    Lost & Found Lost radio somewhere between Pereje and Trabadelo

    Hello We are a group of 7 walking the Camino Frances. We have 3 radios to keep contact with each other as we go. We got caught in a terrible storm this afternoon (16 June) and took shelter at which point we realised one of the radios was missing. It is about 5in long and on a carabiner. It is a...

    Is it me? (Pilgrim signs are everywhere)

    Oh yes. Definitely a member.

    Is it me? (Pilgrim signs are everywhere)

    Does anyone else feel that they may have opened up an inner channel post-Camino? Or maybe before. I, like many others, felt it calling me to do it. References randomly popping up over the years until finally the opportunity as good as smacked me in the face. I have walked three Caminos and will...

    How the Camino humbles me time after time

    Here I am on a chilly February day, supposedly getting on with 'work' and once again the Camino walks through my mind. Maybe because I know I am going out again this year but possibly also because I marvel at the way it gently changes me every time. I was just thinking how easy it is to judge...

    When the Camino speaks

    One of my favourite things about the Camino is its sense of humour. I was on the Camino Frances heading towards Boadilla de Camino. The past two days had been fairly horrendous with the lack of beds resulting in 30k days. And here I was in yet another 30-35k day situation. I was feeling very...

    Heavy burden to carry

    I arrived in Santiago on 26 May and I feel like I was put in a washing machine and spun round such that I feel I am still spinning. My Camino was extraordinary in so many ways. When I can put some things in context I will post again.

    Heavy burden to carry

    The funeral is late May which means I will get to Santiago but probably not to Finisterre this time. I was willing to go back but there seems little point in grieving at home when I can walk and grieve here.

    Heavy burden to carry

    My mother passed away in the small hours of Wednesday, the day I started walking from St Jean. I found out when I got to Orisson. I am so full of sadness but also thankful for her long life. The grief is almost overwhelming at times. Today is the worst. I arrived in Pamplona and there were no...

    Heavy burden to carry

    I am here in SJPP and preparing to start my walk today. I am content that my decision to come was the right one. Last night I had word that my mother is in her final hours. She is on my mind constantly. It is pouring with rain as it has been all night. It seems apt. Perhaps you may pray for us...

    Heavy burden to carry

    Starting from SJPP on 20th April. Trying to face my journey with courage but I feel fragile and vulnerable. I will draw on my faith and the kindness of strangers.

    Heavy burden to carry

    Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts and to CarolamS I reciprocate your sadness and support. When I planned this Camino I had no idea I would be doing it through a time such as this. But perhaps, once again, the camino calls me when I most need it. My first one, Portuguese Coastal...

    Heavy burden to carry

    I am about to head out on the Camino Frances. Two weeks ago my elderly mother started to deteriorate rapidly.I have agonised over whether to continue with my plans. I am one of six siblings and we are all pulling together on this. But I will go in the knowledge that she may pass. And I know that...
