    LIVE from the Camino Cleanagrenos

    I struggled at first with all the new pilgrims setting off from Sarria, with there bouncy attitude, clean clothes, lack of backpacks, filling the cafes and constant chattering. I had to sort out my thoughts and feelings quickly cause I realised I was the one dampening my camino not them. They...

    Lost "spirit "on camino today

    I'm also in Santo Domingo today and happily paid the 3 euro for entrance. Twas truly amazing. As for the toilet roll sign I'm walking with someone for the last couple of days who openly admitted to taking the whole toilet roll from the golf course today. It made me feel very uncomfortable and I...

    A road paved with scallop shells must surely be a sign?

    Definitely time to lace up those boots. That's a scream of a sign if ever I saw one, how cool

    Reservations at Refuge Orisson

    I had the smoothest booking experience with Jean-Jacques at the beginning of February. He contacted me when he received the payment and another email to say he was looking forward to seeing me in April this year, very kind. It took all of 3 days to finalize it all. Sweet :D

    When to book Orisson??

    On the 30th Jan I booked a night at Orisson and received a confirmation email and a Paypal invoice by the 2nd February, how quick was that :) I was worried I'd have trouble with the booking or I had left it too late but all is well. Happy days. Another tick off my list, which is slowing...

    Can't seem to press the button...

    Hi Karen, absolutely yes. When I finally pushed that button (after weeks of staring at it) I received an email saying my payment couldn't go through. I was crushed, then it took over a week to go through the motions again (was I bring tested?). My palms got sweaty, heart raced, then I thought...

    SJPP to Roncesvalles – in praise of the lower route

    My concern is booking Orisson then not being able to take that route. It's such a dilemma but a fun and exciting one. Alex

    I had NO idea…

    Great expression of views Rachel and Falcon. Walking with 10 plus takes a lot of understanding and compassion for others. I remember years ago there was 10 of my family travelling Europe for 3 months and the times when even a couple of us became rigid the day became chaos. When we worked...

    My First Camino Meeting - How Surreal

    Hi Angela, thanks for your beautiful words. I've seen your questions and posts over time and you seem like you're a very gentle soul. I'm not surprised you have inspired others to walk The Way. I too have yet to walk the Camino and although I haven't inspired anyone to actually walk I've had...

    How About Work?

    We get 4 weeks a year(very fortunate), I haven't had holidays since 2010 and now have plenty of leave to take. (it's hard to get away from my boss, he doesn't even believe in public holidays. Getting the boss use to the idea of me not being here for 6 to 8 weeks has taken him awhile to get use...
