    Unexpected but welcome Camino reminder

    I returned from my last Camino in early July and as usual I find myself yearning for more. Last weekend I was in Worcester, UK and decided to have a look around the cathedral. A pretty amazing place I have to say. I went into the crypt where there was an exhibition. Lo and behold the first...

    Lost & Found Lost radio somewhere between Pereje and Trabadelo

    Hello We are a group of 7 walking the Camino Frances. We have 3 radios to keep contact with each other as we go. We got caught in a terrible storm this afternoon (16 June) and took shelter at which point we realised one of the radios was missing. It is about 5in long and on a carabiner. It is a...

    Wishing everyone well. I am thoughtful, grateful and just a little nervous 😊

    Have the most marvellous time! Buen Camino xxx

    Is it me? (Pilgrim signs are everywhere)

    Oh yes. Definitely a member.

    Is it me? (Pilgrim signs are everywhere)

    Does anyone else feel that they may have opened up an inner channel post-Camino? Or maybe before. I, like many others, felt it calling me to do it. References randomly popping up over the years until finally the opportunity as good as smacked me in the face. I have walked three Caminos and will...

    How the Camino humbles me time after time

    Here I am on a chilly February day, supposedly getting on with 'work' and once again the Camino walks through my mind. Maybe because I know I am going out again this year but possibly also because I marvel at the way it gently changes me every time. I was just thinking how easy it is to judge...

    Where to Find Walking Poles in Leon - Borrowing Options

    Thanks for all the feedback. Contacting some albergues is a great idea. It is interesting that I've come across as male. It's also interesting that the post has prompted discussion on the necessity of walking poles. As we have seen, this is a purely personal choice. Having walked the Camino...

    Where to Find Walking Poles in Leon - Borrowing Options

    Thank you. Normally I would do this but the problem is that I am accompanying a group of young people. The group organiser wants us to leave the airport smartish to catch the train to Leon. They say I can check in the poles if I want to. But I don't want to hold everyone up waiting for baggage...

    Where to Find Walking Poles in Leon - Borrowing Options

    Alas they are not taking any. Youth of today and all that. Whereas I would not dream of doing it pole-less.

    Where to Find Walking Poles in Leon - Borrowing Options

    It is Easyjet and as far as I know you can't have walking poles in carry on packs. I've flown with Ryanair and you definitely couldn't with them.

    Where to Find Walking Poles in Leon - Borrowing Options

    I'm joining a group aiming to walk Leon to Santiago in June. Everyone is taking carry-on luggage so I can't take my poles. I already own two sets because I bought a pair in Decathlon Porto for exactly the same reason on my first Camino. I don't really want to buy another set. But what are the...

    When the Camino comes a-knockin'...

    Buen Camino! It is so liberating isn't it?
  14. LongRun64

    When the Camino comes a-knockin'...

    Yes that's a good point. I probably would look into the available apps to see if any appealed.

    When the Camino comes a-knockin'...

    The Camino is on my mind. Not quite sure whether I'm reflecting on past ones or planning a new one. Maybe both. Anyway I'm sitting here nibbling turron and wavering between reading Ivar's Most Read Topics Yesterday on the Camino Forum and reading my new book on someone's pilgrimage. So it looks...

    When the Camino speaks

    One of my favourite things about the Camino is its sense of humour. I was on the Camino Frances heading towards Boadilla de Camino. The past two days had been fairly horrendous with the lack of beds resulting in 30k days. And here I was in yet another 30-35k day situation. I was feeling very...

    Alternative POV

    Certainly you may.
  18. LongRun64

    Alternative POV

    Yes you make an interesting point there. I did think that actually. Which also makes me think about how differently some people perceive a female leaving a partner at home as regards to a male. My husband was quite insulted at the number of people asking him how he was managing without me. Not...
  19. LongRun64

    Alternative POV

    Well initially I was very quick to deny it. Pointing out that my Camino was a very personal choice that my husband did not share at this time. That I had saved for it and was living frugally intentionally so to stay in my budget. That our relationship was such that we were fully supportive of...

    Alternative POV

    It is very interesting to read your thoughts. Like you I did wonder what his own personal relationship was like. Also like many of you I am of the opinion that marriage does not mean losing yourself as an individual. But it was still a perspective that I had never considered. I don't think he...
