    Second Chance

    Yes. And one has to admire his grit. Although my admiration is mixed with a little worry that he will harm himself, He is very inexperienced and the PCT is a severe learning curve indeed. On the positive side It appears that experienced trail hikers and trail angels are now looking out for him...

    Second Chance

    Interesting step by step piece about a hiker who goes by the name of second chance. Despite huge odds, he is attempting to walk the Pacific crest trail. Regardless of his lack of hiker experience, fitness, and many other rookie errors he just keeps going...

    Total Hip Replacement

    I have a hip replacement. Since then I have walked the CF and the CP. I plan on starting the VDLP in April. So yes you will be able to walk the camino after proper Reha and care. It may take you a little longer and you will have to be careful and avoid falling on that hip as it will always be...

    First Day Blues

    You will be Ok. Just start off slow, listen to your body, if it needs rest then rest it. Build up your strength as you go. Consider yourself blessed to be where you are in each moment.

    Yikes, people

    Give it up notion900 . I agree with you 100%. But sometimes the willow is stronger than the oak. It is indeed frustrating when someone asks how long they need to exit an Airport. Or how to recognize when they are in a village. Questions, if we had them, we would never have dreamed to ask of...

    Yikes, people

    Or how many toilet rolls they should bring with them!

    Yikes, people

    Well spoken notion900. No worries, you sound extremly sane to me. Although I'm not on the forum to find alternative routes and cool adventures - I can find them out for myself. You do speak me out of the heart. The forum does indeed often come across as a la la land (no exmples stated, I...

    Walking the Camino changes lives - or does it?

    I can't say that the Camino changed my life. For me that would be interpreting too much into the exercise of walking 500 miles. No 'On the road to Damascus' moment occurred. Nor did I expect one. I think however a general rule of life applies to the Camino. You get as much out of something as...

    What REALLY happens when we step away and have time to think!

    Eloquent reply Coleen. Accepting oneself, (warts and all) Is the starting point for understanding others. I think I like the kind of me that you are.

    Visa dangers for volunteers

    Very good approach t2andreo. I have travelled over frontiers for almost 50 years now. If you look for trouble at a border you will most certainly find it. The border officer's job is to disern who should or should not be admitted. They do a difficult job and do not always get it right (said as...
