On my first day from Logrono to Navarette I tripped on my Altus and fell backwards, breaking my left arm. The camera in my right hand survived the fall and I didn't get the photo I was trying to take!
I went to the San Pedro hospital in Logrono and had Xrays and a half cast was applied. The doctor suggested I go to the hospital in Burgos where I would be seen by an orthopaedic specialist. So, while my friend Kathy has been walking I have been taking buses and taxis between villages and towns.
I spent four hours in a beautiful, modern hospital in Burgos yesterday and have a smart new cast on my arm. The specialist said that I could start walking again in 3 - 5 days but I've decided not to nwalk until I meet my small group (including my husband and Uncle Bob) in Ferrol on 10th June.
So, for now I am an 'autobus peregrina' and who knows, I might even write a new guide on how to do the Camino by bus and taxi!

So sorry to read of your broken arm sillydoll.....hope it gets better very soon. I think you should write this new guide...would be very helpful to some folk out there, who, for whatever reason, find walking the full distance to be too hard. Buen Camino and healing waves to you.On my first day from Logrono to Navarette I tripped on my Altus and fell backwards, breaking my left arm.

Ahhhh so for you also reaching the top of that hill was a special moment. I was with two friends from Quebec and as we reached the top of that hill, we all went 'wow!' Quite took our breath away- that huge immensity of sky and crops.I sat on a wall and looked at the path across the valley that the pilgrims will follow tomorrow, up to a high plain where the meseta really begins and wish that the all achieve a feeling of Zen as they cross the sea of green trigo as far as the eye can see.
Personally have never been a "poncho" fan, Altus or other. Gimme a good rain jacket and pants any day. Anyway, "it's not how you drive, it's how you arrive." Try sending your pack ahead via Jaccotrans(spell) when you start hiking again. The pack doesn't earn the Compostella.

I recently found this post and would be grateful for any further information (did you ever prepare a guide?) I am planning to walk the Camino in September with a family member who may require the support/ comfort of knowing alternatives when they are unable to manage a full 20 km walk every day. Thanks!
Any guidebook, paper or online will give you that e are in fact very few sections on the Frances when one must walk 15km or more without services.I am planning to walk the Camino in September with a family member who may require the support/ comfort of knowing alternatives when they are unable to manage a full 20 km walk every day.

The first time I followed the Camino in 1989, I travelled primarily by thumb from Roncesvalles to Santiago. It wasn't until last summer that I returned and walked from Roncesvalles to Finisterre.On my first day from Logrono to Navarette I tripped on my Altus and fell backwards, breaking my left arm.
