How wonderful, Falcon. Once, when I was overnighting in the Salamanca albergue I shared a bunk room with two profoundly disabled men and their personal assistants. One had cerebral palsy of a severe kind, the other had been blind, deaf and dumb since birth. The latter communicated by tapping on his PA's hand. It was deeply moving to converse with him and hear about his life journey and passion for the Camino. The men plus PA's cycled on two modified tandems, one in a tricycle bucket seat affair with PA attached, the other the ususal kind with extra belts for safety, I think. A back up car travelled ahead and every day or so they held conferances with associations for the disabled in the towns and villages they passed through. They were an unforgettable team.

Inspire back to Camino

Following the success enjoyed in the first Camino de Santiago Charity Challenge last September in Spain, Inspire Foundation is preparing for the next fundraising challenge, scheduled to depart on March 26.

Previously, the pilgrimage was undertaken purely for religious reasons. Nowadays, however, it has become a medium for people to get in touch with nature and away from their hectic lives.

Participants in the Camino de Santiago Challenge will be required to raise funds on behalf of Inspire and will be encouraged to join group training on Sunday mornings.

While a high degree of fitness is not required, participants will be required to walk approximately 21km a day carrying a backpack.

I started out from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on 1 May. It turned out to be an unforgetable day. Above 1,000 m or so it snowed, catching many people unprepared. Later that day "many" walkers were...

I'm flying from the USA to start my Camino this week. I will check my backpack, and to protect it, I will ship it in a plastic storage bin like this one: Rather than shipping the storage bin to...
