de meme aussiWhen my ashes have been scattered along it....
I've absolutely NO idea.
I'm celebrating my 75th birthday on the Camino Ingles next month.
I shall certainly stop if both legs get amputated[but I may keep going more slowly if it's only one....]
I am back home from my first Camino in Nov. 2013 and already preparing for my next in September 2014 and I do not think it will be my last, nobody told me that you are unable to stop...smiling, laughing, being more tolerant and yes yearning for the click clack of the early morning Peligrinos as they wander on their Way.
My name is Trevor from Australia if you see me please say hi and stop awhile for a chat and a vino and the end of the day. Do not be worried if I am talking to myself, it is either in prayer or talking to my friend who I take with me.
Do not be scared or have expectations just come and a walk soon you will not be going as much as following, peace to all.
So true I hope you feel beter and you do get another chance.Well, this past weekend I had a stent put in the LAD, otherwise known as the "Widowmaker!" Having walked the Camino last year at 82 I suspect walking in and of itself was one of the reasons I avoided a catastrophe on Friday. I still may try it again but if and when you physically stop or however far you go just depends on your passion to do it.
Hi Stephen love your attitude I think it all those years we have our nose to the grind stone for the family its when we can stop to the smell the roses we are old farts, but our hearts are young.Hi Stephen,
You could go for carbon fibre or a much cheaper option.............castors.
OLD PILGRIMS NEVER DIE........................................ in your case they are just wheeled away.
And I thought I was an OLD _ART at 71 but good on you, you have the biscuit. VDLP for me this year.
Happy Birthday and slow is good more time to meet nice people.I've absolutely NO idea.

NOOOO... those things just slow us a little!Wonderful to hear from pilgrims that they have no intention to stop doing what they like and enjoy.
Only physical problems or money problems, may stop them.
Buen Camino !
'Tis but a flesh wound . . .I've absolutely NO idea.

Don't be tempted, Al. It's not worth the gambleI met an 83 year old Texan in the cafe in Finisterra. His wife was much younger. Don't know if that is the answer to being able to carry on walking, but I am prepared to give it a try!

Trevor, Thanks. I really feel as good as when I started last September. Modern medicine is amazing.So true I hope you feel beter and you do get another chance.
For Methodist Pilgrim, it was when he didn't wake up one morning. For others it might be when they are too infirm or do not have funds or have other commitments that require this sacrifice. For still others it is a once-in-a-lifetime-experience which they have no desire to repeat. Lots of reasons I guess;-)
Oh, come ON Keith John.Hi Al, Stephen is not at all tempted, but you can put me down for one and I'll have his as well.
Oh, come ON Keith John.
Please admit that at our age we could barely manage one, let alone TWO!
Ta Maggie like the Camino your words humble me.Having started the Camino with Trevor last September, I can vouch that this pilgrim is one mighty awesome pilgrim. You can count on him for laughs, prayers, good conversation, and a helping hand, whenever needed. Glad you're going back, mate. Buen Camino to you.
But the man IS from Texas, and 83 there is equal to about 50 everywhere else (ask any born and bred Texan) . . . And, at risk of being indelicate and completely sidetracking the OP, he can buy those little blue pills over the counter.I met an 83 year old Texan in the cafe in Finisterra.

I will be out there on my first Camino starting from SJPP on September 16. See you on the trailI am back home from my first Camino in Nov. 2013 and already preparing for my next in September 2014 and I do not think it will be my last, nobody told me that you are unable to stop...smiling, laughing, being more tolerant and yes yearning for the click clack of the early morning Peligrinos as they wander on their Way.

That would come in handy for inebriated younger men as well. Twice we had twenty-somethings who had far too good a time with the Spanish wines and then subsequently fell out of the top bunk. Thankfully, no lasting harm caused for them, but great object lessons for my 15 year old son based on his firsthand observation.I have heard that these the little blue pills can prevent old men falling out of the top bunk. Oil bet they would land on their feet.
