    What is missed from every packing list?

    I ached for my hair straightener! I stared longingly at the 'tour-pilgrims' walking from Sarria; their hair was so silky and fresh and bee-oootiful!

    I will do a talk about doing the camino, help requested

    You have some good ideas yourself, Beatrice, and many more great ideas from the people here. As it is a church group, and the camino is originally a spiritual pilgrimage (and still is for many) I would also delve into that aspect. I would mention that for many, they feel it to be a calling that...

    A moment of thought for those having to postpone their plans.

    I'm sorry about the scare John. I too hope that everything turns out okay for you both and that you can walk. Stay well.

    When a total stranger makes your camino special

    How very wonderful! Thank you for sharing such a lovely story.

    How did you integrate your camino experience with daily life?

    Hi Thomas, what you are feeling is very natural for someone who has experienced a deep internal shift on the camino. You have touched something profound within yourself, and that is something that you are still processing. It happened to me, and to a lot of people who walk the camino. Though it...

    Don't wait to walk your camino

    So sorry, Gailsie. I do hope things get better for you. Your post does remind us not to put the important things on hold, and so thank you for sharing this.

    Your camino calling what step are you on

    Have been on the top once, and am currently on step 4, wanting to do it again, but not sure when. Well done for getting off your butt! I wish you Buen camino!!!

    Pilgrim passport

    It depends where you're starting from, Jen. In St. Jean you can get it at the pilgrim's office for 2 euro. There's a FAQ's link at the top of this page where you get almost all of your questions answered, and you can use this link for more (it also links back to some great resources here)...

    My Camino: An escape, from my mind

    I also suffered horrible depression and suicidal tendencies after my son died Antonio. I had a lot of support at home from my husband and daughter, and the camino helped me to shift into a different space. I didn't go with any expectations, though. I walked alone and enjoyed it, and in the...

    Beautifully said, Stuart.

    Friends are dangerous things to have

    You lucky devil, Al! I wish I had all those agonizing choices! I think I met you in Ventosa, in the Albergue San Saturnino? In May or June. Unless you just look like someone I met! Anyway, enjoy, and buen camino!

    Have you become a Umulator?

    I'm the opposite to you! The camino sort of traumatized me when it came to packing. I could only carry the barest minimum and was forever trying to get rid of even the teeniest things to lighten the small load that I had. As a result, I would stare into shop windows in the big towns and...

    My five minute, 'Gentle, In Bed Stretches'

    Thank you for this Gerard. On the camino last year, I often went to sleep in great pain. As I'm doing it again this year with my hubby, I'm dreading that bit! So I've bookmarked these exercises, and will give them a shot. If they don't work, I'll sue you for a million dollars!

    I am doing it my way or so i thought

    Well done with your training, and yes, I quite believe in miracles! If I walked 8oo kms last year, anyone can! I wasn't the fittest person, but like you I walked for three months before and it all prepares you. It's still difficult mind you, what with walking almost every day, but like Al and...

    Dogs

    I only encountered sleepy, cute dogs! Even the wandering ones weren't interested in the pilgrims. The cute photos here say it all!

    Training for the Camino

    Everyone is just so different, and your plan is good. I walked like a demon on a treadmill almost every day for three months (max 16 km) and I still found the camino walking experience very testing. Others who didn't train much were just fine! Do what you can, and the camino will do the rest. I...

    Tears on the Camino. The gift of tears.

    I loved your article. Yes, every time I had the thought 'I'm walking the road to Santiago' the tears would start! Then when the km markers began in earnest at the last 100 km, it was difficult to keep my eyes dry. And at the pilgrim's office, I had to struggle not to go to pieces. You're right...
