    Grenwich meridian

    Nice to hear that Russian Trains is now on time zone time, as 4 years ago when my wife and I took the TSR to Beijing it was very confusing especially as my Ipod would change with the time zones. Then a year later I joined our son on a trip to Lhasa from Beijing, where he was working for the...

    Here's the real deal. My wife and a good friend. Excuse the references as I sent this pic off to our granddaughters.

    Should Rock Stacking be Banned?

    Wow what a discussion. I am presently on the Piemont/Pyrenee path and thank goodness there was a little pile of rocks in two places otherwise I would have had to follow three different paths to find a marker. Bon chemin

    Distances fitness versus tiredness

    I've been sitting in the shade out front the gite thinking more about walking and fitness. Like I and several others have noted - walking in the heat is not pleasant. You want it to be (somewhat) fun. One has to remind oneself that it is "the way" and not the destination. I won't reach Santiago...

    Distances fitness versus tiredness

    Hello Locksley The answer to that is pretty simple but can vary greatly due to circumstances. Three years ago walking from Geneva i could cover 20 kms no problem. By the time I reached the Norte, (50 days later) 30 kms became the norm. Now I am on the Piemont/ Pyrenees route and have been...

    Using maps dot me for El Norte

    Hello CaminoJoy123 I've been reading this post and I used Jsalts method when I walked the Norte. It really is very straight forward. But.. and this a sort of big but: you don't have to follow the route as indicated exactly as there are a number of variants which can make the walk a bit more...

    Walking the Camino from Paris to St Jean

    Hello Kits First of all, I haven't walked the route but approx. 20 years ago my son rode the route or I should say routes as he went from Hamburg to Lisbon and at the time was not aware of the Camino de Santiago but knew he was on some sort of designated path because he kept seeing these funny...

    Length of albergue stay allowed

    Hello Merge On three occasions I awoke to the sound of pounding rain and did not feel like walking into it, so asked the Hospitalaro if I could stay another night and was never denied. Although I had to be out of the albergues from about 10AM to 3 PM which was fine with me. Buen Camino

    Over 65

    Wow, when I first looked at this thread this morning there were only a few replies and I thought I had better put something down to re-assure you that extensive training is not necessarily necessary. Remember that we are all different. Before my older brother (he was 67 at the time and still...

    Extra days, where to spend them, suggestions.

    Hello ShellsG After reaching Santiago I spent three days there just looking, watching, strolling about eating and drinking many coffees. Then, because I felt quite walked out as I had walked from Geneva, I took the bus to Finisterre where I spent another three days. I really like that little...
