    Does it rain in Ireland?

    If it helps, on both my visits to Galicia, I never struggled to find a bar, though they aren't quite as homely as a pub. In terms of the West Wales rain, technically we had two rains this year, as it moved into sleet and snow for a few hours before reverting to rain.

    What to do about a proud tagger (a person who scrawls graffiti)

    The sheer volume of graffiti on the camino was one of the few things that really grated with me on my first Camino Frances. In truth, I remember very little from the Ingles. I remember that a girl called Noemie (a spelling that stuck in my mind for all the wrong reasons) was writing her name...

    25 Habits of Successful and Happy People

    #26 - ignore all of the points on the list that you don't like! But really - a very good list. I'm not sure if my habit counts as a morning ritual, but always be the last out of bed, and skip the first couple of cafes! Maybe I'm weird, but unless there was a long stretch before the first cafe...

    Which Stages Do You Prefer To Walk?

    Hi guys, Not sure if anyone else shares my perspective on walking, but generally I find that the stages of the Camino that I have enjoyed the most have been the ones with the most climbing, and I can actually cover greater distances on those stages than on the longer flat stages on the Camino...

    top tips for a first time walker

    I can only echo the advice about the footwear issue - I spent much of my evenings hobbling around and cutting open the fresh blisters that came up. I wore heavy walking shoes on my first camino - Compeed only made it worse, so I eventually started cutting each blister with nail clippers. Second...

    I like to watch - but now I want to do it myself (again)

    Alex - it sounds like you're in for one heck of a year - I hope your feet serve you well! I agree with the desire to view pictures - along with Camino videos on youtube - it only makes the urge to walk again even greater. For me - I have to wait until my two weeks in September! Best of luck...

    What Makes A Camino Musical?

    Okay, so I guess this may be something that pilgrims do not necessarily think about....but how do we all absorb musicals such as Les Miserables or another of the major Christian musicals? I am not, in the strictest interpretation, a Christian pilgrim, but I do want to complete the route from La...
