    Sarria to Santiago 2013.

    Thanks very much for sharing Pat. Nervously getting ready to bring 20 people walking Sarria-Santiago. I've walked solo St. Jean to Logrono, so feeling a little out of "sequence"... what was the Irish Traditional air... sharon Shannon? TomCox

    Priest walking Camino in May--couple Q's

    Hello... I'm a priest (Irish)... I've only walked St. Jean-Logrono so far but as reported not every church in smaller places were open or staffed- so a prior arrangement would be necessary. I've tried the various diocesan websites- but contact details were patchy. Priests vary- but I'm quite...

    Sarria to Santiago by Wheelchair

    Yes... I was forming the same impression of lighter, sports type chairs and the importance of the physical profile of a wheelchair-piligrino and the need to consult a group on the matter. Along with the photographs Mr. Revke sent me it's given me a good sense of the terrain involved. Thank...

    Sarria to Santiago by Wheelchair

    That's brilliant... gives a real good impression of the route. Of course the wheelchair route and bicycle route is quite different I'm sure. Thanks for the film "6 ways to Santiago"... only arrived in the Post today and a parishioner has it borrowed!

    Thank you... was thinking that might be the case.

    Sarria to Santiago by Wheelchair

    Thank you so much for your very considered replies. It's good advice to obtain a "bicycle guide" as effectively that's what you need for a wheelchair. It is possible but the challenges are significant. The dilemma I have is that with a group, everyone will go at their own pace and are on their...

    Sarria to Santiago by Wheelchair

    Hello... forming a group (10 booked so far with a max of 25). Have been asked by an older couple if it's possible by wheelchair. They were enquiring re Gradients/obstacles. He can walk a limited amount, using the chair to stand, when in the chair he can certainly assist with his arms the...

    Corpus Christi in Santiago (June 7/8 2015)

    Hello I don't think question has been posted before- when and what to expect re Corpus Christi in Santiago on June 7th . I've been asked by 4 local parishes to organise and lead a group- about 25 to walk Sarria to Santiago. We hope to have young adults..but I presume they'll be the smaller...

    Why no Stations of Cross in Churches?

    Thanks for that information... I sent it on to the perplexed Teacher on the Camino.. He told me he had seen some just that day. Many thanks

    Organising a Group for May 2014-advice please?

    Wow! Thanks to whariwharangi for the extensive links... A Sarria Shuttle sounds the most appropriate. Kiwi-family I've read Bill Bennett and must say I like his approach to things re the Camino so will do. tyrrek I like the approach you outlined. I was thinking about a Hybrid approach as...

    Inspiring Quotations

    Or as Gaeilge/Gaelic "Giorann Beirt Bóthar"- two shorten the road... excuse bad grammar Given the Irish definition of a road was where a cow could pass out another cow "Bó-thar" (literally Cow-Across) it came to my mind on some of the narrower parts of the Camino!

    Organising a Group for May 2014-advice please?

    Ok... Just last May walked with 2 pals from SJP to Pamplona in the limited time we had. We loved it and shared each evening on the experiences we had, encounters with people and nature and the whole terrain (ouch!).. We obviously talked too much as I've been asked by our four local parish...

    Why no Stations of Cross in Churches?

    I was asked by an Irish Teacher as to why he found no stations of the cross in churches on his present camino. I have to say I can't remember seeing any walking from St. Jean... Think they were in Pamplona Cathedral. Maybe wayside crosses are more the spanish tradition? Just an idle query...
