Thankful for being on the Camino Frances

[Former member 98118]

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you to all thembers of this wonderful forum and especially the founder Ivar for fanning my Camino flame and keeping it alive throughout this pandemic. Without you my dream of returning to the Camino probably wouldn't come through!.

I may not be posting often because internet and Camino never went together for me. But if I could be useful for a specific question regarding present Camino I'll be happy to answer if I am on the Internet which may be not too often. But I' ll try to post some photos if I learn how to do it from my phone.

I tried to register the name Happy Pilgrim but it was taken and my phone offered this as an alternative. Oh well...

To all of you, have a Buen Camino, whether it happens here on the Saint James paths or at your life at your home country!

I better post it before accidentally I delete it. So strange to type on the phone!

May your feet find favor with all those who’ve trekked before you.

Buen camino.

Welcome to being an official member of the forum. It is nice to hear from people who have lurked for ages, but not posted before. We will all be happy to read about your personal experiences as well as updates on the current conditions on the Camino Frances!

Today is going to be the hottest day in Donibane Garazi = SJPdP. Tough day for a walk to Roncesvalles. 36 C / 97 F

Just learning how to add photos, bear with me please....

Buen camino, @Happy Penguin ! (That's a superb name, btw...)
Since conditions this year are constantly changing, posts along the way from people like you (who are actually out there) are very useful for those who follow in your footsteps.

Hopefully it will be cooler in the higher elevations!

From one techno challenged pilgrim to another - Buen Camino!!

Enjoy! I will be one day behind you, starting from Roncesvalles on the 7th.

Try to avoid Brierly stages, Luka! That's where they run out of beds first. Buen Camino - it is really clean this year. And also it seems much younger than usual (majority of pilgrims in their 20s and 30s) but maybe it's like that every summer. Never been on the Frances during summer vacations.

Oh, no!! 97 degrees??!!! And that's just getting to Roncevalles?? I can't imagine what the Meseta is like. Keep hydrated, my friends, and wear a hat.
And sunscreen.
And go slowly.
