    What makes you walk

    What makes you walk

    Aha! That’s exactly what my Camino was - low budget and, well....what is “civilized” anyway? It was grand to be away from what passes as “civil” at home, and to enjoy the simple civility of the Chemin. I loved it! Perhaps you will stand in some of the same places as the Roland of legend, or...

    Is it hot in here to you? A thread for Sharing Tips for Hot Blooded persons!

    so, in deference to @Vacajoe, you could sing to your dorm-mates: You look as cold as ice So I'm willing to sacrifice my heat You should take my advice Someday you'll pay the price, not donativo I've seen it before It happens all the time Crawl into my bunk You leave the cold Camino behind...

    Is it hot in here to you? A thread for Sharing Tips for Hot Blooded persons!

    Well....I was most comfortable in shorts, even from my start in mid-April. Those detachable pant legs stayed in the bottom of my back pretty much the whole way. Maybe just an effect of my more Northern being. What sorts of hot-blooded thoughts and questions have been percolating for you? I'm...

    Opinions back home

    Hi Marrymeflyfree. Welcome to the forum,...in many senses your Camino has already started. Now all that you need to do is get your boots on and start walking. Loads of folks have already expressed their experiences and knowledge of the safety of the Camino. If you’d like to share a view of the...

    Stop Spraying Lavender Oil!

    Spray on the scent, and you’ll never have to wash again. It’s lavé ender.

    Stop Spraying Lavender Oil!

    I’ve found that a brick helps me to stop snoring. I lie down with it under my upper back. No sleep = no snoring. Problem solved.

    Stop Spraying Lavender Oil!

    Kind of as in Life. Whilst I agree that “pilgrims need to be more aware of how their actions are affecting others”, so do we all. How do they become more aware, unless engaged somehow? There are so many actions of “trespass” - orange peels, tissues and other trail detritus, late night/early...

    Time for a retread thread of something to make us smile

    Brilliant! I might add, place 6 lengths of 1” doweling like ladder rungs on the floor and, in the dark, walk, backwards, barefoot along them, mid foot to dowel, as if you were trying to descend, on tender feet, from a top bunk in the middle of the night. Don’t scream or swear. Thanks for the...

    This Dangerous Business

    Thank you. Yes...this is a grand adventure! "Still round the corner, there may wait A new road, or a secret gate And though I oft have passed them by A day will come, at last, when I Shall take the hidden roads that run West of the Moon, East of the Sun." Right foot. Left foot. Repeat.

    Will they hate me?

    :) I've been thinking a lot about "dorm etiquette" these past days....most albergues require departure by 8am and I've experienced overhead lights being turned on by fellow peregrinos as early as 6, despite there being many still sleeping. You can usually find somewhere to sit outside of the...

    Contact lenses or eye glasses?

    Well....it is just two weeks before I leave home, planning to start walking from St Jean Pied-de-Port on April 14 or 15. I've not found a related thread (forgive me if I missed it), but have still not decided on whether to use my contact lenses (prefer the clarity of vision and comfort/ease...
