    Poll Do you listen to anything while walking?

    Sorry, but I would rather spend my time elsewhere now. I never said David couldn’t make his own choices, my objection was to the way he characterized people who made different choices. Again, this is not the first time I have encountered sweeping generalizations on this forum that denigrate the...

    Poll Do you listen to anything while walking?

    Am I not allowed to feel the way I want to feel about the way he said it? This is not the first time that I sense an attitude of “walk your own Camino as long as it’s exactly like I did it”. So I decided to make an annual donation to the forum today to thank Ivar for providing the information...

    The Camino Isn’t A Pilgrimage Anymore

    I’m very sad for those who are not familiar with the importance of the Craggy Island conclave :)

    Which is the flattest major Camino de Santiago route?

    It’s the only one I’ve done, but I agree based on what Ive heard about the others. The first few days are on flat boardwalk by the ocean, so your body has a chance to adjust before you get to anything resembling a hill. Aside from Porto itself, which is pretty darn hilly :)
