Epicamino

[david1]

10.30 and it's second breakfast time already . Here's some pics

 

[david1]

Here's my resting place today. The Aitzenea, rough and ready, but all the important stuff like washing machines, kitchen etc.

Going to get to Sarria tomorrow, or close to it. Should I be worried about a bed, with the increase in pilgrim numbers?

 

[david1]

A little hamlet called Ramil...

 

[NorthernLight]

I recognize that tree.

It's Sunday, the Spanish crowd should have departed Sarria over the weekend, certainly by tomorrow morning. You may have those who had longer travels to get there starting tomorrow or Tuesday. Sarria can absorb a lot. If you do find it difficult to find a bed, get your stamp and head to the next village.

Your bigger risk is catching up to them!

Consider stopping in Samos for a short day and a delightful monastery & village!

----
The restaurant/bar at Compexo where you are now, does a €5 breakfast buffet. Really good value. Coffee, juice, cereal, fruit, breads, cheese, jabon.

 

[NorthernLight]

That buffet generally needs to be booked the day before.

 

[david1]

Up and out by 5.30...today is going to be a hot one so I don't want to be walking much after 12.
I pass a vista like this every few minutes it feels like, and each one is as magical as the last my fellow pilgrims.

 

[david1]

Now here was a special place

 

[hecate105]

I don't know if you are still walking but if when you have wifi you download maps.me - its free! and download the parts of france and spain you will travel through. Then when you are offline - you can still use the maps and zoom in AND it tells you where you are!! invaluable instead of or in conjunction with a map... I used it cycling in Asia and it was brill as there were no maps with a decent scale...
Also you can zoom into a section and 'snap' a screenshot - even easier to follow a section... (I was soooo chuffed learning to screenshot..!)
Great journey Pilgrim, an epic pilgrimage indeed!

David, I hope you don't mind if I use the quotation, to post on another thread (the one about a cyclist who is non religious asking about using albergues) ... shoot me if you like. if it helps @baker_999, I know you will approve!

the first one here is kind of typical Galician mystery... thanks once more for your posts, from the very beginning. It has been, and for the next few days, will be, a delight to read them, and look at your photos.

Yes, I remember that place well. Very special and welcoming.

 

[VNwalking]

Walk right on through and stay in Morgade. Much more low-key.
Yes...remember how SJPP felt?
Multiply that by 1000.

Sorry!
But it's only 4, David. You can be there in two shakes of a lamb's tail...
Edit...disregard, David. I'm behind you, clearly.
Thanks @Kathar1na !

 

[Kathor1]

Erm ... I don’t get some of the recent comments, like the one about map.me and the one about SJPP times 1000. @david1 has walked really lots by now and he’s past Sarria, well into Galicia ... so he’s certainly found his way and he has already joined the many on the last 100+ km stretch before Santiago. Or am I mistaken?

Edited: Disregard some of the above. I was ahead of him.

I suspect the map.me poster didn't get past page 1 of this thread. I appreciate their enthusiasm for the app.

Morgade is very nice, I stayed there my last time, but I don't get the comparison to SJPDP. It'll make a nice coffee or second breakfast stop.

. Where is the special albergue with the photos in #507? I think I walked past it and that it was after Sarria, but perhaps I’m wrong or there are two such albergues that look similar? @david1, where ARE you?

That's not an albergue. It's a donativo rest spot on the northern path between Triacastela and Sarria, before the two paths rejoin. So the Samos walkers won't see it. It was run by some Australians a few years ago.

I'm guessing David is in Sarria now.

 

[david1]

In the village of Montan. A Brazilian guy seemed to be running it, he was wonderful and played a key role in making it so special.
I'm currently in Sarria, and on this subject;
Not impressed. Trying my best not to be judgemental, but anyone who thinks that they can do the last 100km or so (which is after all the bare minimum) and claim to be a pilgrim is living in la la land. Let alone learn some of the deep life lessons that the Camino wants to teach, that is simply not going to happen.
I posted a picture of rucksacks being shipped out on the"other social media" yesterday, and a friend commented that when they get home they'll still be carrying the baggage in life that they started out with... not sure where I'm going with this, but you know what I mean my fellow pilgrims.
I guess, for myself, this is another Camino lesson to apply in Life.
Walking the Camino is an almost perfect metaphor for Life IMO.
Anyway, off my soapbox
Plan is to get to sleep very early, then wake up equally early, and get back on the Way that I have grown to love, and be loved by, so much.
Oo! I just shed a tear.. just being.
Until tomorrow my pilgrimating pals!

