    ?why keep a journal

    For the sheer joy of reliving the memories. In the evenings tiredness overcame me and I didn't keep a diary. Two years on I have been asked to talk to the University of the Third Age in a local town of my Camino experiences. I have had to sit with my photos and relive each day, remembering...

    Recent Camino Article

    Priscillian You called as it was. So many will be able to empathize with you as they read your article. Only an hour ago I emailed the guys we walked our camino with. We spend little time with them and suddenly they feel like family just as so many unseen scribes on the forum site. Where...

    Camino Souvenirs and Trinkets

    Sil, A little off topic. There is a monument to Father R Salvado in the main street of Tui on the Camino Portugues. While the eucalyptus may be an unwelcome pilgrim in Spain one felt a sense of home when we came through an outcrop of them just outside of Santiago. Rose Louise

    Camino Souvenirs and Trinkets

    Sil Is we are caught by our border security guys bringing soil from Spain into Australia we would be in trouble. As it is you have to declare whether you have been on a farm and if you answer Yes" they will check your boots and more than likely take them away and dip them. Different...

    Can you be an 'eco-friendly' pilgrim?

    Br David The length of this topic indicates that many pilgrims are endeavouring to do their bit, as we say, to make their pilgrimages eco-friendly. It is hoped that the passion of the contributors encourages would-be pilgrims to think about their actions as they walk the Way. Yes we have...

    2009 Credentials

    Hi Bridget & Peter Last year I made up our own with our first stamp from the local rural church, across the border to another rural church, Melbourne, London, Porto and Tui. Picked up the Spanish version in Tui. The clerk at the Pilgrims Office was mightily impressed that we had gone to all...

    Can you be an 'eco-friendly' pilgrim?

    It is difficult for many pilgrims to be eco friendly when you consider the amount of bottled water that is consumed during their travels. Think about it, first perfectly good water is processed, bottled then transported to all parts of the world. In Australia it is "in" to drink french bottled...

    training

    Carol, I was similarly placed to you. A little older and had trained up to a longest day of 22 km. I believe the most important lesson learned was to train over all types of terrain with your pack on in the latter stages, drink plenty of water and know your limits. My camino was short...

    Which Route?

    Omar We are all looking for something different. Some would say that the CF experiences you speak of are just what they want whereas others like the solitude and time to think. Family members walked the CF last year and speak with such enthusiasm of the unique camaraderie amongst walkers...
