Buen Camino, Pilgrims~
I walked from Saint Jean to Compostela for 32 days in July, Aug of 2016. I am thinking to walk again some day.
What about you? Do you miss the roads?
The question for me is "is there ever a moment when you aren't thinking about doing another Camino?"
Absolutely, but my second time was even better than my first and my 3rd was just amazing. But I am slightly worried about trying to relive it on my 4th in June. Buen CaminoCouldn't agree more.
I met my wife on the camino in 2016 and have since moved to Australia from the UK so it's a massive event in both of our lives. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't think about it.
I'm going back to walk it again in March with a friend who I also met on the camino. I think the trick is to not expect to relive your first experience (difficult in my case) and embrace it as if it is your first time.

☝ ditto!!!I'm heading off next week for my 3rd Camino Frances.There hasn't been a day gone by,since my last Camino,that I haven't thought about it.

The camino becomes a part of your life. Once you've experienced the liberation it brings, it's always present in an uplifting way. Spain's a long way and expensive for me to get to, and I've got work commitments limiting my time, but after several years away I simply want the experience again. So, I'm now in Madrid, on my way to Burgos to walk the meseta, already feeling free but connected in a good way.Buen Camino, Pilgrims~

The 'roads', no but the off-roads especially uneven trails leading to the unknown familiar canopy of eucalyptus trees and sound of nature all around with the possibility of meeting the next pilgrim ahead and continued adventure on the people path of positive intention or camino loveWhat about you? Do you miss the roads
Absolutely! I miss the experience and am planning my next Camino for 2021, probably the el Norte. Buen Camino for your next Camino.Buen Camino, Pilgrims~

I walked the last 116 km with my son, then 16 yrs old, the last week on June 2016. I have been planning my next walk ever since, but with 4 son entering college and a husband that doesn't understand why I want to do this it has taken me 4 years. I am finally walking from SJPP to Burgos on July 14 to 28, 2020. This time solo. Not the entire Camino but what this 54 yrs old, stay at home, not athletic mom can do at this time.Buen Camino, Pilgrims~

I walked SJPP to Santiago in Sept/Oct 2019. This September 2020, I will be back on the Frances and will walk 1/2 - Sahagun to Santiago. (In May, 2020, I'll be on CP from Porto to Santiago). My husband thinks I would enjoy doing SJPP to Santiago again in 2021. We shall see.Buen Camino, Pilgrims~

That's quite me in opposite directions.and a husband that doesn't understand why I want to do this it has taken me 4 years.
I knew before I was halfway through the Camino last year that I wanted to return (this time by myself) and. Now I have all my reservations made for next August.Buen Camino, Pilgrims~

Thats great! Obviously your not a couch potato, ha ha. Hat's off to you, Been Camino.Always thinking about it. Have walked the Francis or another route every year since 2014, Camino seven, the Del Norte in late September this year.View attachment 69913
I love these roads. They're indescribable. I started on the Frances in 2013. I've walked 16 different times since on a whole myriad of different routes. My life has become manifold richer as a result. I think about the Camino everyday and thank God it exists.Buen Camino, Pilgrims~

You will love it . Buen CaminoHopefully in 2021 from Sarria to SDC.
Margaret - you and your husband are an inspiration to me and I’m sure many others. Stay safe and wishing you many happy days.Always thinking/dreaming of what may never be.
The following post was originally written 21/03 at the beginning of confinement here in France; months have passed since then but my sincerity remains ever true.
My husband Bill and I at 80 and 81 after a year of extreme serious illnesses battened down. After closing our Marne-side b&b/pilgrim house, stocking medicine and food for the next months we continue to go forward together with courage and strength of will towards the inevitable.
All life is chance; things are or are not. I try not to worry about what I can't control but hope for the best while attempting to make things better.
Memories of successful past camino efforts help me keep going.
Ever since I found this Forum in 2009 each morning I have read/replied to the posted entries of the past day as the Forum became a part of my normal routine. One pleasure across the past decade has been the discovery of digital friends in unmet fellow walkers/readers with whom so much could be shared. Such are you for me.
Stay safe and well dear companions,
We who can not continue to walk as in the past can still continue on the pathways of our memory,
May we all have the mental and physical strength to persevere.
In the truest sense, Ultreia,
Margaret Meredith
Well done Pepi! Wonderful reason for another Camino!Absolutely! A series of 4 CF and 1 CN behind me at 74y, I lost 2019 to cancer- and quintuple bypass surgery and 2020 to COVID and am eager to do my 6th as a tribute to life and appreciation of making it to 77. (My docs unanimously agreed that my survival was due to the strength gained in those yearly walks)
