Rolling in France by wheelchair

[Wheelchairpilgrim]

10 days ago I started the next stage of my camino from the Netherlands through France to Santiago.
This year from Taizé to Le-Puy-en-Velay.
A wonderful wheelchair trip with great adventures.
It is posible to follow me at www.rolstoelpelgrim.nl/blog also on Facebook and Instagram (search for rolstoelpelgrim )

You have just got a fan. I will follow you, every turn of the wheel. Thank you, I was sad at first till I noticed the English language option.
Buen camino, 1000 times.

I’ll think of you next time I think I’m having a hard day’s walk.

Ik ben erg onder de indruk. Ik wens je een geweldige camino.

Thank you all.
The English translation is not complete yet. I have not enough time on my way to translate everyday, but when I am home I will complete it, also the French translation.
An other option is to use the translation of the browser (with chrome this are the 3 small dots on the right upper corner and in that menu you can find "translate").

I just signed up and found it easy to translate to English. I'm looking forward to following you, and getting up to date from your travels in the past. I've also alerted my niece, who uses a chair. She's always on the lookout for people in chairs breaking through the conventions.

She and I were confirmed to go on the Accessible Camino from Sarria with Justin and Patrick and the I'll Push You group this past June. Now rescheduled for next year, if the Good Lord and St. James see fit.....

Bon Chemin.

Heey, medepelgrim met een beperking. Nice to see fellow pilgrims with a disability here! I'm deeply impressed with your trip - starting from the Netherlands is impressive, doing the Camino at all in a wheelchair is impressive, but BOTH?! Wow!

I signed up to your newsletter, looking forward to the updates!

For me was starting in the Netherlands the safe option. the first 2 years I did Haarlem to Den Bosch and Den Bosch to Maastricht. For me it felt more safe and I know I could be rescued easy in case it was needed. it was not and than I had the courage to go on. And now I am already in the south or France.
But it will take some time before I will arrive in Santiago. While I write this I arrived in Le Puy and I am in the train back home.
Next year I start in Le Puy and hope to roll to Rocamadour.

I loved the Le Puy route and did a detour by train to Rocamadour. Be careful to keep your hand near the brake as the stations of the cross portion is all downhill.

I just found this thread today, and am really touched. Thank you for sharing your epic journey @Wheelchairpilgrim ! Looking forward to next year's installment.

Best of luck for the continuation of your remarkable journey. I have just returned home from covering wheelchair basketball at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo (where the Dutch women won gold) and I was so inspired by the feats of the athletes, as I am by your pilgrimage. Buen camino peregrino!

I discovered that tapping blog opens a format that is easy to copy and paste into deepl. Well worth it! Thank you, Wheelchairpilgrim, and I have no doubt you will close off in the next day or so.
