Focusing on transformation versus being 100% present
Some random thoughts on mindfulness and epiphanies on camino. Leave all you can behind and just take yourself. By "all" I mean fears, expectations, and, if possible, much contact with what is now your real life and "be in the moment". Walking is a great way to meditate particularly if you walk...- Stroller

Walking from UK to Santiago
I too have thought of walking or cycling from home to Santiago and have amassed a rough plan of much of the French route. Unfortunately cancer followed by Covid have thus far stopped me. If you would like to share what I have please PM me. It is rough and sketchy but is the start of a plan.- Stroller

Coping with heat on the Camino
Start early, finish early, walk in shade where you can. If you cannot finish early find shade, take a siesta and walk when the heat has passed. The hottest part of the day is often from about 13:00Hrs to 15:00Hrs so a late slow lunch can be in order if not a siesta. Take it slow.- Stroller

Pre-Camino walking regimes - are they worth it? Do they work? Are they needed?
When I worked I had to drive 3Hrs a day to get to and from work, followed by the usual 8 - 12 Hrs of work at a desk, a total of up to 15Hrs a day. Not that unusual for many office workers forced to commute. So a regime of exercise was essential to get any level of fitness and help to keep weight...- Stroller

Try this if you are starting from scratch. I suggest you walk at your natural pace and ignore stroll, easy and brisk. The important thing is to walk.- Stroller

Pre-Camino walking regimes - are they worth it? Do they work? Are they needed?
A good level of general fitness together with well fitted old shoes are essential but you don't need to put in vast amounts of training to attain that. You need to be able to walk about 15/17kM a day, and by that I mean in something like 6/7Hrs including breaks. It is important to listen to...- Stroller

Preparing to Walk the Camino - Top Ten Tips
@Anhalter The reason for carrying noodles is that on occasion I found a bed but no bar in the village and just a kettle in the abugue. On those occasions the supplies I had were very welcome.- Stroller

Preparing to Walk the Camino - Top Ten Tips
mspath good advice, I would also add a pack or two of instant noodles, flavoured or plain and as storage for the cheese, soups etc. a mug. Plastic is good for microwaves in the occasional absence of a kettle. The food combination makes a high carbohydrate meal not nutritionally great but feels...- Stroller
