      Simon Shum reacted to wisepilgrim's post in the thread Albergues from Lisboa to Porto with Thank you Thank you.
      The differences in the camino from Lisbon to Porto between 10 years ago, and now, cannot be overstated. Between major route changes, and the arrival and disappearance of several albergues, the two share little in common. The net change though...

      Simon Shum reacted to Waka's post in the thread Old Camino Walkers with Buen Camino! Buen Camino!.
      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...

      Simon Shum reacted to wisepilgrim's post in the thread Introducing the Forum Camino Planner with Thank you Thank you.
      The Camino Planner As the click-clack of walking sticks fades here in Santiago, the tap-tap of my keyboard picks up with exciting changes planned for 2025. Earlier this summer, we published the complete content of the Wise Pilgrim guides here...

      Simon Shum reacted to Kirkie's post in the thread Introducing the Forum Camino Planner with Thank you Thank you.
      You keep on doing good works! I worked a bit on it, but stopped because my experience is not really useful for today's members. I do love going over my camino though, from 2006, as it reminds me of a unique experience that influenced me deeply...

      Simon Shum reacted to MARSKA's post in the thread Aging On The Camino with Thank you Thank you.
      At 67 this is something I take seriously. I'll keep doing all I can to keep doing all I am able as it is all I can do. I'm ok with my decay; I have no choice, so I'll rejoice.
