    What do pilgrims actually DO during their journey to Santiag

    There is the outer journey (walking, cycling or riding) and the necessities (food, drink, shelter, footcare) and opportunities (sights to see, people to meet) that arise from it. I think that most pilgrims are also using the opportunity of the change from their regular routine and the pressures...

    Latin translation....

    The first time I went, I think I got assigned something like Wulfram; this year I persuaded them to use Lupum (or, at least explained that my name meant 'wolf' or 'lupus' in Latin). Blessings on the people who work in that office during the summer; it must be a pretty tiring days work with a...

    Albergues filling up

    Has the total number of pilgrims picked up? I remember a month or so ago that someone (probably you or Peter) published a link to an article showing that the number was down compared to last year. Wulf

    Have backpack, NEED INTERNET, *might* travel!

    I think you would miss out on a lot of the typical pilgrim experience if you were trying to travel the route and keep up with your day job. Rather than being able to relax and recover at the end of the day, enjoying the company of fellow travellers or spending time on your own to reflect on the...

    Sarria questions

    Don't worry about seeing the cathedral early if you take a route via Santiago. I'm amazed how far you have to walk through the outskirts of town on the final part of the route to even get a glimpse of the towers! If you fly to the airport, get the shuttle bus to bus station and then hop on a...

    Driest since 1978

    My team enjoyed a little bit of rain and overcast weather in Galicia last week - certainly preferable to the heatwave London was experiencing! Perhaps the best compromise light waterproofs? :) I understand that Spain as a whole is hurting for lack of rain through - even more so than SE...

    Its time to pack

    Santiago is a beautiful city... at least, it's beautiful once you get to the centre - the last few km from Monte de Gozo and through the outskirts were somewhat mundane (although, if you are of a spiritual bent, I guess you could see it as a reminder to walk by faith, not by sight!). You...

    Its time to pack

    I would certainly like to do it again or do some other long distance walks. I'll probably give the last 100 miles of the Camino Frances a break for a while but might try an earlier section or a different route (one idea that appeals is starting in Santiago and walking to Finisterre and perhaps...

    Its time to pack

    It was my second year, over the same route. The walking isn't too difficult from Sarria to Santiago, although pleasant enough. My favourite section is stetch just before that, from O'Cebreiro through to Sarria, but there are plenty of interesting areas ahead of you (plus the aspects of the...

    Its time to pack

    How far are you walking? I walked from O'Cebreiro to Santiago last week - although it was hard at times I felt healthy and refreshed at the end. After a couple of days rest I'd almost rather be back for another week rather than returned to work! Blessings on your camino. Wulf

    Heat-wave in NE Spain/SW France

    London is due to hit 36°C today so I'll be fairly well acclimatised! :) I'm walking with a team and, last year, our schedule often saw us finishing at about 3pm but, since we're going a few weeks later this year I'll have to see if we can break camp a bit earlier (or suggest that). Wulf

    Training for the Camino

    That looks like an interesting site. It's not too long before I head off to start my camino and I'm looking to squeeze in some more training so I look forward to investigating the site in more detail. Thanks, Wulf
