    Hello My Wonderful Camino Family

    Bienvenido Davebugg, I'm so sorry to hear about the medical problems and am glad things are improving. Although it's been said, many times, many ways...take it easy, friend. The Colorado Rockies await and the Camino is always here. You, otoh, are irreplaceable. Be well.

    To be lost on the Camino

    So true. Turning back feels just wrong on the camino (or elsewhere) but it almost never is the wrong thing to do. Was saved by an angel farmer of the male variety after walking an extra 6 km on a 35km day on the Primitivo. I will not forget that day and turning back now sounds very appealing...

    A camino aborted (or maybe completed) plus bonus toe question

    Bruising ("black and blue") can result from the walking. Walking so many kms is trauma enough for many toes. I agree with the above advice to see a doctor if you have medical issues but wearing protective soft and padded shoes and resting for a month will probably see that black and blue fade...

    Autumn on the Meseta

    In spite of walking along the road through that stretch, to me the Meseta was breath taking and I cannot wait to walk it again. I loved those trees when they were green and I know I will love them in autumn as well. Thanks so much for posting :)

    Read Before You Walk!

    Maybe we should add to our 'what to bring' suggestions that if you are renting a bike to ride the Camino, BRING YOUR OWN BELL. And be prepared to attach it.

    Read Before You Walk!

    I disagree. We heard the bells when used and thanked those cyclists profusely for using them.

    Distances fitness versus tiredness

    Hi Lockslie, my experience was each day was easier for my legs but after about 4 weeks (with 3 left to go), I was becoming fatigued. Any day of heat slowed me down tremendously no matter how much fluid I drank. Please do not push yourself in the heat; people have died of heatstroke walking the...

    Caminotec Outdoor Gear shop - Pamplona

    They took a while to respond to a message I sent them a few months ago but eventually responded. Persist! The shop was definitely open in April, though!

    Looking for Heidi

    I don't think you're overreacting at all. If it were MY mom and 9 days had gone by with the conditions we are experiencing and her promise to stay in touch, I would be asking about her well-being, too. I think you are being responsible. As a mom, I appreciate your concern. I'm sure you'll...

    Training Chat - mutual support for first time pilgrims

    With stairs, you're working on strengthening so like any strengthening exercise, think of it as reps and sets. Maybe you start with 10 steps as a set (or whatever a flight of steps is where you are could work). Do one set. Go down. Do another set... I can't tell you how many sets to start...
