Great effort mate! Well done!!Hi all. For those starting out soon - I will be on Camino doing first aid from the 5th September. (For those who don't know, I have been visiting Camino to offer first aid since 2006).
Due to a worsening of an old knee trauma I am not able to walk distances anymore so I have recreated my mission. Taking my little Toyota Yaris and using the campsite at Irache for a base. Camping Iratxe - right on the Camino about 1km after the wine fountain so roughly halfway between Pamplona and Logrono.
(By the way, they have tiny log cabins to rent for a night, or longer if needed. Tiny bedroom, bathroom, covered porch, electricity, heating - https://www.campingiratxe.com/es/alojamientos/habitaciones-multiples.html )
Being mobile now I have printed some cards to hand out with a phone number on them. I can be texted, WhatsApped, or phoned ... willing to go upstream as far as Roncesvalles or down to Logrono if needed so please do take a photo of my number, just in case.
I will possibly hang around the Irache wine fountain early mornings then drive 'upstream' and visit various stopping points such as cafes and then refugios later in the day - my main evening refugios town will be Estella but no fixed plan really, will move as feels right day to day (which is more or less how I live anyway).
So if you are hurting and/or cannot walk on, left meds back at the last refugio, need a lift to a hospital or doctor, footwear shredded and need to get to a trekking shop ... you can see the options .. get in touch and if I can come I will.

Buen Camino! - is a uk number set to roaming but WhatsApp is free as possibly are texts, and short calls won't cost much.

And my first aid sign which will be with me and visible - as I will be, my clothing is all Franciscan brown - come and say hello.

This is just a wonderful thing you are doing. Maybe you could document it on YouTube like your documentary that I have watched a few times. Which is one of my 2 favorites.Hi all.

David, I would love to watch your Youtube video/documentary as it was mentioned in post #5. Would you please share the link here?
How wonderful you are finding a creative way to continue helping pilgrims, not only with their minor injuries, but also with rides when needed. You are definitely a Camino angel.
Such a meaningful mission, David! I'll be walking around the same time and hope to bump into you and get some amazing stories....I've added your number but it's not showing up on whatsappHi all.

Ah, thanks. The number is a second SIM in my phone. I thought it would work automatically on WhatsApp - I was wrong. I have now linked that number to WhatsApp so should work.Such a meaningful mission, David!

David, muchas gracias for all your help to pilgrims over the years. But now, why not just enjoy walking the less walked Caminos more? Buen Camino
Bless you and your work, David. So good that we have met April 17 2024 on the Meseta and that I could give you the 20 euro I’ve found on the road near St. Anton for your first aid kit. Still hear your voice telling: walk straight up like King Charles (saying: hello, hello) and: make little steps. Afterwards you helped me with my (very) little toe on the terrace from the albergue of Calzadilla de la Cueza. Maybe you don’t feel you make the difference, but in my opinion you’re gold. By the way: my husband bought the hat you advised and he loves it.
Pax et Bonum, beautiful soul.
This may sound odd, but it may also be because so many of us (me) on the Camino these days are considerably older than pilgrims used to be--and we are very conscious of what we CANNOT do and make an effort to take good care of ourselves on the Camino. And we no longer have to prove that we CAN do things we shouldn't.The same, no pilgrims needing first aid, but thank you.
Hmmm, I hadn't thought of this before, but you are possibly on to something.This may sound odd, but it may also be because so many of us (me) on the Camino these days are considerably older than pilgrims used to be--and we are very conscious of what we CANNOT do and make an effort to take good care of ourselves on the Camino. And we no longer have to prove that we CAN do things we shouldn't.
Last May was my 7th Camino and my first blister. My feet spread out a bit more and my little toe isn’t as firm as it was and wants to hide under number four. Welcome friction in the socksThis may sound odd, but it may also be because so many of us (me) on the Camino these days are considerably older than pilgrims used to be--and we are very conscious of what we CANNOT do and make an effort to take good care of ourselves on the Camino. And we no longer have to prove that we CAN do things we shouldn't.
