    Yet another accommodation thread

    It's not so much to help him, it was more about my curiosity.. he's happy with private places. The point I was (failing) to make is that I'd like him to ask but he won't. If they had a bed he wouldn't want it and have to try and explain that he was only asking to satisfy a nosey person sat at...

    Yet another accommodation thread

    Hi all, just a quickie, My friend is near Leon and has fallen into the booking . Com panic as he doesn't want to risk not getting a bed. The word on the street is that beds are few and far between. I'm thinking he should have a walk around and try and find out the municipal situation but he...

    Chilly camino

    Randy is currently staggering his way toward Fromista (if anyone near there spots a handsome, if slightly bewildered looking, Canadian, be sure to say hello!) I fly out May 18th and will track him down using my newly invented device I like to call the Randytracker2000 (patent pending)...

    Chilly camino

    I've walked several caminos but always in warm sunny weather. I couldn't bear 2 weeks in the rain. It's the polar opposite of what I consider acceptable. 🐻

    Oops, good spotting! Edited so I look like I know what I'm talking about. 😃

    Chilly camino

    Hi all, just a quickie. My friend is currently on the CF just after Burgos and has reported back to me that it's quite cold and damp. I plan to meet up with him mid May and I don't fancy walking in the rain. My question is, is there someone on here I could speak to to arrange a bit of sunny...

    Free poles! (Not a poll)

    I could also carry them to Santiago? Is there not someone there that collects them and occasionally transports them further back down the camino?

    Free poles! (Not a poll)

    SJPDP to Santiago in 8 days - 85km per stage

    I prefer it when things are less predictable 🥰

    LIVE from the Camino O cebriero

    Hi all, just a quickie.. May I suggest that if you plan to start a camino from just before O Cebreiro that you do some training that involves a hill or two.. I have just climbed it on day 2 of my minicamino and it nearly did me in !! I watched my dvd of the way 3 times before I set off, I...

    3 days to go!

    Hi all, just a quickie, I set off from Villafranca del Bierzo on Sunday with a plan to walk 9 shorter days.. there's a very strong chance I won't be getting anywhere near Santiago. This will be the first time I've walked and not ended at the cathedral and it just feels kind of... Odd? I'm not...

    Camino prep

    Oh dear, after 49 years of kebabs there's a very slim chance I'll hit 98.. in fact that's the only slim thing about me

    Camino prep

    Hi all, just a quickie, I start my camino in just under two weeks.. I only decided to book a Camino a week or so ago, meaning I've had a total of 3 weeks to prepare. After 49 years of eating only pizza, kebab and chips I've been eating salad for the last 10 days but it doesn't seem to be making...

    Shells

    Hi all. Does anyone know if/where I can pick up a shell for my backpack in Villafranca del Bierzo? I've never started halfway alone a route before and will need two of them. Sybil (mum) keeps all mine on her wall and will be sad if I don't bring her one back

    Advice please

    Hi Izzy, if you get one of those trailers I would quite happily get towed the full length of the camino and wouldn't think twice about what others thought. I'd even swap places and let you have a go down some of the hills! Everyone has already given you all the advice needed so I'll just agree...

    Lurking around O Cebreiro

    There! I've edited in an extra few words which makes me sound totally normal and safe!!

    Lurking around O Cebreiro

    Hmm yes I see your point! If it makes it any less sinister I'm actually walking with my girlfriend. We haven't got much of a plan or a goal. Just set off from Villafranca del Bierzo and see where we get to. Obviously there will be plenty of people to meet along the way but it would be nice to...

    Lurking around O Cebreiro

    Hi all, just a quick one. We plan on being around o Cebreiro (in a completely pleasant and none suspicious way) between July 29-aug 8th.. We won't be doing full stage days. Just trundling and enjoying the scenery and the food (and wine). If you're in the area around that time look me up and we...
