medieval pilgrimage?
I met a man who wore no shoes and had just a thick white medieval cape over him. He seemed sane and was well respected by those who met him. If the worse comes to the worst the Camino has clothing shops :!: and even a post office from which you could send your medieval outfit to SdC (cheaper...- methodist.pilgrim.98

West Yorkshire guy needs to find himself out of the rat race
In terms of practical guides I recommend you look at and buy the CSJ guides. http://www.csj.org.uk. Lots of people here love John Brierley, but I am not a fan. The Cockershell Pilgrim by Katherine Lack is of no use to the modern pigrim, but it a great read and will provide a map on which to...- methodist.pilgrim.98

Walking in October
I have walked in October on two occasions. It is unpredictable. I have been frozen, wet and sunburned. You need to make sure you have a good waterproof coat and hat. Gloves. Not sure you would need thermal underwear. But be prepared to sling them on your rucksack because it could also be...- methodist.pilgrim.98

Help
While total panic is not helpful I would suggest that bit of apprehension is far better than over confidence. Rarely met anyone suffering from the former getting into trouble but the latter.... Trains, buses and taxis are available all along the Camino. Getting home is not a problem. If you...- methodist.pilgrim.98

One month to go before i begin the Camino Frances
James as someone who is a type 1 diabetic and originally hails from Doncaster I am sorry that we wont meet on the way. I leave on the 21st April and only have the time to get to Logrono so will be gone before you can catch up with me-if I was going to SdC I assure you would have done so. Please...- methodist.pilgrim.98

Thank You
Completely off topic but you look dead cool David. Enjoy your stint. Thom from someone who can't stay away from the Camino, start in St Jean. You are too far away to wake up one morning and think. Big Mistake in starting in Roncesvalles. You cannot make a quick, simple journey to rectify any...- methodist.pilgrim.98

Introduction
Welcome Eliza. Alas will not meet you but wish you well and to say that the proverb is superb. A new one on me but will be remembered.- methodist.pilgrim.98

This year it has to happen
Welcome to the forum and to the Camino. You will find all that you need to know via the search engine and perhaps may even feel there is too much advice! Remember the Camino is as much an art as a science and that is right for your family is what truly matters. For my 50th I too went to...- methodist.pilgrim.98

Camino Ingles September 2013
I spent my first night at Neda when I walked in June 2009. Agree about accomodation but managed in the albergues nicely. In Bentanoz the tourist office found me a room. This Camino is a bit hilly but if it is any consolation I managed Ferrol to SdC then A Coruna to SdC with a blocked artery...- methodist.pilgrim.98

Pilgrim
frequently. not an individual but an awareness of those who have gone before, those who are present now and those who will come. I use to be a no nonesense, logical Protestant who had no time for statues, ornate churches, the rosary, and with the preaching of the Word as central to worship...- methodist.pilgrim.98

Booked, stressed and oh hey from Brisbane.
Wardy, you think you've got problems? I am about to set off with an Aussie friend who is 9 years older than me, is super fit and thinks that leaping out of bed at 6.00am to be walking at 6.10 is the waste of a morning. We should have been up by 5.30! He's got a great sense of humour - at 6.00...- methodist.pilgrim.98

Pilgrim Blessing.
Lydia, bless you. I carry a hand written book of morning and evening prayer, Bible readings and rosary prayers with me on my Camino. I have just written this prayer into that book. Norman and I start from Burgos, maybe this Friday, certainly on Saturday. I will lead us in the prayer so we...- methodist.pilgrim.98

March 2012 anyone?
Actually Sheila if I were not at the limit of what I can carry (I have medical supplies to take) I might consider taking the liner as well as the bag. At Gonzar in December 2010 the heating was so high I had to firstly move bunks and then sleep on top of my sleeping bag. I felt I was in Nigeria...- methodist.pilgrim.98

Looking for a walking companion
Linda, if you live in Exeter you might look at flights from Bristol as well as London. You can get from Biaritz to SJPP via a bus that goes from the airport to Bayonne railway station and then take a train to SJPP, it will be cheaper and you will meet pilgrims on that train. Booking into...- methodist.pilgrim.98

March 2012 anyone?
Will be on the Camino on 2nd March but starting this time in Burgos and only walking as far as León. I am taking a lighweight sleeping bag. If any of you recognise me from my photo do come and introduce yourself.- methodist.pilgrim.98

Virgin Pilgrims 21st Feb 2012, Help request.
To echo what Johnnie said, I walked Sarria to SdC in December 2010. The municipal albergues were open though many of the private ones were shut. The one exception was Ligonde. It was necessary to walk a short distance further to Eirexe if you wanted to stay in that part of the world. The bar...- methodist.pilgrim.98

Hello from Stratford upon Avon, UK.
Personally I would not sleep outside as I like my bed but here is another thought. The Camino path between Fromista and Carrion de los Condes is beside a road and very straight. If there is a good moon or you have a good torchlight you could walk between the two at night. By the time you get...- methodist.pilgrim.98

Hello from Stratford upon Avon, UK.
Hi from the north west UK. If you want to reduce weight you might consider only taking one pair of proper walking trousers which split at the thighs. These are the ones you wear when you set out to the airport. I have found that is enough. I have taken sensible boxer shorts and if I have...- methodist.pilgrim.98
