    Duo Lingo or Something Else?

    Camino Wildlife (excluding escaped circus animals)

    My main interest in life outwith the camino is birds. Walking out of Sevilla in April 2022 to start the Via de la Plata was magical, crossing the Guadalquivir i saw a Squacco Heron, then heard Cetti's Warbler and on walking the route along the river I was thrilled to hear the beautiful song of...

    On the Camino: One Day at a Time, one Photo at a Time 11.0

    Day 1 on the Via de la Plata, 21st April 2022, my friend @Shona and I walked the river route rather than through Camas. Loved the VDLP, my third camino, though struggled with the heat at times as we had a terrific heatwave. It was wonderful to follow the spring north :) Met some truly wonderful...

    Camino etiquette - passing others on less-busy caminos

    I'm absolutely fine with someone passing me by, hopefully with a cheery "buen camino". No-one would want to walk my slow pace anyway hahaha. I got passed frequently on the VDLP, some folks would pass a few pleasantries others would just stride ahead I was happy with whatever :)

    0.0 and Sin Alcohol

    Haha, I also listened to this exact same podcast the other day too. I think he also mentioned that it was a bit frowned upon to be rolling drunk.

    0.0 and Sin Alcohol

    I was so happy last year when walking the Via de la Plata, and having been teetotal since 2020, to find alcohol free and 0.5% beer available virtually everywhere, and some very good beers too, I loved the tostada ones (dark beer).

    Where do ( did ) you walk ( locally ) in 2023?

    Been trying to walk every day this year even if it's just a mile or two - I sure am missing the warmth and sunshine of Spain though - we've had snow, ice and bitingly cold northerly winds here on the islands off the north-west coast of Scotland! (You can click on the thumbnails to see...

    Looking for lightweight tent

    I own both the Zpacks Duplex and the Hilleberg Akto, i've used them extensively in Scotland in all seasons and like them both. I haven't used them on camino but if doing so I would use the Zpacks rather than the Hilleberg. The Hilleberg is better in windy weather but heavier than the Zpacks, and...

    Poll Which Camino are you planning next?

    @Shona and I have come to terms with the fact that our VdlP won't be this spring, we hold out in the hope that we can maybe go in the autumn. In the meantime i'm going to keep my legs going with walks local to me - going to give the Hebridean Way a go when that is possible and I won't even need...

I’ve...

    Julian Assange

    When stressed or unable to sleep I nearly always visualise being on the camino, walking, looking at the scenery, listening to the birds, insects, the noise my feet make as I walk steadily on. I'm not quite sure that if my camino experiences weren't so deeply ingrained in my head that it would...

    What souvenir(s) did you bring back from the Camino?

    Yes, I replaced my Morchilla de Burgos magnet in Burgos in 2015 and it still sits on my fridge :)
