    Pilgrim shame

    Say @Walkervine, when I read your post this morning (#112 above) I did read it as rather judgemental but after reading these subsequent posts I went back and re-read it. Reading with the view that it isn't judging the post absolutely comes across that way. It does seem to lack tact though...

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    Four different recent local walks at four different locations. The last one shows the poison ivy turning colors. I take lots of photos of poison ivy for some crazy reason.

    Camino Frances Large scale printable map

    If you can't find anything already done in printable format and you have access to each stage's GPS track (done in the GPX format) you can create your own profiles using https://www.gpsvisualizer.com/profile_input It does a lot so it's not the easiest thing to use.

    Washing on the Camino

    🤣 Almost five years ago now on the Camino Catalan I did this. In Google Maps I entered "laundry (laundromat?) near me" and up popped the spot ... in the Philippines! It was named Laundry Near Me. Clever advertising. It looks like Google has fixed this but you might see a list of identically...

    Lost items tales

    In Barcelona I loosen my trousers, get access to my ATM card in my money pouch and use it to get 300€. I put 50 into my wallet, fold up the remainder in a wad and slide it and the ATM card into the pouch and zip it up. Now Peg and I walk a short way to the beach. After some time there we head...

    Lost items tales

    Not too long ago I did a forum search looking for the tale of a boy's lost teddy bear. I had no luck. Can anyone else find it?

    Question..Donativo/Muni albergues OR Private lodgings?

    Chris I think you should stay at albergues of any type otherwise you would be depriving pilgrims of the pleasure of your company. ;)

    If you get lost on the trail answer your phone!

    Tinc, these stories may be a bit tough for you to read and listen to but I think in the end you will be glad that you had. This is the story of a rescue that occurred at about the same spot as the place where I wrote a hiker died a few weeks ago. It is a rewrite or retitling of a previous story...

    If you get lost on the trail answer your phone!

    I've decided to tell you about my 911 call in the mountains. Two years ago we were camping at the base of a mountain. We had no cell service there. I left for a 4 mile day hike up the mountain, 4 miles down the other side and 4 miles along a dirt road back to the campsite. I forgot how bad the...

    If you get lost on the trail answer your phone!

    I read this many years ago so I can only remember the basics of the story but here it is. A man hiking/climbing in the Andes gets in a terrible situation and needs help. He tries to call but he had let his minutes run out. Oops. His phone later rings. Its a salesman from the telco saying they...

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    Last year I reported here on a walk with miniature birdhouses marking trails.

    Small (4-5 kg which is about 10 pounds) dog -- should I bring her?

    In our local news recently there was a story of a dog who ran off after being frightened by fireworks on Independence Day. I think it was seven weeks before it captured, in a sad state, and returned to its family. I'm pretty sure I've read here about fireworks scaring off a dog on the camino...

    Best book for all routes

    Thank you @Kirkie for (1) staying active on the forum and (2) reminding me of the Eroski website. It has been a long time since I've visited it. Automatically translated into English and somewhat flowery English at that. The mistranslations are fun to work out. When I looked at what...
