MarkEveleigh replied to the thread September Packing List (CF starting in SJPdP).I would highly recommend travelling with a water-filter bottle. (There are several recommendable brands on the market but I've always used LifeStraw). You're walking the CF so are likely to be well-supplied with water along the way but carrying a... -

@surelygoodness, welcome to the forum. Book: no, just take photos with your pH of any pages you feel might be of relevance. Nowadays I prefer a poncho over a raincoat but that's a very individual thing. Both work, but you don't need both! Rain... -

MarkEveleigh replied to the thread Which way to go...?.With two weeks to walk I would absolutely recommend the Camino del Invierno.

Hello Michele - a couple of years ago (2022) I walked a Camino with my granddaughter. We met up with a German pilgrim, a woman walking alone, who also spoke no Spanish, and we spent a few hours together as my granddaughter and she got along well...

Hi, I am 56 and completed the Camino Frances ‘alone’. I wasn’t at all sure what to expect, but it really was a wonderful experience. I actually found that I was never ‘alone’ unless I chose to be (or was walking too fast!) - and something that I...

From your post, I sense less "afraid/nervous" and more "excited." As well you should be! You are heading for an amazing adventure of a lifetime, one it sounds like you have been preparing for. Of course you should be excited!! I've done the...
