The RIBBON Project
God Bless you Tim and Donna as you make your way along the Camino. Tim, You will only need to walk 13 kms per day so you will have lots of time to take rest stops. I recently walked a couple of days on a very difficult (for me) trail and carrying a heavy backpack. I did it one kilometer at a...- skilsaw

New Pilgrim!
Got your rocks all ready! That is putting your priorities first. I took one rock for each person on my prayer list and had their initials on each stone. The little bag of rocks weighed 2 lbs! But what joy, taking the bag out and going through the rocks one by one remembering people at home...- skilsaw

New to the forum, but not the trail
When I started the Camino Frances, my only plan was to go west each day. It worked woderfully. If you plan to go north, or North East each day, that will be enough. Enjoy the contemplation while you walk. David, Victoria, Canada.- skilsaw

New Pilgrim from Canada
Hi Robyn, Nobody has touched your second question, but I think it is very relevant, given the time of year you will be walking. The weather at the start of your Camino should be brilliant. Warm days, crisp mornings. In the second half of the Camino, you walk on a 1000 m high elevation plateau...- skilsaw

Hi fellow pilgrims
Hello Sheila, Having walked from Leon, you know what pilgrimage is about. One of the first big questions pilgrims ask upon meeting each other is " Where did you begin? How was your first day on the route Napoleon from St. Jean Pied du Port?" Everyone compares horror stories, and believes they...- skilsaw

clothing/Finisterre
If you go out to the lighthouse in the evening and have a bonfire, you can expect a cool breeze off the water. If you are warm, dry, and in good company, you may stay out all night. I would take the fleece. Also, if you go out, intending to build a fire, purchase the wood in town. There is...- skilsaw

Train/bus Santiago - Sarria?
There is a whole forum on traveling to and from the Camino. It can be found at traveling-to-from-the-camino/ If that link doesn't work, just go to the Home Page of the Forum, and scroll down to Pilgrim Issues on all Caminos. You will find "Traveling to from the camino" there.- skilsaw

ACL Surgery Two years ago... Brace or no Brace?
Taking a brace that chafs is like taking boots that you know give you blisters. Why would someone do that? On the other hand, having the brace in yor pack means you can wear it if necessary. I would take it, and hope I don't need it.- skilsaw

Walked in 2012
Pilgrimage is a kind of addiction. I''ve been to Santiago 3 times and sometimes I think the Norte, along the coast, would be nice and quiet. Santiago, one more time? Maybe... My other pilgrimages are self-propelled travel. Backpacking, snowshoeing, canoeing, cycle touring. But nothing...- skilsaw

Prayers on the Camino
A beautiful suggestion. I experience two extremes when I hear prayer requests. One is when I hear "Please pray for Robin" and there is no other information given. It is terribly hard to know what to pray, and how long to continue praying. The other extreme is too much information... at what...- skilsaw

Hi, everyone!
I just looked up Paris to Santiago on Google Maps and see it is a little more than 1500 kms so Roncesvalles and Pamplona are just about half way. I think it is great that you have your Camino planned for 2015. Lots of time to dream, and get fit. Although it takes more perseverance and...- skilsaw

Ear Plugs
Good Luck with your knee! I was having difficulty with one knee and I solved the problem just by chance by getting a better pair of hiking boots. Then my boots gave me blisters so I walked 3/4 of the Camino in a pair of cheap running shoes that were half a size too big. The lesson here is, "If...- skilsaw

Praise Lord!
Re: Praise Lord! The Camino is a multitude of little miracles. Each seems like just a coincedence, but when you add them all together, it seems there is a greater plan. Some of the little miracles on the Camino happen when you are cold, wet, tired and hungry. Those are the best ones of them...- skilsaw

Salut! doing Astorga - Compostella in July
Astorga to Santiago is only a 10 or 11 day walk. But since you have had difficulty in the past, having 15 days will be good. As for your pack... A very thin sleeping bag is all that is needed in July. no need for a winter hat and gloves. One set of clothes to wear, and one for the wash... You...- skilsaw

Hi! I'm new here!
Mariposa, I had to Google Map Valenca to find out where it is. Just a nice walk from the Border with Portugal to Santiago. I hope you enjoy it. This route will not be as busy as the others. I hope you find it restful, peaceful and invigorating. Buen Camino, David, Victoria, Canada.- skilsaw
