    Need adive about credentials

    Some places ask for a donation but you'll find plenty along the route, so it is up to you which ones to use. If you stopped at every place you could get a stamp, you would probably find the that the weight of the "pilgrim passports" required would become an issue! Wulf

    the end of the journey

    One of the strangest parts for me was the walk from Monte de Gozo down into the city. It felt very alien to be descending back into a bustling, everyday town, not least because the route marking becomes sporadic and you hardly get a glimpse of the cathedral until you're right upon it. Wulf

    We are all real pilgrims

    For many of us, the days of walking down the well-worn paths that lead to Santiago de Compostela (I deeply appreciate the image of "perpetual pilgrimage" mentioned above) is just part of the journey. We begin much further back, in the comfort (or otherwise) of our own homes, planning and...

    Transport Santiago-Sarria-O Cebreiro

    I think it is a great idea, especially with the fact that people can get a good measure of you by your interaction on this site (ie. I'd certainly trust you to get me from the airport to the starting point of my walk if I was planning another trip). Wulf

    Much faster by bike than by foot - your last two days where what my group covered in a week! Wulf

    Transport Santiago-Sarria-O Cebreiro

    It needs to stay somewhere on the cheap side - I put down for €50-60, working on the basis that the service includes pick up at the airport, help with bags and transport all the way to the albergues in Sarria and O'Cebreiro. I'm trying to remember what my actual costs were earlier this year...

    Planning the Camino Frances in April 2007

    When it starts to hurt, stop and take your feet out to air and get a break. Especially when you've got a long way ahead of you, it's better to listen to the first inklings of pain rather than trying to walk through it. Wulf

    Only 22 days to go... !

    The best preparation to walk a camino is to walk a camino... I'm sure you'll be fine. Blessings, Wulf

    Only 22 days to go... !

    It will be great. Have you got some preparatory walks planned before you head to the start of your Camino? Practically, they help break your gear in (and give you an idea of what you might leave behind); they might also be an opportunity to find some mental rest in the midst of everything...

    Finishing my camino

    I think the O'Cebreiro one is really stretched because a) it's at the top of a steep climb so many people who've walked from well before there decide it's a good resting point; b) it also provides a good starting point if you've got about 7-9 days for your camino; c) it is a fantastic place to...

    Walking backwards on the Camino?

    Every day I saw two or three people going the other way, all walking solo. You would be constantly walking in the opposite direction to everyone else and have very little opportunity for talking with others along the way (except at the albergues); I think that, if I wanted a walk like that, I...

    Starting(ish) tomorrow!

    Thanks - I'm now back and starting to publish my pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wulf/sets/72157594218799818/ I'm looking forward to reflecting on my experiences and getting more from them over the next couple of weeks (for now I'm here to just quickly catch up). Wulf

    Starting(ish) tomorrow!

    No posting from me for the next week or two - tomorrow morning my brother and I fly to Santiago de Compostela, catching the bus to Piedrafita on Saturday and starting on the camino itself on Sunday morning. I've been looking forward to this all year (since the last time)! See you on the...

    13 days, where to start?

    My trip, at the end of July, will take ten days in total: Fly to Santiago (1 day) Coach to Piedrafita (to join the Camino Frances at O'Cebreiro) (1 day) Walk back to Santiago (7 days) Return home (1 day) It would be easy to stretch that distance over a couple more days - you could have...
