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

    I did not do a pilgrimage in Spain yet (I started my ♿️ wheelchair pilgrimage in the netherlands 🇳🇱 and do every year a part of the route. "Now" I am in the south of France, Rocamadour) but in France I normally eat very simple food. Not just because i travel on a very low budget but also...

    Poll Why did you have to abandon your Camino? Anonymous

    Since 2016 I do every tear a part of the camino by wheelchair. This year I was already packed but instead of 2 months (pilgrimage and travel time) camino in France from Rocamadour to the Spanish border I ended up for (back) surgery in hospital and had months of rehabilitation.

    Where was your most memorable stay and why?

    My most special place for the night was the palace of the bishop in France. How I ended up there is a too long story to write here, but I wrote a blog about it. https://rolstoelpelgrim.nl/2020-vezelay-avallon-naar-taize/#pelgrim7

    Is it okay to want to walk the Frances alone?

    I love to roll (I "walk" by wheelchair) alone. My experience is that when I am on my own it is easier to have contact with local people and even find places to sleep at locals. That is what I love the most I think and then the next day I roll alone again through nature and enjoy the silence, my...

    OMG naughty medieval pilgrim badges 😮

    I work as volunteer in a medieval openairmuseum in the Netherlands (archeon) and I always try to get medieval pelgrim badges (replica's) from places I have been on pilgrimage. I prefer the religious ones and leave the naughty ones for others. It is still posible to get them, when you are...
