    How to walk a virtual camino in my local area and sync with Camino?

    Thanks, I'll get it then.

    How to walk a virtual camino in my local area and sync with Camino?

    For all of you using Walking4fun, can you tell me if the Premium upgrade from the free app is worth the cost? I'll gladly do that if it adds measurably to the experience.

    How to walk a virtual camino in my local area and sync with Camino?

    Thanks so much. I didn't know this existed. I'm starting out virtually on June 1 with Annie O'Neil on her Pilgrimage In Place FB page and this will help immeasurably.

    'Love, Light & Nature'

    I LOVE “ In your heart and home, Peace.” Can I borrow that to sign my Christmas cards next year? “ All is well” is also perfect, unless all isn’t well. Of course all is always well in a mystical sense.

    Towards a theory of difficulty

    I get the fun of the game, for sure, but it's still totally subjective, I think. For me, the distance walked in a given day is by far the greatest measure of the difficulty, absent any crazy challenges as I've mentioned in earlier posts. There is also another factor that I don't think you've...

    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    I walked the Camino Frances in 2015 when I was 73, the Portuguese Camino in 2017 when I was 75, the British Coast to Coast Walk (Wainwright's) in 2018 when I was 76, and I'm planning to walk the Camino Ingles followed by the Camino Finisterre in October. I am now 77. I'm training especially hard...

    Comparison of Camino Frances with C2C

    I've given myself a generous 21 days to walk, including two nights in Grasmere, because of Wordsworth. I used Doreen Whiteman's "The Original Bed and Breakfast Accommodation Guide" (available online) and Stedman's C2C guide to find places to email or call for reservations. I'm staying at a...

    Comparison of Camino Frances with C2C

    That sounds good. I'm going alone and I've done my own booking. I plan to use one of the baggage transfers and carry a day pack. I've decided not to use the Ferrino poncho I used on my Caminos, but rather to wear a good rain jacket and rain pants this time. I ordered them and they arrived today...

    Comparison of Camino Frances with C2C

    Thank you so much, Diane! Your comments are encouraging to me. I'll be quite a bit older than you were when I walk, but I do have the experience of the Camino Frances and the Portuguese Camino under me. Unless the weather is unusually good, I'll likely take the lower routes. I know I may miss...

    Comparison of Camino Frances with C2C

    Good luck with your C2C, Simeon. I've found all the responses immensely helpful too. Now to pray for halfway decent weather! I'll be getting to St. Bee's via London so don't know about coming from Dublin.

    Comparison of Camino Frances with C2C

    Thanks for the link to the thread. It's pretty scary to read though. I've expected the additional expense, so that won't be a shock. I just hope I'm not attempting something that is impossible for me.

    Comparison of Camino Frances with C2C

    Thank you so much, Wes. I’ll look at the thread. You are exactly the sort of person I was looking for. The C2C looks harder to me from the blogs I’m reading. That doesn’t mean tbat I don’t want to walk it. I guess I’ll just to leave all my affairs in order, and not let my children know what I’m...

    Comparison of Camino Frances with C2C

    Thank you so much! That's what I want to hear, of course. I won't be carrying a full pack this time, I don't think, but still, enough. I do think that if I were 28 years younger than I am now, I wouldn't be worrying at all. :) But I'm glad to hear from someone who has walked both walks. Many...

    Comparison of Camino Frances with C2C

    I don't know where to post this question, but I'm hoping that some of you good pilgrims can respond here. I've walked the Camino Frances in 2015, at the age of 73, and the Camino Portuguese in 2017, at the age of 75. Now I have a deep desire to walk the British Coast to Coast Walk, the...

    My worst camino turned out to be my best....

    Emia, everyone on the forum shares your sadness. It's so good that you can be with your mother. I'm a mother too, and I know how important it will be for me to have my children close to me in my final days, whenever they are. You are a great blessing to your mother. Remember that always.

    My worst camino turned out to be my best....

    Annie, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. The loss of a sibling is profound. But how wonderful that you were able to be there with your mother, to support her and to share together this terrible, terrible loss. My heart hurts for you and goes out to you.

    Paying household bills while on the Camino

    Amen to technology.

    Paying household bills while on the Camino

    I've anticipated this problem and have set up all of my accounts (including all of my utilities), everything, online, so they are paid automatically, each month, the balance on the account. I keep enough in my credit account to cover everything. That way, I'm not going to worry when I'm gone for...
