Starting my (mental) journey
"No Problemo" Absolutely no offense was taken. I wrote that post back in 2007 and I based it on my own experience and I was 64 at the time. I'm now 74 and beginning planning to combine the first of the Camino de Madrid with the Camino Sanabres. It will be my 6th and 7th Caminos. I cannot find...- John Hussey

Walking alone May 2009
As for the first two sentences above, it is quite common for a female to inquire as to the relative safety of an area she might visit, no matter where she might be from. That specific question is repeated frequently and seems to occupy a lot of space on the Camino forums. The answer, of course...- John Hussey

Do you feel safe in Australia? Regrettably, you are not without crime in your beautiful country either! Australia statistics, same year, 2006: Homicide 295 Assault 166,499 Sexual Assault 18,172 Robbery 16,787 Kidnapping...- John Hussey

Walking alone May 2009
here is one thread that just appeared above yours when I looked for "new topics": camino-crime-watch/topic4204.html I (male) have walked the Camino Frances and 1/2 the VdlP and have yet to hear of anyone being mistreated in any way. In fact, I found it quite the reverse. Perhaps another female...- John Hussey

Walking alone May 2009
It is quite safe. Search the forum as there are many threads about this very subject. And, in May, you will meet many other walkers such as yourself. In fact, directly you shall likely become part of a very large "family" of them, that you will continue to see, walk off and on with, spend time...- John Hussey

Jersey Girl feeling a strong tug to walk THE Walk

Getting to know you all....
Just ask away, because the only 'stupid' questions are those not asked! If you are an avid walker, then even at 60 you shall likely discover that you are slower than some yet faster than others so, don't worry. Buen Camino!- John Hussey

WALKING THE CAMINO IN OCTOBER 2007
I hadn't quite thought of it like that before, but I totally agree with you. In fact, the planning, pondering and preparation for it can often turn into a very exciting prelude, often lasting many months,to the actual trip itself.- John Hussey

WALKING THE CAMINO IN OCTOBER 2007
Re: WALKIGN THE CAMINO IN OCTOBER 2007 I cannot recall any negative happening on the Spanish side of the Camino Frances when I walked it in October and part of November, 2005. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I found the Spaniards I encountered along the Camino to be some of the...- John Hussey

WALKING THE CAMINO IN OCTOBER 2007
Re: WALKIGN THE CAMINO IN OCTOBER 2007 Plus, remember Irache, where the curing wine was available from a free tap? The vineyards one walks through in Navarra and Rioja are immense, horizon to horizon fields of grapes with each vine carrying huge quantities of cabernet chavignon and extremely...- John Hussey

WALKING THE CAMINO IN OCTOBER 2007
Re: WALKIGN THE CAMINO IN OCTOBER 2007 They really do not mind at all. Only the uppermost grapes are harvested and the lower ones are plucked from the vine and dropped to the ground and left behind. It was explained to me that the grapes with the highest alcohol potential (sugar?) were those...- John Hussey

WALKING THE CAMINO IN OCTOBER 2007
Re: WALKIGN THE CAMINO IN OCTOBER 2007 October is a beautiful time to go. You wilol shortly find yourself walking through immense fields of ripe grapes, hundreds of pounds of them hanging from the vines as October seems to be the harvest month for them. Try and take those dangling from the...- John Hussey

hola!
Mine were 62 when I did it. Now it is my back which is becoming tender and painful and is causing me a little distress because of my upcoming trip doing the VdlP beginning mid October. I am trying to let it heal rather than train. I guess gray hair comes with a few more strings attached...- John Hussey

hola!
Boots? Note that the French Pilgrim was not wearing boots. He was wearing sandals! i walked the Way in sandals, too and found them considerably more functional than heavy leather boots. The mud was a drawback to them, though, as was the numerous piles of cow droppings in Galicia. Perhaps...- John Hussey

Starting my (mental) journey
Walking and the Body You might give yourself a little more credit for physical stamina. Unless you have some debilitating affliction which would preclude it, walking is an amazingly good exercise for your body, particularly so for some of those mildly arthritic joints. While they may hurt more...- John Hussey

dogs
\ I had no bad encounters with dogs. Some barked, though, but were behind their master's fence and the barks sounded more like obligatory ones, never menacing ones. I had read Shirley Mclaine's book and, walking through fromista, gave a few furtive glances around looking for that pack of wild...- John Hussey
