It's called Lindsey Holland Walks, Chrissy. I have a Camino Frances playlist, and will add this new video to that playlist, for the time being at least. I hope you enjoy it, and thanks for being interested! 🙏
Just to address this, which I hadn't answered!… Yes, my sleep system is self-supporting so I'll be fine to sleep anywhere, so long as there's at least a bit of headroom.
I know that an update here is overdue…
I imagine some of you will be disappointed to know that I decided not to go back to walk the CF, but to stay here in the UK… for now. I will go at some point, and walk the CF, or a different Way, alone.
Fears are a complicated business. I became aware that...
We have gone round and round and round. I’ve never found myself so conflicted about anything in my life! I am serious. It feels pivotal to me, somehow. But the above questions are quite different to my previous ones, and I’ve asked them because they’re the ones I need to focus on right now...
I’m not sure what sort of challenges you feel you could have, if you are working on the premise that you both a) have a good internet connection and b) have a fully updated version of the Zoom app on your phone. Are you thinking that it might be hard to use the app because you’ve previously used...
I may, or may not, head to SJPDP to walk the CF alone next week.
I’ve posted about the complicated background to this in a previous thread. I’m still undecided. But three questions here…
1) Those of you who’ve previously walked caminos but with partners, or staying in private rooms rather...
Thank you for this brilliant anecdote and quotation! Yes, there's definitely an element of this for me.
What are people finding are the main increased costs? I was going off Buen Camino and Wise Pilgrim and €10 for an albergue seemed average, so I figured up to €15 should be ok. For food, we...
You have a wonderful knack of giving me perspective on myself, Woody, and seem always to offer insight into what is actually happening. I always forget that things have genuinely been difficult; weird isn't it? Thank you. This really touched me 🙏
You are all SO BRILLIANT! Thank you. I'm thinking about all of this. I'll post some separate replies but wanted first to say I never stop marvelling at just how wonderful this place is 🙏
Ah, I think my tone hasn’t come across, or at least, some subtlety hasn’t. I use ‘ridiculous’ in a sort of flamboyant way. It’d be more accurate to say that part of me thinks it’s come out of left field—I’m sort of shocked by the idea—but another part sees sense in it
I mentioned talking with...
Hello Camino friends,
This is a bit of a personal post, but I'm going to trust that it's a good idea. I'll plunge into the middle.
I'm probably a fortnight away from booking myself back on a flight to Spain, and walking as much of the Camino Frances, or another route, as I can between...
I am so glad this thread exists! Covid is such a tricky topic: so many people disagree with doing x or y, and countries have acted at different rates and in different ways. I pointedly avoided talking about it with other pilgrims during our section of the CF this summer, partly out of...
Yes, but @Charles Zammit has said there was no cyclist there, and digital cameras don’t create these effects unless you either choose panorama mode, in which case the bike would have needed to be there, or deliberately create a double exposure, which isn’t the case here. Anyway, I like the...
This is very odd! I couldn’t resist tinkering with the photo to see if some of the dark areas held more detail—I hope you don’t mind, @Charles Zammit . I used to be a photographer and, although I’m not up to speed with phone camera trickery, I can’t explain this. A double exposure would be the...
Thank you 🙏 This sounds as though it could be very helpful and interesting. I’ve downloaded the Kindle sample and will take a look after I’ve finished with Laurie Lee! 👍🏻
