Thread 'Option to ignore moderators'
Hola It is a bit sensitive area I wander into, but I would like to know if it could be possible to ignore moderators please? The reason behind this question is, that over the last 13 years I have been a member of this forum, there have occationally been members who, in my opinion, have dominated the forum with instant answers to every thread and, in my opinion, forced their views upon the forum in a way, that I not found positive for my experience of the foum. Personally, I like to see a...- lettinggo

Thread 'The Camino and maybe not quite 'getting it'?'
There was a recent thread about EST (Erhard Seminars Training) which I have to say I have never hear of, but it got me thinking. I undertook some rather 'left field' training about 10 years ago, that may have some lessons for those grappling with their first Camino. It turned out to be the weirdest and most wonderful experience ever........ It's a bit of a story...........sorry. Stay with me......it's relevant, I promise. A good friend of mine, a business mentor, persuaded me to take...- Robo

Thread 'We worry about grams ... then there is Clara Wilkes ...'
Hi all - I have often wondered about the whole cutting grams, going as light as .. (I do it too!!) .. thinking about the "real" world with soldiers on the march and what they carry .. Roman legions ... now I have discovered Clara Wilkes - and she puts us all to shame. No special and expensive 'outdoor costumes' (no gears on that bike either!) Oh my ... and here is me posting on other threads about not buying backpacks that weigh 1.2 kilos when you can get one that weighs 900gms ... oh dear...- David

Thread 'Cell phone service and navigation apps'
Moderator note: This post and several following ones have been moved from another thread on a slightly different topic. But as you say it does not work without a data connection, so why not use google maps to start with and download the map data before you leave "home".- Camo

Thread 'Attempted a long stay Schengen visa… I failed'
I was hoping to do a walk over ninety days so I researched a long stay visa. This walk would have gone through four countries but the majority of the time would have been in France. So I applied for a long stay visa to allow me to stay for six months. Although I was applying in France the visa would allow entrance into other Schengen countries. A requirement for the visa though is that the majority of your time should be in France. I applied knowing this and found the process to be a...- Willdtrout

Thread 'A frivolous question regarding credenciales past and present'
Apologies to those who detest frivolous questions - please move on; nothing to see here. When I walked my first camino from Chartres to SdC (autumn/winter, 1998), no matter where I stayed - mostly campsites and modest hostels in France, almost exclusively refugios in Spain - the person I dealt with would stamp the credencial, date it, sign it, and quite often add some kind of comment. It really personalised the credencial, and helped me to remember the people I'd met. On subsequent...- Takahiwai

Resource 'Invierno Forum Guide'
Updated January 25th 2019: The 2019 version has just been posted. Hot off the press -- This guide replaces the 2018 edition. It is much improved. I am very thankful to the many pilgrims who have helped with updates. I expect there will be an uuptick in the number of Invierno pilgrims, now that the Xunta has officially recognized the route. Please -- if you use this guide, remember that its success depends exclusively on having new pilgrims pay it forward. There is currently one...- peregrina2000
