    Recommendations to get me outside of my comfort zone

    Thank you all for your replies. I took a dive into past threads and posts to test the waters of tolerance and it appears that there are a multitude of gripes around dormitory living from open or closed windows to rustling bags to lavender sprays to lights, snoring etc etc so tolerance may be an...

    Recommendations to get me outside of my comfort zone

    Seeking recommendations for bookable albergues between Roncesvalles and Pamplona approximately 15 20 km apart that will give me an inkling of what albergue “living” is like to see whether or not I can hack it. Reason : I am a 24 carat introvert who is far more comfortable in his own skin than...

    Pilgrim in spirit?

    Not being able to read Spanish or French without the help of google translate I missed that. Like you I would have ignored it without a moment's thought or concern. I am afraid I cannot agree with your interpretation of of " in an attitude of search " as it excludes the non believer / atheist or...

    Pilgrim in spirit?

    Kudos to the OP in starting such thought provoking thread. In my later years I consciously try not to pass judgement on others (judge not lest ye be judged ) Rules however have to be followed. The discussion that has developed around what is a pilgrim and when is a pilgrim not a pilgrim I find...

    Recommendations for rest days, accommodation, and booking ahead

    Many thanks for all your responses and recommendations Pontevedra is a strong possibility I suppose rest days will be linked to what I can do daily as opposed to what I think I can do underestimating oneself is a nice way to get an ego boost when you succeed Sean

    All of a sudden no motivation to start the camino

    Read this post and thought well I am not alone. After 500miles of training planning booking flights to Porto I find that my own motivation has disappered up its own gazunda. Now this could be an effect on the chronic insomnia I am undergoing or an an effect of over planning. Now I am either too...

    Heel Spurs and Micro Tears and More oh My! Update #2 plus the unthinkable

    No judgement was intended however if you wish to interpret it as such it’s your prerogative. I am however surprised that a disabled person did not choose thier words more carefully eg “the person” in the wheelchair to remove such objectification from everyday use.. Excuse my typo earlier...

    Heel Spurs and Micro Tears and More oh My! Update #2 plus the unthinkable

    Interesting choice of words “one of the wheelchairs spoke” while I don’t know if the wheelchair user was disabled or injured it lends credence to the disabled opinion that a led bodied people see the chair and not the person sitting in it.
