    LIVE from the Camino Ethics Question -- to walk or not to walk?

    I've only just come to this thread, and am wondering how you've been getting on today. Maybe much has changed in the past few hours! Bearing that in mind, things that strike me: She wants to share everything with you, and loved the excitement of it all when it was at the planning stages. Maybe...

    LIVE from the Camino Second time in SJPdP

    I sometimes think that being nomadic is the most natural thing and that on some level we know this, that genetically we haven’t evolved beyond this state, and this is why the Camino feels at times like being home, whereas home feels like… something that doesn’t quite fit. Anyway, enough...

    Please help me plan off-stages: After Sarria to Muxia/Finisterre

    Thank you for these replies! They're super-helpful. I haven't yet booked the sections after SdC, but will do so soon. I have booked in at Casa Morgade, though, @Katherine Radeka 🙂 🙏

    What is between Sarria and Santiago? And Muxia?

    Just to clarify—because perhaps the Englishness, or phrase, or just everything generally—doesn't come across to everyone online as it's intended… to me, the 'hole' I referred to in the subject line, was a lack of information about 'that bit' of the Way! Having not been there, I presume it's a...

    What is between Sarria and Santiago? And Muxia?

    Thank you for this! I'm currently working with those stages as a rough plan

    What is between Sarria and Santiago? And Muxia?

    Thank you for this! I've booked us in there. Very straightforward on the phone, and it fits perfectly with our stages and distances.
  7. Lhollo

    What is between Sarria and Santiago? And Muxia?

    Please tell me anything—anything!—about the section from just after Sarria to Santiago. And then on to Muxia and Finisterre. I’m trying to plan to stay between main towns but really need help to know what not to miss, and whether there are any casa rurales/albergues with private rooms that are...

    Please help me plan off-stages: After Sarria to Muxia/Finisterre

    You may have spotted my previous post about which route to choose as the conclusion of our three year Camino Frances. I’m now part way into making bookings. We’ll continue the CF and walk next June, but choose off-stages. I’m hoping this will mean we can avoid hoards and find some tranquility...

    LIVE from the Camino Lindsey’s Belorado to Sarria Adventures (Camino Frances Part II)

    You may have gathered that I gave up on the Live thread while I was on the Camino! I didn’t mean for that to happen but found I relaxed more into the Camino when I fully stopped worrying about having to do things at each destination. I will add to this thread, though, when I have clear time, so...

    LIVE from the Camino Lindsey’s Belorado to Sarria Adventures (Camino Frances Part II)

    It’s Lindsey Holland Walks. I’ve been adding a couple of videos from the section up to Belorado and have just posted others up to Burgos too. I’ll keep adding them day by day.

    LIVE from the Camino Lindsey’s Belorado to Sarria Adventures (Camino Frances Part II)

    Sorry for the slow response! My monocular is an Opticron 8 x 25 T4 Trailfinder. I wouldn’t be without it on the Camino now. I have a larger one which I use at home, when extra weight is often just good Camino preparation 😊

    LIVE from the Camino Lindsey’s Belorado to Sarria Adventures (Camino Frances Part II)

    I woke early and checked the weather in Foncebadon—our destination for the day—to see that ‘light thundershowers’ were due at 12 noon, followed by ‘thunderstorms’ at 1pm. We couldn’t pack fast enough! Because we hadn’t had breakfast, we stopped briefly on the outskirts of Astorga for coffee and...

    LIVE from the Camino Lindsey’s Belorado to Sarria Adventures (Camino Frances Part II)

    I’m sorry I haven’t updated for a few days, yet again! I think part of what I’m trying to process during this part of my Way relates to time, and to what I record and why I write. I’m trying to message people at home, too, and really don’t know where the spare hours go! To jump forward a...

    LIVE from the Camino Lindsey’s Belorado to Sarria Adventures (Camino Frances Part II)

    Mercedes is still there! She’s utterly wonderful isn’t she? I saw her husband but didn’t speak with him. A younger lady, Cristina, was there too. I presume she’s their daughter but am not sure. There were poppies all around, and their veg garden was looking very healthy, but no cherries at this...

    LIVE from the Camino Lindsey’s Belorado to Sarria Adventures (Camino Frances Part II)

    Sorry! I should have explained that the foot pain is referrred pain from the sciatica! I’ve edited it above. I’ve explained it a little more in my reply to JWillhaus just above, because she’d also picked up on my oversight. 🙏

    LIVE from the Camino Lindsey’s Belorado to Sarria Adventures (Camino Frances Part II)

    Ah, I should have explained that the foot pain is referrred pain from the sciatica! I’ve edited it above. I didn’t mean the usual foot pain, it’s more foot nerve pain, and the shoes do make a difference to it. Thanks for your kind wishes! 🙏

    LIVE from the Camino Lindsey’s Belorado to Sarria Adventures (Camino Frances Part II)

    You’re spot on with the Reed Warbler. I’ve been listening to videos of them, and zoomed in on my photos in my other camera. Thank you for your lovely comment! I’m very glad you’re enjoying my accounts 🙏😃

    LIVE from the Camino Lindsey’s Belorado to Sarria Adventures (Camino Frances Part II)

    I wanted to post something sooner than this but a combination of events have caused me to delay until now. I’d expected to have time during my rest day in León: this didn’t happen, because of a medical issue. Im also trying to let myself relax fully and not worry about not writing down what I’ve...

    LIVE from the Camino Lindsey’s Belorado to Sarria Adventures (Camino Frances Part II)

    Ooooh, how exciting, that you’ve been following this thread and will soon be here too! You must say hello if you spot me. Please do. I always have a Buen Camino for cyclists. I hope your preparations and early stages go brilliantly! Buen Camino in advance, for Burgos onwards!

    LIVE from the Camino Lindsey’s Belorado to Sarria Adventures (Camino Frances Part II)

    A few months ago, when I had more or less decided to opt for the Roman route, I read your full thread about your husband’s time there, in leisurely detail! It was absolutely wonderful! Every day, I was hoping he’d have pilgrims, or that he’d have firewood, or a saw to cut it with, m or that the...
