    Best Albergues on CF from COVID/2020 or 2021 Experience?

    Exactly! :)

    The use of blackmail in the internet.

    Wise words as usual Falcon! Just for info, I hope to start the Ruta de lana from Alicante on Wednesday. I thought I might try and write an Alison style guide for it at the same time. It will be similar to the one I wrote for the Almeria Granada route in 2015. Best to you and yours. Kev.

    Backpacks in Churches, Museums, etc.?

    I dont know if this is relevant but you are not allowed, any more to take a pack into the chruch at Santiago. There several offices nearby where you can leave your pack for five Euros.

    Dear Deer....Mishap on the Meseta.

    Another brilliant story Gerard. Write a book, mate!

    The Tormentas! Beware the Tormentas!

    Haha, you're bloody mad, mate. Thanks for a good laugh!! I'm still sure you're related to the other Carey!!

    Of Heroes and Hobos

    Yes, it was Peter Carey, arguably one of the best ever Australian writers. I live in Norway, but I'm from Melbourne. I'm still not sure you're not related, reading that piece again, you have that slightly offbeat touch!

    Of Heroes and Hobos

    Nice story, mate. Are you any relation to the writer bloke? Sounds like it.

    SJPP-Finisterre: 17 days Y/N en pied?

    Grant, with all possible respect, this is not an athletics competition. Of course you can "do it" in 17 days but you will have no time to reflect, or learn or think. You will be forced to concentrate on the problems caused by too much walking over too many days. You will also have no time to...

    The Camino Is Not For Everyone

    To Jubilado - thanks for your remarks! Why ? Because of course they reflect my thoughts entirely!! And this was what I assume Reb was trying to say. Several times I have assisted people in ending their Camino because either physical or emotional circumstances prevented them from continuing...

    Has anyone walked The Camino Frances in February?

    Yes. In February/March 2004. There was a lot of snow round Pamplona and O cebreiro. Strong cold winds from Pamplona to Galicia. Extra gear (to that which you would take anyway). Good warm woollen cap. Snow gloves. Thermal underwear - light, quick dry (most important) Windproof/waterproof...

    New entry on my blog

    Hello Kelly, thinking back to when I first read your appeal I must have given blood three times. I have been donating blood every three months (Norway) since 1991. Same reason as you really. I was in an accident and nearly drowned when a rib punctured my lung. Got four pints because of other...

    Language issues

    Hello Brother David and thanks for many an interesting post. Particularly in the "New Age" debate. Must agree with other contributors disagreeing about males and languages. I learnt, of necessity, to speak fluent Norwegian when I was 26 to 29 and speak usable Spanish now I'm 60! BUT, you...

    'New Age' bores on the Camino

    Hello all, thanks for all the interesting comments. Rebekah was her caustic and accurate self, and Brother David's translation was I thought, beautiful and profound. I think we often take part in these discussions because they bring back to us in some small way the long and dusty road, and...

    BUEN CAMINO and GOOD WINE from...............

    Hello Javier, my guess is Cirauqui! Will send you a PM soon about Madrid. Were you on the Salvador? Best Kevin

    Stamp in Burgos at 7am...??

    Hello Anette, thanks by the way for some photos you posted a while ago. That would have been the Camino del Norte? Stamp in Burgos at 0653. Tall order. It would take a while to walk from the main station and although I have heard that the refugio in the park is now closed, there seems to be...

    Today Pamplona

    Fantastic photo Javier. Is it San Fermin or something of that nature? I seem to remember it's about that time of year. By the way, hope to see you in the autumn when we will set out to walk to Santiago from Madrid. All the best, Kevin and Kari

    The Peaceable: A New Place to Stop on the Meseta

    Hello Rebekah and thanks for the good news. My wife noticed a great deal of activity round your house when she passed through in October last year. This year we hope to be walking from Madrid to Santiago starting around the 10th of October. To get to Moratinos it seems to be fairly easy...
