Time of past OR future Camino
Holy Year from Pamplona 2010, SJPP 2011, Lisbon 2012, Le Puy 2013, Vezelay (partial watch this space!) 2014; 2015 Toulouse-Puenta la Reina (Arles)
Shalom and Greetings from what is a freezing and dust stormed Jerusalem!
Many of us walking the Camino have collected a rather alarming amount of flotsam and jetsam, souvenirs, memorabilia, irreplaceable important personal objects, Compostela(s) as well as - and – well – ah - junk. Some of us have arranged these many objects on a shelf, a wall, a window as a reminder of past events and glory and as a impetus for future assaults on Santiago. I modestly offer my own wall as an opening round and hope that many others will add their own collection.

Camino Way markers in Bronze
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Our mementoes are spread around the house and mixed in with other trip ones too. Plus we have a still-frameless picture painted by a special forum member (who can reveal their identity if they wish!) which sits above our local map on which we mark off hikes we've done. Additionally, we have a whole shelf full of trip journals, credentials and compostelas!
 
Altus Poncho (ATMOSPHERIC H30)
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
@scruffy1 I particularly like the bottles but wonder at your energy in lugging them all the way home!

O
I am just in the process of doing mine Scruffy. I love your display. My first priority was getting DVDs of my Camino walk made for my family's Christmas stockings.
 
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-

Welcome Steve, I see you're going in Sept. It's a wonderful time of year. My CF was Sept/Oct 2015 and it could not have been better. Of course there are never guarantees with weather but I think you'll find it very doable and less crowded. Wish you Buen Camino
 

Cheers Maggie for your kind words. It's one of the things I love about this forum. Must admit I can't wait.
Funny thing is I was already planning on where I could hang my compostella and passport months ago when I first booked my time off work.
Regards
Steve.
 
And when you begin the hanging, you get to live it all over again. You'll never be quite the same. BTW I'm partial to the name Steve; it's my son's name.

I don't think I was ever the same to begin with to tell the truth. .
Stephen = Son of kings. Your obviously a lady with great taste.

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Thanks Steve. Nice to receive a compliment. Just a point and shoot with my phone. Most of my photos are not much cop. When I chose that one for the wall as it was toss up between that and another as they were the only two that seemed to highlight the long, sometimes seemingly endless road! I put the other here you to decide if I chose the right one.
 

You definitely picked the right one.
It tells story. I'm no expert but it has depth with the trail disappearing off into the horizon, action with the pilgrims walking away from the camera and foreground interest with the yellow arrow way marker. Like I said, great photo.

3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Excellent posts!

Here's the corner of the shelf in my office:


Simple. Just my credential, a map I picked up towards the end, my shell, my compostella, and a lino-block I cut for some prints after I returned home.

It's lovely jrm. I see that you kept your certificate container, as did I. (perhaps it's still in there?) Too nice to toss…...
