    From York, North Yorkshire, UK

    Excellent. I've only cycled the route in Spain - there is great information here which will serve you well. I'd be fascinated to more about your plans and your journey once you've achieved your goal. I wish you the very best with your endeavours. Do please ask whatsoever - people here are...

    The Language Barrier @$#^%*&

    let's not confuse language with communication - we can use the same language and not communicate what we mean or understand each other without use the same word system. understanding via words is easily overrated. Listening has worth beyond talking. Mere functional nouns, a smattering of...

    Hiking both directions

    Be encouraged - many have travelled thus. The time would have been when it would, logically, have been not worthy of note. Your walking experience stands you in good stead. When we were cycling the route - in Cacabelos - we met a cyclist returning home to Holland. His pace was unrushed...

    FINALY i met a forum member,

    Re: FINALY i met a forum member, after walking and cycling the camino, we reflected that it was incredible that we met on the camino someone we had met 3 years previously on the camino over supper in the same restaurant. when we returned from living in Spain we moved to a small fishing village...

    1st timer starting in Leon mid-July 2012 :)

    Leon itself is marvellous but, as wisely stated above, the exit and subsequent strethches are anything but glorious. I would aim to linger going through the Maragateria, the hills, go visit the Valle del Silencio and spend longer enjoying the sumptious cuisine of the Bierzo around Cacabelos...

    Mental Preparation Are you ready ?

    I empathise entirely. I am preparing for my long awaited return to the Camino. Physically every day, mentally and emotionally too. I have a protracted history of depression and am no stranger to anxiety and panic - ghastly and crippling they truly are. I wish you well in the lovely city of York...

    hello from Glastonbury uk

    brilliant - thank you ever so much for your insight and experience. Every strength and kind wish to you. I camp near Shepton Mallet for a week each year - I also studied in Bristol and played in brass bands round Glastonbury. You are fortunate indeed to live where you do. I'd love to live down...

    Class of 2012 Bicycle

    Excellent - I love the sound of your plan and wish you the very best in its preparation and fulfilment in its execution. You will love it, I'm sure. I'm preparing for my 4th cycle of the camino - this will be my second on bike. There is a wealth of information here that will satiate your desire...

    The Journey Before THE Journey

    Excellent post - so much that many of us can instantly connect with. I wish you the very best - it will be so fulfilling to undertake the way and reach Santiago but you may well find that the journey will not end there, it has been with you for so long already.

    Will I ever get around to walking the camino?

    I am sure that time, tide and circumstance will converge and it will happen when it best should. Neither the camino nor the yearning for it will disappear. To undertake selected parts sounds enticing. It is, after all, the journey not the destination that is the quest. You are already there.

    Afraid to take a chance!

    Hi there. well, truth be told my life collapsed into anxiety, depression and socio-phobia. 10 years. i obsess, worry, think and reflect time without end on detail after detail of so many choices. I walked the camino and cycled it as well - 3 time but all before these changes. next year I...

    Camino October

    I wish you every kind thought for your journey. Please consider looking even just a little bit beyond the narrowest of paths and the way well trodden. So much is missed by so many. Great marvels are often just by the main routes yet so few seem to go that way as pilgrims would have in slower...

    Preparation

    I hope that this is appropriate and that it fits here. I have walked and cycled the Camino 3 times and now, 2 decades or so, major non-physical health problems - disability, twin sons and a very changed life later I am preparing to return. An emotional thought. As a full time parent time is not...
