I promise.It has been announced today that the Route Napoleon will remain closed till further notice to accommodate road and trail widening and surfacing, these works could last until November. Route Valcarlos it is then.

Yes, @wayfarer is being quite naughty today. I heard a rumor that Ivar was contemplating rescinding his Mod status.Naughty!
There goes my mod pensionYes, @wayfarer is being quite naughty today. I heard a rumor that Ivar was contemplating rescinding his Mod status.
Fishies is a new one on me, we say dropping or telling porkies.then I realized you were dropping fishies. I had to retract the announcement.
Poisson d'avril !It has been announced today that the Route Napoleon will remain closed till further notice to accommodate road and trail widening and surfacing, these works could last until November. Route Valcarlos it is then.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Buen Camino!It has been announced today that the Route Napoleon will remain closed till further notice to accommodate road and trail widening and surfacing, these works could last until November. Route Valcarlos it is then.
He's always a good guy, but today he's..."my new best friend".@wayfarer is having a lot of fun today.
I get one day in the year to be silly on the forum and I'm making the most of it.He's always a good guy, but today he's..."my new best friend".
I am counting on you to be right on this April Fool’s day.Maybe so, but today is April 1st.
@wayfarer I literally had tears in my eyes. "My dream of starting our beloved Camino by walking the Route Napoleon will not happen, at least in 2022." Then I scrolled down. We will all have to think of an appropriate and timely way to pay you back. Good one, and happy April Fool's Day, all!It has been announced today that the Route Napoleon will remain closed till further notice to accommodate road and trail widening and surfacing, these works could last until November. Route Valcarlos it is then.
The road widening is now going to take longer because of snow delays.See, and ye didn't believe me..
In Colorado, we would be cheering.The road widening is now going to take longer because of snow delays.
Not funny! I suggest you go back to the original post and edit to say it was a joke. Bett yet, post a retraction and apologize. Some of us here are dependent on the advice and experience of those that have done the Camino and those that are currently doing it. Some of us are investing a lot of time and money to make this dream come true. Posts like this have no place in the forum.It has been announced today that the Route Napoleon will remain closed till further notice to accommodate road and trail widening and surfacing, these works could last until November.

You should not ask a bunch of people on the internet (and perhaps not in this April 1 thread either). Ask the people where you stay in Roncesvalles. And in my humble opinion, if you must walk when a considerable amount of snowfall is announced in the weather forecast for today (April 1) and tomorrow (April 2) at below 1000 m and there are severe weather warnings and it is in all the regional newspapers and you are not certain how to find the trail, then stay put or walk on the main road. And pay attention to the cars. They may slip on the ice and snow on the road.Heavy snow in Roncesvalles as well. Hoping to find trail to Zubiri….. any suggestions
I'm hoping this is the caseMaybe so, but today is April 1st.
No worries, just some people having a little April 1st fun.I'm hoping this is the case

I suggest you take this forum more seriously. I've reported the posts to the monitors. They can decide if such misinformation is appropriate for this forum.
Sorry, but that kind of humor has no place in this forum. Think about folks, RIGHT NOW, packing to leave for their Camino, reservations in hand, and then they read a post like this which as NO indication that it was intended to be humorous. It isn't until you get about 10 replies down that you find it was a joke. People don't always read every reply in a long string like this. This forum is intended to share and exchange information to help others with their Camino. There's no place for misinformation like this to be poste, whether or not it was intended to be 'humorous.'
Folks getting ready to leave right now do not appreciate inappropriate humor like this.
Well, they should. Maybe this is the lesson the Camino wants to teach you right now. And reading the first 7-10 posts is not asking too much. So we managed to send you and @Sue127 and @Hurrying into the April, as the German speakers say, and you got annoyed while they took it with humour. Buen Camino en el mes de mayo!People don't always read every reply in a long string like this.
Er . . Wayfarer IS a moderator!I suggest you take this forum more seriously. I've reported the posts to the monitors. They can decide if such misinformation is appropriate for this forum.

Time to close the thread? (though I've enjoyed reading it)Quit while you are behind.
You have taken a light-hearted April 1st thread that everyone got and enjoyed and turned it into an argument.

