    Theft on the Camino... a growing Concern?

    I prefer it if the decision to close a thread is taken by the moderators. I learn a lot from what members post, even if only that I absolutely disagree with what they are saying. Echo chambers don’t challenge existing opinions.

    Theft on the Camino... a growing Concern?

    John Brierley’s reuse in his guides of the phrase ‘Trust in God but tether your camel’ always struck a chord with me.

    Leaking boots.

    Drat! When I walked in 2015 (not time travelling to 2025) stubby fingers & small screen to blame.

    Leaking boots.

    It may be a fault in that particular pair of boots as opposed to the actual brand. When I walked in 2025 my new Salamons let me down in poring rain but the good people st Cotswold Outdoor replaced them without charge. No problems since & I also live in Scotland. Worth asking for a replacement as...

    Camino Ingles (UK) to Durham Cathedral

    It is indeed, in my humble opinion it is the finest in the UK. The pilgrimage will be shared with a peregrina I met in Sahagun in 2015. I doubt that it will be possible for me to ever return to the Camino in Spain owing old knees & (not so) genteel poverty but can vicariously enjoy the...

    Confraternity of St James UK - date for your diary

    I did follow up on this straight away & phoned the Confraternity office & was told to send an email to a named person but several weeks later I am still waiting for a reply. If anyone on the forum knows what the situation is please advise.

    Is it rude to ask people why they walk

    Perhaps I have missed a post or two but surely the simply answer is to say” I am on pilgrimage”. @ dougfitz, I am sorry that your trust in someone led to betrayal. Although being one of those forum members who love the Martin Sheen movie ‘The Way’ I do wonder if one or two folk see it as a...

    Confraternity of St James UK - date for your diary

    Thank you @GregorMc and @Bradypus for raising this. It did seem strange to me too. I will email CSJ tomorrow & edit the post when I have clarification.

    Confraternity of St James UK - date for your diary

    Well this is a bit like shopping early for Christmas, but I just saw notification of this fundraiser recorded event for the CSJ in the UK. It features John Brierley, Rebekah Scott, Laurie Dennett and Johnnie Walker. It will be broadcast on 31 December and tickets cost £5 for CSJ members and £7...

    LIVE from the Camino Camino home to home, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024

    @Flog, you write that 'walking a pilgrimage however long and arduous, doesn't automatically entitle us to charity.' Perhaps it would have been better to preface this statement with 'in my opinion' as others on the forum or on the Way may have a different take on this. So, 'in my opinion, if...
