    pilgrim meltdown

    Buena I truly hope you find peace on the Camino. If it's any consolation (and it usually isn't in the moment) many have passed through what you're going through (including myself) and come out the other end intact! Hang in there. You're going to meet some wonderful people on the Camino...

    Some pretty silly questions.

    Thanks Artemis for opening this thread. Nothing silly about these questions. They're as essential to talk about as buying backpacks or shoes and what season to walk the Camino in. Cilento, I have a terrible fear of dogs too. I have now walked the Camino francés two times. Because of my...

    Travelling with baby

    Hi all When I walked the Camino francés this year in September, I met an Argentinian woman with her one-year old daughter. There were a few problems. Heat (even in September) as well as getting access to medical attention when the baby fell a little ill at Puente La Reina. At the time...

    Goodbye to my walking friends

    Hi all I’ve just got back from Santiago after walking the Camino francés. The people I met were just wonderful and were the highlight of the Camino for me. Despite the Camino rush phenomenon and my last 100km coinciding with the busy 12 Oct Spanish public holiday, I was really impressed...

    Too hot for vikings

    LOL Liv I'm in Logroño today and since SJPdP have met quite a few Danes who have all suffered terribly from the heat. But in fairness, I live in Rome which is quite a hot and humid city and was still unprepared for this hot weather in September. And I haven't hit the meseta yet...

    A journey against quite a few odds

    Dear Liv And I thought I was the only one. As I write, I am in bed trying to recover from a pulled muscle in my back. I injured myself at home the day before I was supposed to leave! I have rescheduled for 5 Sept and like you I'm a little worried I won't make it. But I now intend to...

    The Camino rush

    Dear Lynne and John That was a truly beautiful post. It seems things have become much more competitive since I walked the camino in 2003. I'm going to print your post and keep it with me as I travel to remind me if things begin to get a little too "rushed". I'm determined to do this at...

    LIVE from the Camino I did it my way..

    Congratulations Bernd I remember that feeling of arriving in Santiago three years ago. In a few months time, I hope to have the same sensation again. While you are in the Cathedral Bernd, say a prayer also for world peace. As you know we live in very troubled times. All the best John :)

    One Step Closer

    Sinenomene, what you say is so true. I found buying my tickets a little scary because it was finally committing to it. But since then, my preparations have been fun. I can't wait to start on 1 Sept. :D John

    The Camino rush

    Hi there Judging from my experience a few years back, I think different people will always approach things differently. There are some people who approach the camino and getting shelter for the night competitively. But I think it's fair to say that not everyone treats it like this so perhaps...
