    Windows shut

    Great thread... "Windows"... my biggest gripe on the camino.... after 'extensive survey' I've come to the very generalised conclusion (unbiased of course) that the Brits are the worst window offenders, closely followed by Spanish. Perhaps we can have a vote?? I've played the window game in many...

    Something (a perspective on life) to reflect upon for pilgrims (and us all...)...

    All of a sudden no motivation to start the camino

    Sheryl, by now you may have made your decision or maybe not. So many helpful posts above suggesting you are no alone with your procrastination. Many experience lack of motivation and/or fear before starting things , dealing with this in all sorts of ways. Last year, we'd been in Andalucia for a...

    How would you rank the Caminos by difficulty?

Plenty infrastructure, accom choices, etc. Portuguese x2 ... from Porto Madrid x2...... Best albergues, good...

    Bed bug advice along Camino Primitivo and Norte

    Oh dear, sorry Kanga, I didn't explain myself too well. Of course, when I was bitten, I decontaminated and made sure I was not carrying bed bugs. However,I don't wish to sleep in a pesticiide, chemically treated sleeping bag and clothes. I hope that's not irresponsible. I don't believe it's...

    Bed bug advice along Camino Primitivo and Norte

    Interesting. So much emphasis on decontaminating and protecting backpacks and contents. I've been bitten by bed bugs in two separate albergues on two different caminos on the VdlP, when it was very hot and I was not inside a sleep bag. No one else in the room was bitten. Not generally such a...

    Pilgrim age

    This is a wonderful thread and so true. Thank you Anemone. I never feel as young and ageless as I do when walking the camino. What is it about this special walk and community we most all become addicted to? I feel it's a combination of a lot of things but for me... 3 biggies.... the exercise...

    Thoroughly depressing

    Hello Kiwi-family. I am sorry your experiences on the VdlP have had an impact on the children's outlook for future walking and understand your feeling of responsibility for their enjoyment. We were on the VdlP too, in May/June. Am sorry we didn't meet up, we knew you were about, but we only did...

    Twelve Days Out--Random Thoughts

    I really love a 'bum bag'/ waist bag and got so used to using my well padded Tatonka for our first few caminos. It holds 2 water bottles and has a mid space for camera and all the little essentials. I just love its accessibility and the way I could even briefly rest my sticks across it. It is...

    Meeting up in Santiago?

    This is great news. I was involved a couple of years ago when a similar thread, probably also started by our Laurie, started up and mired out. Funny that there seem to have been no postings on this stream since March 2015, yet it has popped up today, so I guess there must be reports elsewhere...

    The movie, "Wild"

    I've seen both movies, much preferred Tracks, which I became slightly obsessed with and wrote my best poetry about... the interaction between landscape and character. I felt Wild was more about the flashbacks and interactions with people, while Tracks is more in the moment and the girl's...

    Forum demoscopic, @Ivar

    Was looking for somewhere to register but now see the poll closed. And where are all those Americans walking? We don't see many on the VdlP and other routes we walk. (not the Frances). Just wondering. . .
