[QUOTE="AlwynWellington, post: 1005256, member: 13479"] I am sure we have all read the expression "The Camino provides". And it is not only in Spain (Europe) that this happens. The situation: When I walk I wear a good imitation of a kilt. A week ago I started a 80 km two to three day walk. Just to keep in practice for 2023. The first 30 km passed through 3 small towns, with copious cafe to be passed as well. The next 30 km followed a rail trail that went up, through and down the other side of a hilly (mountain) range: no cafe to be had and so no grazing at meal times. The last 20 km was to the suburban rail head and so back home. At the approach to the second village, an equally old gentleman stood before me and started talking with a soft accent from Scotland. He explained he and his wife had seen me an hour or so before and he had some supplies: Dundee Shortbread, Chocolate coated wafer (both from Scotland), some scroggin and some chilled water. We talked about how we each came to be in this part of the world (almost as far from Scotland as you can get and be of firm land). I accepted graciously while privately wondering how to use this great gift. At the end of the first 30 km was was one long bridge without a footpath or shoulder to walk on. And I had times myself to be at the bus stop in time for a schedule service. On the approach I see the scheduled service has been cancelled and it is 3 hour wait for the next one. While I was testing which thumb to use, a ute stopped and offered me a ride. Not just over the bridge and to the third village but another 10 km to the start of the rail trail. Thus no cafe, no coffee and no meal for the day. That night, my meal for the day, at the top of the rail trail (only 350 metres above sea level), was Dundee Shortbread, Wafer biscuits and scroggin. The Camino does indeed provide, even when it is not in Spain. Kia kaha (take care, be strong, get going as you can) [/QUOTE]
