I find the notion of being able to walk in quiet contemplation quite appealing. It was one of the attractions of walking the Gudbrandsdalsleden when I first walked there over a decade ago after walking the much busier CF in 2010. Finding these...
True. But that wasn't/isn't always a blessing. I have sometimes added a few km to my day to put some distance between myself and an overly-demanding and intrusive specimen.
The responses above sadden me beyond, well beyond, my ability to respond to what they have written ...
Have modern humans gone so far in lack of humility and awareness of other? Is the modern world so lost and ego-centric that people can go on...
It's now seven weeks since I returned from doing he Frances and what a wonderful 40 days it was. I'm sure there are possible pilgrims out there that worry that they may be too old to walk the camino, but I can assure you there is no age barrier...

Thank you for trying to save our dear friend Michael's life today. I think it is him you are referring to. We are in shock and will miss him massively. He was a remarkable man.