Moderator note: check the date of this post
It's not a job - it's somebody volunteering in their spare time to make sure this forum works as well as it does.With moderator like you posting misinformation and finding it humorous, this forum is in trouble. Lighten up? How about you take this job seriously.
No. With the comment that has been now added (Moderator note: check the date of this post) the first post has become just another boring April 1 joke where every reader knows right away that it is an April 1 joke.after the fact he edited his post, but by then the damage was done.
Tastes, like Pilgrims, differ but thank you for lightening up our dayLike I said in a previous post, with moderators like this running the show and posting misinformation without any indication that it was intended as 'humor', the reputation of this forum is in trouble. yes, after the fact he edited his post, but by then the damage was done. Think about it, there are people RIGHT NOW, getting ready to depart for SJPP with reservation is Orisson, who get up and read this, and the same moderator refuses to end discussion with a retraction of the original post.
Fortunately, there is enough back and forth banter at the end to make folks reading this for the first time realize that it was a joke made in bad taste.
I sincerely doubt that folks along the trail will be dispensing misinformation to fellow pilgrims thinking it is humorous.@CA_Pilgrim if you can’t get your head around this, if you can’t get your head around the curveballs the Camino can throw, and especially if you can’t take a joke you aren’t gonna find it easy on the roads to Santiago.
I sincerely doubt that folks along the trail will be dispensing misinformation to fellow pilgrims thinking it is humorous.
It will be closed at 23.00 CET when April 1st is officially over on the forum.I don't understand your reluctance to close down the thread. What more do you want from this thread?
It is turning into an interesting discussion and time for reflection on our senses of humour, indignation, and whether people should immediately believe everything they read on the internet.I don't get what more he wants out of it.
Why do you ask?So, tell me, CA_Pilgrim, about your next camino, when will it be? Which one will you be walking?
Because you took it down the "bad turn" and you don't get to call the shots. Leave it at that please.I agree, but what I don't understand is the reluctance to close down a thread that has obviously taken a bad turn. It doesn't reflect well on the forum that one of the moderators was the OP and now refuses to close down the thread.
Have you considered the conflict within the forum you are generating? People attacking me for not understanding your warped sense of humor?
Deflection. To turn the heat down. Is this going to sort out the ills of the world? I am a woman person, not a man person so I cannot 'get' the problem. So, honestly, I thought that I would see if you would take the bait of dropping it. I live in Ireland. I grew up in Scotland with many siblings and lots of folk who acted the goat on April 1st. Perhaps you didn't have April Fool fun as a child? I do think if you did step back, and maybe go for a bit of a walk, and look at the news, and see what is actually going on in the world, you might not want to keep this silly argument going. People are fighting for their lives. What are you fighting for? I am not sorry for one word I am writing here, but I will not reply any more. Just take a look at the little video about argument.Why do you ask?
Thank you for your interest kirkie.Deflection. To turn the heat down. Is this going to sort out the ills of the world? I am a woman person, not a man person so I cannot 'get' the problem.
Thanks for the early birthday wishes. BTW, I didn't find your post to be harsh and I appreciate your desire to move this thread back into a positive direction. The forum needs more people like you!I wish you a safe trip, and a Happy 65th.
OOPS! I did not keep my own word! But I am glad, as I did not want to end my post with you on a harsh note.
Must admit you got me @wayfarer. And today is my birthday … I should have been on full alert!It has been announced today that the Route Napoleon will remain closed till further notice to accommodate road and trail widening and surfacing, these works could last until November. Route Valcarlos it is then.

Kirkie is a true gem.Thanks for the early birthday wishes. BTW, I didn't find your post to be harsh and I appreciate your desire to move this thread back into a positive direction. The forum needs more people like you!
Kirkie - Do you have plans for a 2022 Camino? I see you already have 3 under your belt. Any plans for a fourth?Kirkie is a true gem.
Happy Birthday, I hope you had a great day.Must admit you got me @wayfarer. And today is my birthday … I should have been on full alert!
I hear you. I planned to retire in June when I turn 65, but I've negotiated with my employer to work to the end of the year if I can have 2 months off for the Camino. This has been on my bucket list for well over 10 years, even before the movie, but life and work always seemed to get in the way. This year I'm going to make it happen!Although I am retired, I still have to dovetail with others for when I go missing, but perhaps later in the year..
I heard the storm was so bad that fish had been picked up out of the Bay of Biscay and were falling out of the skies along with the rain and snow, the once a year poisson d'avril event.April fish!!!!
Today is my son's birthday. Haha, the laugh was on me!!Happy Birthday, I hope you had a great day.
Happy Birthday to him.Today is my son's birthday. Haha, the laugh was on me!!
Indeed!! Yesterday I could have offered you a litre of freeze dried water - much lighter. Somehow demand has been so strong that it is already out of stock (https://www.paddypallin.com.au/free...1nJVv_NGlmGrHpE7ny0K-goOD_nN4xJsK7RYqBhXwXL40).It's April 1st, lighten up.
