    Don't put off going back to Camino - count your remaining weeks!

    "Take care of your body as if you are going to live forever. Take care of your soul as if you are going to die tonight" Don't assume that all those incoming / remaining future weeks will be spent in the best of health.

    Succinct advice

    what to do with pack while in a cathedral

    Waugh wasn't casting aspersions. It was a reference to the teaching that "Christ came to call sinners". Waugh understood that he wasn't going to church because he was good but because he needed to be good. There should be no offense taken from the quote

    what to do with pack while in a cathedral

    In rural churches, take it off before you enter and leave it just inside the door. If you feel the need to carry it around then at least take it off your back and carry it in your hands. Less chance this way of accidentally swiping people or inanimate objects with it. But a word of caution. I...

    Oversaturation

    As people queued to file past the body of our late Sovereign Lady Queen Elizabeth the second, of Blessed and Glorious memory, an interviewer asked a lady why she had brought her young daughter to London to stand in line for such a long time to pay her respects. The lady was French and said she...

    Pre Camino Frances nerves

    A lot depends on which route you're walking. On the Ingles there's not as much choice. Pre booking allowed us to "walk in a relaxed manner", more of a saunter then a walk. On the Frances? There's either always going to be somewhere or, in extremes, you could yo-yo using a taxi. As @OnHellas...

    Needing a livestock refresher course

    The critical question to ask yourself when crossing a field with cattle in it is not "can I outrun the cattle" but "can I outrun the people I'm walking with" ;)

    Prayer books

    I use the app Evangelizo. Lots of languages to choose from, The Mass for each day is available in a choice of three liturgical calendars. It also has a selection of the most popular prayers of the universal Church. Additionally I took Dom Bede Jarrett's No Abiding City with me. A series of...

    Peregrino arrested after traffic accident involving a goat...

    Attitudes will change if it turns out he's been eating the goats.

    I Need a Hiking Buddy

    For goodness sake David, keep your voice down, my line manager might be reading this 😉

    Another British Pilgrimage

    An astute observation. Currently I can fight my way from pub to pub but visit a church to pray? Not a chance

    Camino Quotes

    From my own Camino, the stock reply from an English chap who spoke no Spanish "Si.Si. Bobby Charlton".

    The Easter Vigil denied.

    Daily Mass is being streamed live from many parishes during this time. A great way to stay connected and an opportunity for Spiritual Communions. https://www.mcnmedia.tv/camera/christ-the-good-shepherd Other churches are available :)

    Documenting our Caminos - Diaries, blogs, photos, etc.

    I'm just getting round to writing up my Camino and posting it onto a blog site. After posting the first days entry I had negative comments on the use of the present tense. So I posted the second day in the past tense..... and had an equal number of negative comments :rolleyes:

    Still starting my Camino

    If it would help I could live stream some snoring for you?

    Walking in cooler temperatures.

    Berghaus used to do a jacket called the Vapourlight. It seemed to be made of nothing but thin nylon. However it had a very very thin layer of insulator sandwiched between the two nylon layers. A fantastic mid layer to put on when having a rest break. Sadly unavailable now, but hopefully someone...

    Excellent as usual Gerard and thanks for pointing me in the direction of Iberia

    My ethical dilemma regarding a compostela

    If you're heading to Jerusalem you're miles off track :eek: Tighten the cilice a notch and walk with a clear conscience
