    Singapore Pilgrims?

    Yes I did mention Alvin’s book in a post a good while ago. I thought that I had lost my copy so bought another - only to then find the first one! Such is life. A good book to read again and again. All the best to you both and hope to get back on the Camino soon. I was to have left for my 3rd...

    Singapore Pilgrims?

    I should have added that a book by Singaporean writer Alvin Tan with sketches and commentary of his Camino Frances, which I purchased from a little book shop in Tiong Bahru, was instrumental in my own Camino journeys. Highly recommended. Cooee

    Singapore Pilgrims?

    In my heart I am ‘Singaporean-in-part’ having lived there a few times and still visiting from Aust regularly (In normal times anyway) - over the past 46 years. Was last there in mid-Feb this year. Happy to meet up for a Camino chat when we can travel again. PM me if you like. All the best to you...

    Departing SJPdP 13 Aug19

    I will be departing SJPdP 13 Aug19 for my second Camino Frances. I did my first Sep-Oct last year, had a wonderful experience and have been unable to get it out of my mind ever since then! Have caught the Camino bug well and truly. I was planning to walk from Porto, then do the Ingles and down...

    Mini-bus transport Biarritz Airport to SJPdP 12 Aug19 - Seats Available.

    I will be flying into Biarritz Airport at 1230 hrs on 12 August 2019. I have booked a seat (and hopefully not the whole bus just for me!) on the Bourricot mini-bus leaving at around 1245-1300 hrs for St Jean Pied de Port - a one hour trip. If this suits your timing book a seat with Bourricot...

    A Combo Camino

    I completed my first Camino last Sep/Oct - the CF. It was wonderful and as I have posted previously, I have definitely caught the Camino bug. I asked for input from Forum Members a few months ago about my 2nd Camino in Apr/May this year - re-do the CF, or the CP from Lisbon? I had great feedback...

    Need Help Building a Camino Marker

    What to do with those tiles you buy in SdC? Make a Camino Marker of course. Mine is made from a Hebel (aerated concrete) block. About 3/4 size: 600 hi, 200 deep, 300 wide at the base and 160 wide at the top. All mm. You can cut Hebel with a hand saw and shape it with a rasp or chisel and then...

    Departing ST Jean Thursday 20 Sep.

    All the agonising over packing lists is finished. I fly out of Brisbane Australia tomorrow 17 Sep for my first CF. I start walking from St Jean Thursday 20 Sep. I am excited, but a little apprehensive as well. I feel as well prepared as I can be: physically, practically and emotionally - mostly...

    Getting Old.

    A great uplifting thread for my before breakfast read here in Oz. If only an extra pair of glasses was my only packing worry. I am shortsighted so will need an extra clear pair plus sunglasses - total 3 pairs. As I look forward to my first Camino in Sep this year - approaching 67 - I have a...
