    LIVE from the Camino How Far? - How long?

    As readers of the amazing account of my brave suffering (joke!) on my last Camino will recall I walked, or was it limped, earlier this year through Portugal. Because I had loved both the Portuguese people and countryside I decided to return, with my wife, for a holiday. And so we spent last week...

    Rest Days

    Hotels for Rest days. John, I thought I should share what little experience I have with you of hotels along the Portuguese route which I took, with a fellow pilgrim, late April this year. Redondela - stayed in the pilgrim hostel along with forty teenage pilgrims, we only got a night's sleep...

    The Final Chapter - How Many P's (Written on a rainy day in Santiago.) How many p’s are there in that phrase about planning and performance? Yes, I had pounded over 200 km of road in preparation, but mostly in a pair of comfortable shoes. Yes, my boots were old and trusted friends. Had we...

    Pilgrim's Progress Day Four - Ponte de Lima to San Roque Today found Pilgrim and MacGregor walking in dry, occasionally sunny, weather, having slept well and breakfasted at their hotel. They walked for some hours on cobbled roads through beautiful, Spring countryside. It then took them...

    Pilgrim's Progress Day Three - Barcelos to Ponte de Lima Pilgrim and MacGregor left Barcelos at 8 am in teeming rain - they got thoroughly soaked. The rain continued until early afternoon to be followed by hot sun. They had expected the day's walking to total approximately 29...

    Pilgrim's Progress Day 1 It was dark and chilly at 3.30 am yesterday morning as I nosed the car off the drive for the thirty five mile trip to Stansted, where Pilgrim was to board his flight to Porto for his pilgrimage to Santiago. We arrived in plenty of time; I said my tearful goodbyes...

    LIVE from the Camino Fever in the Blood

    WHERE TO STOP? Peter, Shani, Rosetta, It is truly cheering to come back to the 'discussion' board and find so many encouraging and thought provoking ideas posted. I wrote my 'WHERE TO BEGIN?' piece partly to explain to those who had read my 'FEVER IN THE BLOOD' article why I was starting...

    LIVE from the Camino Fever in the Blood

    WHERE TO BEGIN? Where does the pilgrimage begin? Spiritually in the head I suppose and intellectually with the planning, but where does the physical pilgrimage start? We all know that a wise man once said that ‘even a journey of a thousand miles must start with the first step’ but where...

    LIVE from the Camino Fever in the Blood

    Rosetta, Thank you for your kind words. I too hope for a 'pain free' journey. I hope your camino will be a good one too. My departure date is now getting very close so I am getting in some extra walking practice. I did 20km today with a pack, it went well but I fell asleep when I got home...

    Thanks and Good Luck!!! Shani, thank you for your kind wishes. May I also wish you good luck on your Camino from Leon.

    LIVE from the Camino Fever in the Blood

    Not 'blowing my own trumpet', just hoping fellow pilgrims will enjoy some brief notes, live, daily from the Camino. I say 'live daily' that is as long as my mobile phone finds reception, my phone charges aren't excessive and my wife can beat the technology and turn my daily recollections into...

    Planning to undertake the Camino Lusitano in August 2005

    Just read with interest that you are going to do the Portugues route. I am walking it with a fellow pilgrim in late April early May and will then be able to, hopefully, give some help. I am interested to hear, from Peter's reply, that the waymarking of the route exists. I am using the...
