S3E10 Carrying the Prayers of Pilgrims on my Camino #camino
Просмотров 281Год назад
Nearly 70 pilgrims and families asked me to pray on their behalf at cathedrals and places of natural beauty throughout Italy during my Via Francigena pilgrimage to Rome. Born of all types of human conditions, their prayers were simultaneously the lightest and heaviest thing I carried along my journey. The experience changed me, my Camino, and the way I see view the power of pilgrimage. DISCUSSI...

    She has a very strange idea about what constitutes completing a Camino It's quite clear that her claim to have done ten Caminos is bunkum. Doing a section or arriving off a plane just in time to rush to the cathedral is not completing a Camino. As a genuine Camino veteran of eleven full Caminos starting in 2007(plus in August/September I will be walking the Frances again), I get annoyed with people making false claims.

Yesterday certainly gave me some confidence and I walked one half of one stretch then turned round and walked back to where I’d parked my car (if the makes sense). I did not drink water every hour so I need to be careful to do that. I was carrying a pack pack with 2/3 of what I’m going to take. Anyhow, better I listen to you now. Thank you for your channel.

I'm would like to finish around mid-July, a little later is ok, and allow plenty of time to linger a day or more in any town I find particularly charming or if I just need a rest day. What is a good starting point? And what is the ground transportation like to get to starting point?

    • @SacredSteps
      @SacredSteps Год назад

      Larger cities do have public restrooms, but most towns and villages do not have facilities along the Camino. The majority of restroom breaks will be at cafes, bars, and restaurants, which make facilities available to paying customers. Purchase a water/coffee/snack and use the facilities. In natural areas, you may need to use the restroom in the forest, but be sure to pack any tissues into a zipper bag to disclose of later rather than leaving tissues in the wilderness. Buen Camino!

      Not at all. Those two weeks don’t see a huge variation in weather patterns, unlike starting in early vs. mid-October. 40 days is a great Camino with at least one rest day per week.

    This is a great idea. I used a tube like this on my trip to Paris on the way to the Camino Frances last year. I was allowed to carry them on the plane on the way over. However, I didn't keep the tube and tried to just pack the poles in my backpack. They were confiscated at the airport in Madrid on my way home. I should have checked my backpack going home but wanted to carry it onboard. It was an expensive loss. Probably would have been easy to pick up a tube in Madrid.

      I use an ultralight quilt from Enlighted Equipment for my backcountry hikes, but it is too much for the Camino (rated 20* F). You only need a light down for Camino - 650 fill weight. The down camping blankets fit the bill at a fraction of the price.

    Thnaks for this video. I am comtemplating going on the Camino in October, probably the Ignatian Camino, so this option sounds very good to me. I went on the Camino in January 2015, 2016, and 2017. A sleeping bag was great in those months, but it was also the heaviest thing I had in my backpack. I love the solitude of the Camino in winter.

    • @SacredSteps

      If you go in October, Fr, take a down comforter at 800 fill weight. It will weigh about 1.5 pounds but keep you warm to 30 degrees. The 650 blankets are really just ideal to 55 degrees. Of course you could wear your puffy in bed! 😆 Buen Camino!

    @encouragesolutions2595 Год назад

    I expect this training plan is done to suit people who work 5 days a week but it seems a lot on the low end, also upper body strength to deal with a backpack should maybe considered. I'm going on the Camino in June and started training yesterday in serious fashion. I did 24km. It took 6hr 15min with 3 short breaks in new shoes. I'm very overweight but I now know how hard it feels (early) to do a day's trek, blisters and all. As I live in a flat country, the use of stairs is a great way to train and if you use Komoot for trekking you can see the incline gains and distances and compute a number of flights of stairs and times required to simulate the effort. You cannot compute wind, rain and temperature though 😄 I also liked the advice that time is not a major factor as you have approx 12-15 hours to do your trek in a summer day anyway. Being last is not a position, and rather it may be being first in the enjoyment of the journey and geography. For me, losing weight will be critical as the more weight you have on your body and pack, the more pressure on hips, back, knees and feet.

    • @SacredSteps
      @SacredSteps Год назад

      Thanks for the feedback. The advice is not targeted to any one demographic, rather taking from my experience of walking in England, Scotland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, and across the USA. The training that needs to be done is incremental strength for the soles of you feet, your quads, and back. If you build strength methodically you will be well-prepared for the day-to-day of walking 10-20 miles for pilgrimage. If you live in a flat area, a great tip is to walk up and down parking garage (car park) ramps. And while I really don't suggest anyone begin with 24k, you must be really proud of that big first day. Learn what works best for you and take it slow. Thank you for subscribing! Buen Camino!
