Marska, just came down today. Was dry and doable. Not fun, but just went slow and made it. Its suppose to rain later and tomorrow, but forecast are not always right.
One of the comments on Wise Pilgrim said it was about 4km extra. I've seen mixed messages about walking the road, some say okay, others like in Wise Pilgrim say don't. I guess a lot depends on the weather. This one is a concern for me too since it will be my first long day of walking. Only...
Speculation on my part, but I think the delta between years is influenced by holidays which fluctuate (easter, festivals, etc). It might be a good overlay to see these in the data if you are looking to understand the deltas or looking to pick an ideal time to go. (fewer people)
Thanks, enjoyed your video. I'm thinking of doing the Sarria to Santiago first to see if I can make it given my arthritis in my hips. It is encouraging to see others making the journey.
Totally enjoyed following your path. Someday I hope to follow in your foot steps. Thanks for the info on the phone, you took a lot of wonderful pictures. Best wishes for your return to Canada. We say buen Camino for the walk, I imagine we need a phrase for the return home. For now have a...
Speaking of your pictures, which I really love. What are you using to take the pictures. And how are you measuring your distances. I would love to do that when I make it.
Really inspired by your walk. Thank you for putting in the effort to let us know how it is going and being willing to...
Very interesting that on the digital credential page it now is only 1.5 euros. I also love that YOU MUST MAKE THE DONATION. That could just be a translation issue, but you can now save money going digital.
"4. Donation. As in the physical Credential, you must make the donation indicated by...
Just another wild thought. Work with the church to give a compostela if you walk in reverse. Start in SDC and hand it out in SJPDP (or other end points). Pushes the traffic the other way. As long as SDC is a key requirement, the heavy traffic is at that end.
If you are trying to encourage peoples behavior and want to change it then you need a motivation. As a reward, a special compostela might not have enough impact. As many threads on the forum have shown, lot of people and repeat walkers don't claim the ones already available.
I would agree...
I agree with Philtration and yourself. I think I'll skip them on the hike and just on the flights over. I was intending to use audio (books and spanish language) while doing my training at home since I go over the same path a lot and I'm not contemplating the type of thoughts I expect to when...
I was wondering for myself if I should load up on some audio books for my phone to listen to while I walk. Or like this program, disconnect from electronics. I think this might be useful for all ages (I'm in my 60s), even though the portion of time using electronics is different for each...
