Thank you but it was just putting one foot in front of the other day after day. A good way to spend one’s retirement ☺️ No I didn’t send anything ahead, carried 5 kg all the way and yes they did make it to Day 110! I carried 1 pants, skirt... -
Amazing - but please tell me you sent clothes ahead and that wonderfully neat skirt and purple top did not come out of your pack on day 110!

I walked the Via Francigena alone from Canterbury to Rome starting July 30/24 arriving Nov 16/24 at St. Peter’s Basilica. I walked 102 days and took 8 rest days. I have dual citizenship so was very fortunately not restrained by the 90 Schengen...

I walked my first Camino in mid-April 2015. I only booked the first night in SJPdP after landing in Madrid, and the last night before flying home. I didn't even know that many albergues also had a few private rooms. I winged it every day on the... -

You bet. I will walk until I don't. Actually, the events of last year have made me even more determined to walk Caminos until I fall down...... What an exit that would be! Going down doing what you love. After my "death sentence" many...

I have done five caminos. I walked my first at 73 years old. I walked the last one this year in June and July at 81 years old and like all pilgrims I am planning my next one for 2026 when I will be 86. I have had no problems with any of them. I...

One of the best things about walking the Camino is that there’s no one way to do it. Each day’s distance can be adjusted to suit our needs, making it accessible for all ages and abilities. My husband and I celebrated birthdays along the way this...

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...
