercises seem a good idea.

    Osteoarthritis

    Thank you for that helpful advice and well done to you for going for surgery, a long process, but obviously has helped.

    Osteoarthritis

    Because of timescales, unfortunately, it wasn't an option. There is a 33km and a 28 km. They were never an issue before. With all this great advice, from everyone, I feel a lot more confident.

    Osteoarthritis

    I have Capsicum cream under prescription, which helps to mask the pain, also use Superfeet insoles. Thank you for that wonderful information, and hopefully I can plan in advance. Have a great journey on the WHW., the midge season ends in September, so you may be lucky.

    Osteoarthritis

    I wear Merrell walking boots and change them whenever the tread wears away. This year is a shorter walk from Santiago to Finisterre then Muxia over 5 days.

    Osteoarthritis

    Not had them injected yet, but could be an option, although very difficult to see a doctor these days.
