    alternative accommodation from SJPDP to Pamplona

    @Ann O Niell Alternatively you could camp if money is a problem and you are set against pilgrim accomodation? :-)

    Ah Falcon my friend :-) what you say is true - if you are a humanist and/or believe we cannot consciously alter those subconscious impulses. This is a question of free will. Not necessarily in the 'religious' sense, but rather whether one believes ultimately that our 'brain' has made a decision...

    sleeping outside

    Johnny - i must admit to being a little mischievous in my 'defining tolerance' comment :-) Tolerance is an expression used a lot in society (and forums) as something to be admired. I was merely pointing out that by definition it should be the least one should expect of ourselves and others and...

    "The Way" movie being released??

    I never dare to presume what Christ would do! After all - "the celebrities and their allied marketeers" are not in the "temple" peddling their wares in this instance are they? And i for one have donated to a cause i would not have been aware of had it not been publicised in the media because...

    Johnny to tolerate someone is quite simple theory as the definition of 'tolerate' in your instance is "allow the existance, occurrence, or practice of (something that one dislikes or disagrees with) without interference." and "accept or endure (someone or something unpleasant or disliked) with...

    sleeping outside

    Well Johnny be careful about mentioning sleeping in hotels - to some people that means your not a proper 'pilgrim' *wink* Truth is whatever way you sleep, where you stay and however you decide to walk to Santiago de Compostela the Camino de Santiago you undertake is your own and is therefore...

    sleeping outside

    Hey Johnnyman :-) If walking 25+ kilometers a day, everyday, for 20+ days, with a backpac that can feel heavier everyday, breathing in the wonderful fresh spanish country air followed by a nice beer or glass of wine at the end of the day doesnt tire you out and give you a deep sleep then i dont...

    Open Churches and Mass along the way

    @falcon It could have been a reasonable suggestion to just "walk in France" had it not been for the fact that you have to enter Spain at SOME point if you are to reach Santiago de Compostela last time i checked :-) and thus, for Catholics travelling to Compostela, your suggestion seems ill...

    sleeping outside

    @Skilsaw A good point you mentioned about donating for using the services at any place. Although this will be my first Camino de Santiago i have walked and camped on various trails and on two other 'pilgrimages' and i find it always in everyones best interests to ask politely if you can use a...

    @johnnyman Sorry if my post has taken your thread off topic. If anyone wants to discuss anything other than 'Sleeping Outside' (the original topic here) let us create a new thread for it :-)

    sleeping outside

    @ffp13 Thanks for your comments. However i have been using ultra lightweight solar chargers for over 4 years now on my wild camps. Over the years i have learnt to use any electronic devices i take sparingly :-) Wild camping is my prefered choice of sleeping. The rest of my camino will not be...

    sleeping outside

    @renegadepilgrim I will be using a compatible data sim for my phone. (Threads on this subject are plentiful) Then, if my phones built in automatic photo geotag software works, i will simply upload the photos from my phone to my blog. The photo will be automatically linked to my Flickr account...

    "The Way" movie being released??

    Re:"The Way" movie being released?? Let us not dismiss the "cult of celebrity" so readily as something 'tragic'. The hundreds of millions of dollars/pounds such celebrity founded ideas as Live Aid, Band Aid, Comic Relief etc has generated for charities aiding the most disadvantaged in the...

    sleeping outside

    I am camping every night on my camino whether it be on refuge 'lawns', places recommended along the way (though not campsites) or simply wild camping. (Plenty of discussions about the pro's and con's of wild camping in these forums) I will be geo tagging my locations and posting to my blog my...

    "The Way" movie being released??

    Re:"The Way" movie being released?? "Trying moments"? "Members taking umbrage"? "Dicey moments"? Whatever do you mean Arn? *wink* Like the Camino and life itself these forums are filled with wonderful people with wonderfully similar and differing opinions and i for one wouldn't have it any...

    "The Way" movie being released??

    Re:"The Way" movie being released?? Now there is an idea for those 'reality tv' execs. Something along the lines of "I'm A Pilgrim - Get Me Out Of Here"? Imagine a tv crew following a group of 'celebrity' pilgrims on the Frances as they face such perils as blisters, bed-bugs, over weight...

    "The Way" movie being released??

    Re:"The Way" movie being released?? Ah falcon i think you ARE "missing something". I don't think the movie was made for you personally (shocking as that may seem to you :-D) nor indeed for anyone in particular whether those who have walked the camino or not. And i am not sure Mr Sheen made the...

    March/April on the Camino Frances

    I have read Sil's and other blogs on the subject of "winter walking' so thank you for sharing. What I would like to know is what are the 'usual' conditions along the Camino Frances during March and April? I appreciate the weather can be, and often is, unpredictable but is deep snow and bitter...

    SNORING!! I am the Champion!

    Ah Mike. If only all snorers were as considerate as you! Maybe snorers could walk their pilgrimage at night? Could be a whole new way of walking a Camino lol. Of course i am only joking! I snore sometimes. Allegedly. Still not had the proof though. Lol. Then again i camp so there is no one to...
