    Accommodation worries

    Not sure why a comparison between Royalty and the commoner would be made here, unless I misspoke and the Poster is of Royal Blood? Royal Runners would be recognized and all efforts would come to bear to accommodate their needs…or is it that we, as common individuals have been elevated to a...

    Accommodation worries

    As a single Senior, just me now, not for everyone, but a Pilgrim never had the opportunity to book ahead. This is a new phenomenon. But, taking the day ahead as it goes, at least provides adventure as well as possibly tasking us to our limits, in a reasonably safe environment. The Camino has a...

    Cancelling Camino - Soliciting Advice

    My first try at CF was 2016. I was overweight and my pack was too. I made it about 50 km and my left IT Band blew out. My second try was in 2018. I walked daily and over 1,100 km here in a year, up to 7 km. My pack was slashed down to 10 lb plus water...I made it from SJPdP ro Maneru, about 100...

    How often do you take a break?

    It took me a while as I was like you but… learned to listen to my body re: taking be=reaks and their duration.

    Duo Lingo or Something Else?

    Estudio Español agora para 1,768 dias. I have about a year left to finish off the course. Obviously, I’m enjoying it…and 14 other languages…including Latin and Esperanto.

    Carry your backpack please.

    The Camino is different for everyone. For me, it is a pilgrimage…and will be…always.

    Soft tips for new walkers

    Locals Only

    Three years of pandemic shut downs has damaged us all. Other world events have not helped, such as wars and other conflicts as well as human migration. Some can handle these issues like this better than others.

    Celebrating my old age

    I am 70, 71 in January and still a year or two from my next attempt at the CF, or something else. Remember…70 is the new 60!!!!

    Anyone here resembling this cartoon?

    For those who have made it to six days, sorry, we cannot give you a 7 day token until you reach 7 days. How likely is that to happen? LOLOLOL!!!!

    Well this is weird ... the Hoverglide rucksack system ...

    From an engineering point of view, if there is no elf or leprechaun pushing up behind you or a bunch of helium balloons tied to the top of the pack, the wearer will experience heavier and lighter weights, though only momentary. Overall, if the pack weighs 20 lb., the wearer will feel the full 20...

    Look behind you!!

    Well...perhaps for those who report the loss, it may be a, "head space," thing. But for the unreported items, it may simply be a lightening of the pack exercise. I know I have not reported a number of things, including hiking boots with which I had I long history...but no more.

    What to carry in my wallet

    When travelling, Camino or anywhere, I carry two wallets. The real wallet has what is needed and is carried in a not so obvious place. The second wallet is where most would carry it, accessible but contains a couple of fives and expired cards.

    The “new normal” isn’t necessarily bad

    In the world described in your post, everyone would have to book a bed. There is no spontaneity in that. Try this on for size. No one books a bed, forgets their rat race lives to come to the Camino to experience a completely different way of living…like a Peregrino. In that life, everything is...

    Solo walkers - what kinds of food do you buy at grocery stores?

    Chorizos, queso, pan, manzanas, naranjas, olivas, agua y jugo. I provide these in Spanish as this is what to look for, “en España.”

    What’s going on?

    It seems the, "unexpected," is becoming the norm.

    Social anxiety

    Breathe...consciously, deeply.
