The socks, the cyclist and the experiment

DoughnutANZ · Jun 9, 2019

I left three pairs of socks on the line at Albergue La Laguna in El Burgo Renaro. I am currently just West of Leon walking around 20 to 25 kilometers a day, next stop around San Martin del Camino.

Is there a cyclist stopping in El Burgo Renaro who is willing to pick up my 3 pairs of socks in the name Douglas H and then leave them at an Albergue ahead of me?

If so, please leave them a good 60 klms passed Leon then advise me on this thread. If someone picks them up more than 2 days time then please transport them further or drop them off in Santiago and let me know where please. Many thanks, Douglas H

Just to encourage you, a teddy bear was reunited with its owner a year later...

Sorry to hear that you are injured. You might have a chance to buy some socks.

I am now in Lugo hospital with pnuemonia and so I don't need to wear socks for a while ......

DoughnutANZ · Jun 19, 2019

Time to let go of my socks. I am in Lugo hospital with pnuemonia for five days and I don't need socks in here. Bye bye socks! Hopefully I will have time to complete my Camino after a bit of a rest.

Get well soon!

Sorry to hear that Doug. Get well soon. Hope you are back on the trail soon - Bill and Ita from Ireland

DoughnutANZ · Jun 26, 2019

Thank you. I was coming down with it prior to the Ferro Cross. I hope that you both had a great Camino. Thanks for your company.

BillAndIta · Jun 26, 2019

It was great. We finished on Monday. On our way home now. Are you back on the Camino?

DoughnutANZ · Jun 26, 2019

Not yet. I am staying with a friend in Vila Real, Portugal while I recover and get my strength back. Please contact me if you ever get to NZ.

BillAndIta · Jun 26, 2019

Glad to hear you are out of hospital and hope you get to finish. We'll be sure to look you up if we ever get as far as NZ.

It is good to hear that you are recovering!
