    My last post

    Oh I'm not leaving...sorry if I gave the wrong impression. I only intended to retreat into my castle for "a while" to recover my energy. I love this forum too much to leave it. Besides, I've just bought myself a new tin hat and an extra layer of rhinoserous skin...so you might even be seeing...

    My last post

    But the social dynamic in a forum and on the Camino are worlds apart. Apart from the handful of bad experiences I had with individuals on my five Caminos, I have never had pilgrims or hospitaleros seem to gang up against me or any other pilgrim for sharing an opinion. But in this forum I have...

    Wild Animal Encounters

    He should have followed the "big wild pig" and maybe find some truffles!? :)

    Wild Animal Encounters

    Are you referring to the bull or the Yeti?

    Wild Animal Encounters

    Just in case any newcomers to this site think I am being serious in my last post, the bull in question is a cutout billboard which you can see after Logrono.

    Wild Animal Encounters

    They say the Yeti still roams the mountains of Galicia and feeds on hapless pilgrims, but we can't be sure as none have come back to tell us their tale. :eek:Or they could be just having a great big party together - we just don't know. Further research is required. Joking aside, this is what I...

    [Joke] Urgent announcement

    Hope it doesn't become a trend on the Camino! :)

    There's an additional tax for walking naked!

    That's very unfair on people who weight 1414Kg or more. ;)

    Mass and Communion on the Camino

    Not sure if already mentioned on these threads, but there is an albergue in Villamayor de Montjardin run by a Dutch evangelical group (Protestant organisation). I stayed there last time and it turned out to be a personal highlight of my Camino. They didn't offer communion (and I didn't ask), but...

    A winter day in Swedish mountain made me longing for the camino

    This thread epitomizes what I love about this forum. I thought I was strange to be obsessional about my next Camino - thought I just wanted to escape real life. But I guess, what's wrong with that? ;) See aso Picture #2 in the attached link - especially for our antipodean friends :) A Camino in...

    Baptized on the Camino

    It depends on the denomination. Protestant evangelicals practice adult public baptism "upon the confession of your faith in Christ", wherever suffiicent water can be found. For example, pilgrims to Israel take advantage of this service/facility by the river Jordan. The Catholic church practices...

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

    Happy Christmas to all on this brilliant forum. Looking forward to my Camino in Summer of 2014. Thought for the day as I tuck into my Christmas meal: If a dog is for life and not just for Christmas, what about turkeys? :)

    BBC "Pilgrimage With Simon Reeve"

    Yes, just tried again and it works fine. I think they are worth watching - some like, some obviously don't. It's not a documentary on the Camino but a look at pilgrimage across Europe past and present, focusing only on the highlights.

    BBC "Pilgrimage With Simon Reeve"

    Episode 2 of "Pilgrimage" with Simon Reeve was shown on BBC 2 this evening (UK). Excellent program - presents some highlights of Camino Frances very well. Still available on BBC iPlayer for those in the UK. Hopefully will appear on YouTube in due course.
