    IMPORTANT: Advice for pilgrims setting off APRIL 2013

    I'm writing this from Estella, five days into my Camino and I can echo the posts about mud, there's lots of it so bring poles to help with balance if you can.

I have spent the last couple of months 'worrying' about the practical things, what to take, where to sleep, what brand is best, what to eat etc. Now that I have a good idea about those things I am turning to my inner...

    Beginning to lose heart.

    12 years ago I promised myself to walk El Camino and over the years I have made many excuses not to go. Too scared I suppose.
