    hello from the road!

    Granon I had two days at Granon, it was so lovely there. The Padre, who I`m ashamed to say I can`t remember his name was an amazing man and done the most amazing Pilgrim blessing and on my 1st night he took some of us Perigrinos up into the choir where we passed a candel around and took turns...

    miss the Meseta???

    job For years I did the work my father expected me to do Minkey, I hated it but from a young age it was what was expected of me and it was only 5 years ago I broke that chain and went back to college and learned a new skill, one I love to do, and one that I can do anywhere I chose, so it is...

    miss the Meseta???

    free Sometimes I walked with people Minkey and sometimes I walked alone, quite often aactually, sometimes we would speak and sometimes I could walk in the company of someone else and not say a word for hours. Some of the Camino I needed to do alone and be on my own, but some of it even though...

    miss the Meseta???

    Walking Minkey Thanks for the invite but I`m sure I`m busy :wink: for a little while at least while my legs recover that is. Actually I start walking accross the uk on Sunday, I really have caught some kind of bug as I never walked anwhere before the Camino and now I`m walking from...

    miss the Meseta???

    Via Francigena Hmmm!! You are so very all knowing Sil. I just looked up the Via Francigena but I think it may be just a little to much for me, even though it surely is a wonderfull and beautifull way to go. Maybe you could try it out and let me know if I would be able to manage it? :wink:

    miss the Meseta???

    41K!!!!! Way too much for. On my 2nd days walking I walked from Cirauqui to Villamayor de Monjardin, about 23k I think and both Albergues were shut... Arghhh!!! Then had to walk another 12 or more to Los Arcos. Oh it was 8pm when I got there and all a little too much for the first days

    miss the Meseta???

    what to miss? Xm, loved the way I answered my own questions there :D I started in Pamplona and so missed the begining from SJPDP, 3 days walking. I think, personaly talking, your pilgrimage should be personal and the way you wish to do it. To take my advice on what if any parts to miss...

    miss the Meseta???

    Why do so many people miss the meseta out? and is this true that they do? While I was on the Camino I heard of many a peregrino getting a bus past this stage of the route but for me it was the best place for solitude and introspection and Some of the inner work that happened there for me was...

    .....

    socks I had some good advice and brought myself bridgedale socks and liners and I never had blisters. The wool they are made from even keeps the water in the thicker outer sock and even after walking through near knee high streams my feet remained dry to touch, though my boots are pretty good too

    Agés, albergue Caracol

    Same place? I think maybe a different place as this is a very old place and only just and still is being turned into a refuge and still under development. The house is lovely and old and has some original features, like grain storage spaces upstairs....

    Mucho Deniro?

    So much to think about here!! I must add this... I am most definately not looking at this as some kind of cheap holiday thats for sure... I am tryining to find something that I have over the years pushed deep inside and I`m struggling to get back. When I booked my flight I did not...

    Mucho Deniro?

    Hello People :D Could anybody who has walked the Camino please give me a rough idea of the very minimum amount of money needed to survive each day while out there? I leave on saturday and now that the time is close I am starting to fret even though I knew ages ago I`d be cutting things...
