    Anyone need footwear/foot advice?

    Hi all, I'm not quite sure why I havn't thought of this before but better late than never! I'm a veteran of one Camino Frances in summer, one in winter. A Camino Muxia, a Camino Finistere and finally, imminently a Camino Catalan. When I'm not walking the Camino, I lead hikes in the...

    Can anyone identify this fungus!? Muxia to Finisterre path

    Hi there all, I wondered if there were any fungus experts out there on the forums that could positvely identify this strange octopus-like fungus I found growing from the leaf litter last December on the trail between Muxia and Finisterre. I have a passing interest in edible fungus' so know a...

    Anyone seen these dogs recently?

    Hi there everyone, Back in December 2010 I completed my second Camino at Cape Finisterre. As I arrived at the lighthouse in the cold, wintery morning I had company. Not my fellow pilgrim but these two beautiful hounds. They looked cared for, both obviously not short of a bone or two to chew...

    SURREY pilgrims, Woking, Guildford etc

    Hi there all, Im Greg and have recently completed my second Camino and have settled back here in Surrey. The problem with returning to your native country, I find, is losing physical contact with those friends you made along the way and keeping those feelings of camaraderie, support...

    A smoke free Camino :)

    For those who know Europe, and who have visited Spain before may remember that the anti smoking bans and enforced laws that govern smoking bars, restaurants and public places didn't really apply to Spain until now. The UK, France, Germany, Holland and sometimes Italy adhere to a strict no...

    Strikes and disruptions at French airports

    Hola all, I thought that i'd start a topic regarding the troubles in France for anyone heading to the start of their Camino or indeed leaving for home.

    Hola all, Im planning the finer points of my autumn pilgrimage and am wanting to take lightweight stove/burner with me to boil water for hot choc, soups, noodles etc. Now, such burners are very cheap on the internet, a gel burner costs only a few pounds, but my problem is transporting the...
