      Mananath replied to the thread Accommodation Inquiry.
      I am starting on May 27th and have just about booked everything until Cahors. I am taking the Cele variant and was warned this section has limited accomodation. My hope is to start booking a few days ahead after Cahors. I do not speak French and...

      Mananath reacted to Anniesantiago's post in the thread Temperature in albergues with Like Like.
      It was probably me. The smell and the heat from all those pilgrims are overwhelming in some places. I’m the somebody who tries to get the bed by the window so I can sleep with it open for fresh air, even if it’s just a crack.

      Mananath reacted to Dave's post in the thread Credit Card @ Gîtes with Like Like.
      In column U in my accommodation spreadsheet for the Via Podiensis, you can see where credit cards are accepted: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_DRbaqvzf2SKjB928JgGH79Zq1DAJ_g-0cA2cAgdKDU/edit#gid=311394233 Definitely more common for...

      Mananath reacted to Antnix1's post in the thread Pilgrimage - selfish? with Like Like.
      Sounds like you wanted to shoehorn your personal beliefs about climate change and vegetarianism into conversation and other pilgrims didn't want to engage with you in such discussions. Good for them! Hmm, egocentric might be a better word then...

      Do post about your experience on the Salvador - I will be walking that in July and would love to hear how it goes for you.
    • Mananath
      Thank you! I will try an buy them at decathlon in Bordeaux, which is my last stop before SJPDP. (I would also use them on el salvador; which I read is tough) but I think it's worth the 15 euros investment, so I might as well get them from the...

      Several years ago I walked the Via Podiensis taking the Cele variant. The Cele valley is a narrow high walled valley with the path following a small river. There might have been 10-15 Pilgrims a day walking this offshoot. The path was often...

      On the Norte last year I ran into this. I waited for a few other pilgrims and we all carefully walked next to the cows. I had been charged by a yak earlier in the year and was very nervous. It was a tough spot because you couldn't really find...

      Mananath reacted to lovelyshell's post in the thread Social anxiety on the camimo with Like Like.
      Hi, I don’t have diagnosed social anxiety but I am an introvert and anxious so maybe I do. I walked alone in 2016. I had some anxiety about the whole Camino family thing as I don’t like feeling like my decisions are controlled by others, I hate...

      I walked the Frances in July of 2022 during a heat wave. I started in Pamplona. It was extremely hot, well over 100f most days until Galicia. The problem was that it gets hotter in the late afternoon and in some days never got cooler at night so...
