    Join me on a virtual camino walk this summer?

    Thanks girls, will do my best and let you know how it is out there. I will have my MRI on Wednesday before I go and face the music when I get back. I'm going to take both poles as any activity below the waist can be OK? Will need to be trial and error I think I just feel unsafe coming down...

    Hi everyone, sorry I haven't contributed in a while. I guess if I check my Fitbit I may have clocked up enough miles to reach Santiago but it is with a very heavy heart. :( My shoulder/arm injury is much worse and I'm waiting for an MRI and then surgery. My doc knows about my trip and how...

    Nature as a prescription?

    Amazing! Love the avoiding murderous rage comment and I definitely want some spontaneous euphoria! http://theshrug.com/this-is-the-best-drug-commercial-you-will-ever-see/ Hope the link works? I want no other prescription!

    Hi Clare, great to 'see' you too and glad your foot is mending! :) You are right to to be wary about re-injury but it's hard not to become too keen when you are good to go again? Hope your other issue gets resolved soon too. Have manged to carry my backpack today with water, food, rain gear...

    Hi Linda! Sorry I didn't know anyone was still on the virtual camino? I haven't had any alerts on posts since I last posted and yet I'm supposed to have like your posts I haven't seen?????o_O Hope your PF settles I can see that many pilgrims suffer with it? I've had enforced rest I'm afraid...

    Hi everyone I'm back! I am now a Mother-in-Law to the very lovely India, a perfect match for my amazing son Jonny. :D The camino has its wonders but for me the best feeling in the world comes from seeing your children utterly and blissfully happy! The best wedding I have ever been to! :) I did...

    I just love my life

    Hi Al I too love your optimism, it lifts me up! My great day was Saturday when I became a Mother-in-Law for the first time! Always wanted a sister for my beautiful daughter. My daughter-in-law is just perfect for my son and he for her.:) I don't think there can be anything better than seeing...

    Join me on a virtual camino walk this summer?

    So only a short day yesterday Villafranca del Bierzo, anyone stayed here? There's a Parador described as one of the least expensive but it looks so modern and sterile! More geared to being a wedding venue I think? Need somewhere with character but clean, going to be here for 3 days! In real...

    Are we Good Samaritans?

    My first response as a nurse would be to respond to anyone, anywhere especially if I'd witnessed the intial collapse, that's when you can help the most. I'm astonished that so many people would ignore someone like this, but I understand the herd instinct and that everyone is thinking that...

    Haha!!! The pants weather has JUST arrived!;) Giving me the day to walk 16.2km in just under 4 hours! Some cloud, a little sun, very pleasant but again flat!:oops: Need to get me to some hills. So I have now reached Pieros a lovely little vegetarian albergue. El Serbal y la Luna. Last time my...

    Finally started using my Gym Card today.

    What you probably can't see are the tears of joy in my eyes. I couldn't quite believe I was about to make a long held dream come true! :) I too am curious about your role? I am a registered nurse and when I retire would love to give something back to the camino?

    Finally started using my Gym Card today.

    :D:D:D So THAT'S what it's for!?! :rolleyes: You are so funny David. Like Mike said, I don't plan on needing your services but if we do meet the drinks are on me for all the chuckles! I'm still laughing at your Proclaimers photo! :D:D:D Leaving St Jean September 18th.

    Have done enough kilometres to get me to Ponferrada today. Did not stay here last time so I will and have a good look around. Will stay in the Parrochial albergue San Nicholas de Flue. I know it's big so there will be plenty of pilgrims to chat to. May put a bigger day in tomorrow weather...

    Another 14km for me too! Quite enough on top of yesterday's 22.2! So now I have reached ..... Molinaseca any advice? Somewhere simple with a communal meal?
