    It appears to be happening again.

    What’s a poncho?

    It appears to be happening again.

    Ah yes. Sound advice from Briarly.
  3. Aesklepius

    It appears to be happening again.

    Forget the Euros. Take bitcoin. And as far as distance goes, please walk in leagues or furlongs in order to make it feel shorter or longer. Your choice. Pack weight is measured in stone. A three stone pack is sensible. It sounds light.

    A Hard Question?

    Hmmmmm. I certainly found myself challenged by my own “unperegrino-like” thoughts of others as I woke up, worn, stinky, disheveled and tired, in Sarria to find so many shiny and sparkly walkers joining the path. Good lesson, though. That challenge helped me to understand the singularity of my...

    Tony from irelands first time camino advice

    It is, of course, a rather singular experience to have walked along this Way and to be reminded of how to “walk” through each day back home, as a continuing Camino. Your comment is a good reminder for me to keep my head up, eyes, heart and mind open each day, to be in awareness and wonder of...

    Just a Thought

    Alright, @scruffy1 ... the quote does continue, “But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”...

    Help!

    Best cure for your anxiety: start walking your Camino! Slowly, deliberately, with open eyes, heart and mind. Breathe, right foot, left foot; repeat. Identify any expectations, and set them aside. The Camino provides. It really does. And yes to the lightweight sleeping bag. Or, just a silk...

    Difficulty at Pilgrims Office in Santiago

    Reading Carolet's post leaves me asking the question, "What might a future Pilgrim take away from this...how might they learn, or how does the post help another?" (Thanks for the link, Peregrina2000. Other threads on the forum - Johnny Walker, for example, and Mr. Brierly's book don't include...

    Difficulty at Pilgrims Office in Santiago

    This isn't necessary for Pilgrims coming from much further away. There are some good threads elsewhere on the forum about rules for stamps: see JohnnyWalker's posts.

    Sleeping in the starlight

    I've slept out twice so far (CF) and hope to do so again through this walk to Finisterre and Muxia. Ultralight hammock, adequate bag and liner - still chilly at night. Have found some pleasant forest spots with soft, clear and dry floors and moved 100-150m off of the camino. Some of the...

    David's Cantina Outside Astorga

    Thank you so much for this insight. I stopped and chatted with David a few days ago...felt such peace and kindness, which is what I hope to carry on my Camino and beyond. Thanks to him and to Suzie for a welcome hot coffee, some yummy cake and a spoonful of peanut butter - all given with love...

    Anyone doing the Camino in April 2016

    My plan is to start from St. Jean Pied-de-Port on April 14 (or the following day, if necessary for the weather). If you've any thoughts to share on prolonged perambulation and Patanjalic practice, I'm also (loosely) planning a wee daily practice to help my body to stay in balance from the...