OK, I’m with you now . There was a minor confusion amongst members of the Epicamino fan club but it’s all clear now: Montán is before Sarria and Morgade is after Sarria. I think this special place is called Tierra de Luz? As I mentioned already, I walked past it not too long ago but I had never heard of it or read about it.

I do hope but then why should I hope? - I know- David will be delighted to see your naming of the Epicamino fan club! That is what it is!

 

[Purky]

David will be delighted to see your naming of the Epicamino fan club!

We need a badge!

 

[david1]

I've finally found a café that's open after walking hungryish for over three hours, and find such lovely posts!
Epicamino fan club?!?!
Purky, that badge is fantastic! I may well have to get a t-shirt
I don't know where I am... geographically anyway But here's this morning's photographic delights;

 

[VNwalking]

David, that line @kirkie quoted?
(Hang on a sec, there's something in my eye...)

You'll be here in Santiago in just a few days, and my one regret about that is that I won't be here in the plaza to give you a standing ovation, peregrino!
May you stay happily ahead of the crowd!

(And ahead..after Portomarin there's a fantastic place for second breakfast. Someone else will remembwr the name of thd place. And outside of Portomarin there's a wonderful camping place...Mariña I think it's called. A km or so north of town...in case you want space from the hordes.)

Going passed Portomarin to Gonzar today.
Hopefully I'll miss the crowds.
Shame that I will miss you in Santiago though, that would have been fantastic.
Best get back on my Way then.

I woke up at 2am (why?)--and I have sat here reading your epicamino posts. Thank-you! My 17yo son and I were walking for 10 days from Belorado to Leon a bit ahead of you-- (arriving at Leon on Good Friday)-- Definitely not a long enough walk. But it was the time I could scrounge up. --. --My thoughts and heart kept going back to the camino, and those I had met while walking. -- Thank-you again for sharing. I wish you a good stay in Santiago. (I stay at Seminario Menor when I am there. Hot showers, beautiful views, and near the market.)

Where are they? I'm in Portomarin at the moment, too tired and hot for another 7km.
Definitely stretching this out a bit...
And here's today's belly laugh I had. Marvelous!

 

[VNwalking]

I'm in Santiago now, and @SabineP and I will start walking from Irun on Friday. So I'm headed out on the train Thursday morning.
Sabine has to go home earlier, so you won't be meeting either of us...Sorry to miss you, David.

 

[david1]

Morning my fellow pilgrims! Only 87km to go

Strangely pleased to see some faggots on my way this morning, I don't know why, maybe I am losing it

Walked into this café this morning and ten minutes later it was like this, why do pilgrims seem to always come in waves? Surely we should be spread out?

Leaving Gonzar now, I'm glad that I didn't push out to it yesterday; it would not have been pleasant.

Peacenlovenostuffx

 

[NorthernLight]

They come in waves as they all stay in the same places, follow the same guidebooks like they were holy script.

Most humans are pack animals and need to be close to the herd.

Baaaaa

Strange. I pushed through Palas de Rei, and thoroughly enjoyed the lack of pilgrims.
It may well be a top tip; avoid the "stages"

 

[Delphinoula]

What’s a faggot music instrument ?
David have you considered walking on to Rome maybe? It’s to much fun following you.

 

[Kathor1]

What’s a faggot music instrument ?

No. The musical instrument you are thinking of is called a bassoon in English. The thing in the photo is a bundle of wooden sticks. A DE-EN dictionary is your friend.

[Turga]

What’s a faggot music instrument ?

It's a word of many meanings...

 

[RemysMimi]

I had intended to embark upon my Camino this March, but one thing and another I found time and money to start now. Fro. St. David's cathedral in West Wales, through to Wells...And I'm leaving Salisbury this morning.
I haven't walked all this way mind! ;-) Doing around 6-8 miles a day on my feet, then finding a sneaky stealthy camp spot. Hitch if I'm back on the road before dark, the odd bus to a weekly YHA stay to freshen up, that kind of thing. Good stuff to get in condition for the actual 100% walk from Paris...And at 51years I need it lol.
Set out on 21st December...And I am having an adventure of a lifetime.!
Just thought I'd check in, introduce myself, before mining the site for information and tips.lol.
Heading out to Winchester cathedral this morning, but with a slightly annoying detour to Southampton to pick up a 4 season sleeping bag. But there again, I'm sure it won't be annoying when I'm all tucked up and toasty...

WOW!! An adventure indeed!

 

[RemysMimi]

Aw.. that's kind From Newcastle emlyn to St.David's I got picked up by a family (Xmas day!) Took me to their house, dinner, charades, bath and tent in their garden! And before setting off the next day they thanked me for making their Christmas special by giving them the opportunity to help a pilgrim out!
Warms a guy up better than a 5 season sleeping bag!

