A secular Camino?
I suspect we are not all alike. :)- Sirage

Winging it or Getting a Helping Hand?
Hello 1elantra Accommodation is mostly available except at peak times if you book ahead a day or 2, although many in the pre COVID days tended to wing it. This give a more flexible experience, it tends to work well. And may not be stressful if you assume that at times you might need to go...- Sirage

How do people 60-and-over plan their Camino?
Don't be intimidated. "Mountainous" could be an exaggeration. Many people who aren't mountain climbers enjoy it.- Sirage

Camino Frances and its 3 Phases: Are there any other routes that match the same physical/mental/spiritual journey?
The 1,500 kms from Le Puy provide an enhanced version of what you are thinking. Then if you subsequently do other Caminos through varied routes, the "mind" process continues until you finish in a rocking chair reminiscing about the good times you had whilst you were able to walk.- Sirage

Am Confused! Best place to start walking over the Somport Pass - Urdos or Somport?
Going over Somport Pass is a wonderful experience, but you don't want to start anywhere near it. I remember a Frenchman sharing a French walking proverb - it takes about 3 weeks to get track-tough. Translating that: after 3 weeks your mind and body have adjusted to walking, the gite / albergue...- Sirage

Ranking the Caminos for a first-timer
Looking at your bio / preference, don't do the Frances. As above, don't overthink this. Le Puy is a great walk, as are a few others, but being in France it is more expensive. Although you could stretch your budget as it probably is flexible and you might look back after a year and an extra...- Sirage

Sharing my visit to a podiatrist (orthotics)
Formthotics - A New Zealand brand - NZ makes some good outdoor stuff. https://www.formthotics.com/activity/running A have tried both these types - there are more - I prefer the Red/Blue which is not as thick as the Blue/Green - a combination of fitting my shoes and thickness. I use them every...- Sirage

Sharing my visit to a podiatrist (orthotics)
I have walked quite a few Caminos - at a guess about 6,000 kms. Getting the "right" insole was a game-changer and stopped me getting blisters, in conjunction with the "right" shoes and socks. Much money has been spent on shoes. I didn't have luck with custom orthotics, but with up-market...- Sirage

Road 25k Different from Trail 25k
Poles when used for every step, in all terrain, as a "fluid" extension of your arms, can share the load a little and significantly reduce the load on your feet and increase endurance. Difficult surfaces, tired at the end of a long day, everywhere except crowds. And build up to some or many...- Sirage

How do people 60-and-over plan their Camino?
Isn't this thread a little ageist? What is this with over 60? I imaging in my naiveté that we plan, or don't bother to plan too much. Like everybody else. But then I am not in anyone else's head, like everybody else isn't. I remember meeting a frenchman a few years ago doing his 10th...- Sirage
