Thank you, folks for the meaningful comments!
All the fellow (?) Pilgrims, like yourselves, make it worthwhile, regardless of the outcome.
All the best,

Hi Jennie
I'll be back in Ballina/Killaloe next week for a month prior to heading off on 10th Sep to Biarritz and the Camino del Norte ... Any chance we could meet up? (Don't know how to send a private message.) Mary

Hi Pat, I've done as you said. I hadn't realised you were from Clare. When are you off again? Is there a local / regional camino group?

It is with great sadness and dissapointment that I had to leave the Camino this morning after only walking only four or five kms. After the first km I started to get tightness in my chest but hoped it was indigestion after breakfast, sadly it got worse as I kept going so I turned back and got the bus and taxi back to Biarritz where I am resting in a hotel until tomorrows flight home. A friend took the stones to place at the Cruz de Ferro for me. These are the joys of heart disease but hopefuly I will get a chance to return after I get this sorted. I met another member, gidivet, on my way down and we had a chat. I was looking forward to meeting more of you but such is life, another time.

My prayers are with you. Take care & take it easy. Hoping to meet you one of these days on the Camino .

Well, well Wayfarer thank you for the link, I like you ended in hospital on my first walk in 2013 but after spending 8 days in Santiago I realised that it was part of my Camino, unlike you I kept walking till my body said stop about 108k's from Santiago I had cronic renal failure but in capitals BUT I was not scared as I was in the hands of the Spanish people who I have grown to love. After an operation in Australia I went back Sept 14 and walked it to give thanks and catchup with those that helped. I also realised how sick I was but you will bounce back the Camino is in your heart and the love that it gives us is all powerful get well enjoy Jane (my wife is named Jane) and you will travel the Camino again as I will in 2016. To all those that take ill on his road God bless.

Wayfarer, I hadn't checked this thread in a while but I couldn't resist jumping in here.

You sent a nice note last year when I had to abandon my Camino.....which I did go back and complete a couple of months later. Your note, as well as other thoughtful peregrines, meant a great deal to me.

I can only hope you are coming back strong. It means a great deal to those that aspire.....to hear from someone like yourself.

Btw, people like you are the reason that I will do another in June.....and, all being equal, come back again and again!

Perhaps I will meet you out there someday !

All the best,

Brendan

Thank you Trevor and Brendan for your kind words. I am back walking again locally and God willing hope to do a short Camino in late Summer/Autumn. In the meantime I hope to explore southern Portugal this May/June in the camper then follow the coastal route to Santiago where I hope to meet some people from the forum if I am lucky. I missed Ivar and Johnny in 2013, so maybe this year, also Nate and Faith and a few more on the way home.

Take it easy smile and enjoy everyday as tomorrow is to far away to worry about, That is one golden rule I learnt on the Camino. Sitting back I realise that we over think worry about whats comming or whats past (which we cannot change) and forget about today. God Bless
