    LIVE from the Camino Via de la Plata + Sanabres + Fin/Muxia from Seville (Feb/Mar 2022)

    Pawel your posts have been most helpful in my planning. I should have walked the Vdlp last year but a hip replacement put a stop to that idea. Now I must go after Easter as at 84 I may not have the energy in a year or two. I hope to meet many of you on the way but do not feel embarrassed if you...

    New member - leaving in late March 2022

    As pelegrino EV Waight says work does get in the way of more important things. One of the things that I regret most is that I did not walk my first Camino until I was 77. happily I have remained reasonably fit and walked almost every year since 2015. Unfortunately I had to have a hip replacement...

    Gerard, Having read your post I realize my problems are quite insignificant. I hope the use of CBD will relieve your pain. Best wishes Dave

    Walking After hip Replacement

    It is great to hear all the positive remarks. I have a hip replacement coming up in a few weeks. Perhaps my wishful thinking of walking next spring might happen - assuming a good recovery. Thanks for the reassurance Buen Camino Dave

    Backpack indecision help!

    I am only 83 so I do not have as much experience as others but I found the Lo Alpine 30 as a perfect pack big enough for a 6 week trip and the airzone means no sweaty back. Try it Buen camino

    Advice on starting VdlP

    Hi Dodger, I would have replied quicker but I had a senior moment and forgot my password. We will be starting about the same time; I am sure we will meet somewhere along the route. You are bound to pass me as I go quite slowly. Buen Camino Dave

    Advice on starting VdlP

    Thanks Kanga and Murraydv , I know everything depends on Covid and there may be more at Seville around Easter with its festivities. If things quieten down perhaps on the road a few days before Easter would be good.

    Advice on starting VdlP

    I hope to walk the VdlP next year. Assuming no adverse problems should I start in March or delay until after Easter. My initial thoughts are for the later date as the route is not so popular and more albergues might be open in April. Any advice most welcome and thanks in advance. Dave W96 (...

    Recent thoughts on walking in September during Covid

    To go or not has to be only your decision but do not get too stressed in the process. I am in the age group where my friends have started to fall off their perches. I feel I still have a couple of Caminos in the tank and with no apparent heath problems I consulted the family. My son a surgeon...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Do you still feel like walking?

    All adventures have risks as does life itself. Do the risk assessment based on all the information available and then decide. At the present time I would stay at home but I now plan to go in September if the situation does not deteriorate.