This is one of the big things that make the pilgrimage so special. The wonderful people you encounter along the way. Buen Camino!!

 

[Delphinoula]

Thanks Kath put as Turga said many meanings.

 

[david1]

What’s a faggot music instrument ?
David have you considered walking on to Rome maybe? It’s to much fun following you.

Funny enough I said just that to a priest not far from Paris. (The Rome bit, not the faggot bit )
I have the time but not the money. I've considered whether a newspaper would be equally interested in a weekly column, but it's enough to organise my day let alone arranging that
That being said, I don't intend to hang around in Santiago and I have a few days to fill, so I am going to be turning around and heading... somewhere!

 

[Kathor1]

Thanks Kath but as Turga said many meanings.

Yes indeed, all those who didn’t ask know the other meaning of the word in English.

Below a German Fagott:

 

[RemysMimi]

They put out a fixed amount of wine each day. Too many pilgrims fill their water bottle rather than just take a glassful.

I saw people doing this and was a bit perturbed.

Had lunch a couple of times in Villalcázar de Sirga, in the restaurant across from the church...but never managed to find the church open.
The river way between Fromista and there is much more pleasant than the road.

You're moving right along, David.
Don't go too fast - it'll be over before you know it.

I agree with VNWalking. Looking at your pics and thinking back, I wish I had slowed my pace a bit more. Enjoy the journey.

 

[RemysMimi]

Once again this merry pilgrim is on his way.
I think that I may be leaving the Meseta now judging by the terrain. A town coming up, which means a bank, which means my usual worries of pressing the wrong button and losing my card. Much regrets not learning some Spanish before leaving, but then I did leave two weeks after deciding to go...
View attachment 56769View attachment 56771View attachment 56772View attachment 56773

Whoa! And I thought I was bad leaving 1 month after deciding to go. BTW, you are amazing. I just found your thread this morning and I am almost done. I have thoroughly enjoyed your journey. Brought back so many memories. You the "man".

 

[RemysMimi]

In all honesty the best meal is generally the one I last ate. But a memorable one would be back in France when I once found myself eating bread and water for lunch, but it tasted fantastic!
The albergue "Emaus" in Burgos served a splendid steak...then another...and another!
Today I had cheese and tomato in yesterday's bread... yummy, but looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast!

Manna!!!

I feel you completely. I think this was the only part of the journey where I really started to get annoyed. All the buses and folks hopping on and off just to get their passport stamped, and looking so well dressed (white shorts, really?!) and refreshed just really bothered me. UGH!

When you go to the pilgrim office to get your Compostela, look for forum member & volunteer there - @t2andreo and say hello to him. I think his name is Terry. He's often herding pilgrims in the line and may be game for a beer after his shift. He knows Santiago well.

Well done, pilgrim. Congratulations!

David – congratulations on your definitely EPICamino!!!
I read your first post 2 days ago and have been binge-reading at every opportunity since. Your journey has been beautiful, amazing, inspiring, and thoroughly enjoyable to those of us still behind our screens. It’s been made more so by your spontaneous words and great pics. I will have to go back and read from the beginning as there is so much contained in the thread, and I was ultimately reading too fast. That was because I suddenly realised that it was becoming almost real time as you were getting closer to SdC! The posts were so inclusive and the memories and the feelings you bought back were sometimes a teary affair for me. All the forum members who were with you from the beginning must have run the same gamut of emotion x 1000!
I remember that same feeling of being a bit lost when we finished the CF. We hung around in Santiago for a few days not knowing what to do with ourselves. Thank goodness for the booked return flight
Rest and reflect Senor Peregrino. Buen Camino

I'm now sitting in a beer garden in the "Green Man"
It couldn't be any more English
Sure wish that I was on the Camino though, and miss all the guys so much that I think that it actually hurts.
My tattoo is looking great and I still fully intend to have "Epicamino" underneath.
Picture will be following.
I'll be posting here when I have uploaded my video diary.
And yes I shall be on the forum still, getting envious of the pilgrims, helping out when I can.
Came through customs and the passport control guy shook my hand, said how proud I should feel, wished me "buen Camino!" and waived me on through.made me cry again.
Which sums up the biggest thing that this Camino did for me; restored my faith in humanity. It was at absolute rock bottom. And now it shines.
Thank you Camino

It never leaves you, what good you uncover while walking the way. Welcome home, peregrino, and I am happy for your family to receive home someone with a pilgrim's heart.
Buen camino de la vida - the pilgrimage continues!

 

[Purky]

It has been a pleasure following you on your way.
