    Camino Dating

    My favourite albergue is Casa Susi in Trabadelo. It is owned and ran by an Aussie (Susi) and a Spaniard (Fermin). They met on the Camino several years back and decided to open an albergue together. They got married this year.

    Documenting the Journey

    I bet there's loads of people that would love a poll... I wish there was a way to find out how many.

    Documenting the Journey

    Being at least 14% stupider than you, I've never even heard of it! The map thing sounds good though although I think it's a bit late for me to swap platforms.. someone start a poll !! 😃

    Documenting the Journey

    Do a blog! I'm 94% stupid and still found it relatively easy to do using WordPress. You get a great diary of every day including photos and you get to share your experience with other people. I write mine every time I walk and really enjoy doing it.

    Succinct advice

    See? I can occasionally be sensible! I just try not to do it too often incase it becomes a habit 😊

    Succinct advice

    I wouldn't believe a word he says! I'm sure he makes it up as he goes along 😜

    Succinct advice

    If you had to give one piece of advice to a first time pilgrim in 7 words or less what would you tell them? No sneaky 8 word answers!

    Luggage Transport - Why?

    I think I've used them 3 times out of roughly 70 days of walking. Mine was when I knew I had a big descent and didn't fancy the weight on my knees.. another time I just felt the need for a weight free day so I could frolic if the desire took me.. personally I think it's a great idea to give...

    Equipment issues

    Hi all. I hope you're all keeping well. After 12 months of being stuck inside at home I decided to dig out my old camino clothes and go for a walk.. that's where the problem manifested.. Has anyone else experienced their clothes have shrunk (or shrank.. I've mulled it over for too long and now...

    Another useful tip for newcomers

    When researching my first camino I heard that when starting out, many pilgrims chose sangria. Not wanting to go against tradition I got off the plane and went straight to a bar.. three sangria-soaked days later (I was averaging 3km a day) I happened to be discussing how difficult the Camino was...

    Inspiration and friendship and definitely not a poll

    I saw this and it struck a chord with me.. specifically the first sentence.. after walking with a stranger for a few hours and delighting then with my endless reserve of interesting facts, (do YOU know where the word "dashboard" originates?) I noticed that they would often begin to walk slower...

    How Hot is Too Hot for You? (NOT a Poll)

    If only there was some way to see how many people like/dislike polls...

    Weight saving tips

    I was reading a post by someone that suggested sawing part of the handle from your toothbrush to save weight and it got me thinking.. I realised that the only part of my walking poles that I actually touch is the handles, the rest of the pole is superfluous.. I cut the rest of the poles off and...

    Practical Pilgrim Day in Manchester

    Yeah, I'll have a look at a route (more than welcome to suggest one) and then offer it as a meet up on the Sunday. I was going to reply to the advert on FB saying that my invitation to speak must have got lost in the post but I don't think people on there are as used to my sense of humour 😛

    Practical Pilgrim Day in Manchester

    Are you involved in the running of it? If so then please keep me in mind if someone cancels.. inviting people on the training walk sounds fun.. I guess a day walking with me would be a good taster for some aspiring pilgrims.. if they can cope with me waffling on they can cope with anything 😀

    Practical Pilgrim Day in Manchester

    Yeah I'm a member. I can't find details of the meal in the latest post.. although I do seem to remember something about el Rincon ages ago.. or maybe it was a dream 😛 I'm planning a couple of training weekends march/April in Manchester (well, edale etc) so could hopefully come meet you all and...

    Practical Pilgrim Day in Manchester

    I don't think I'm on mailing list.. I follow that much camino stuff I've got no idea what I'm actually subscribed to 🤣 yeah I could hopefully drive over for the meal, I'll have a look at hotels etc and get back to you. To be honest it's probably best if I don't come to the sensible bit anyway...

    Poll Do you walk alone or together with others?

    I'm halfway there.. just not the romantic bit 😀
