Coming to you "live" from Sarria on the Francés route, where I am meeting up with pilgrim Maurice, who was my guest in episode 12 from season two.

In this episode I share tips from the trail. Here is what we are going to be talking about:

 >> How to stay safe when walking on the road

 >> How to make sure you have the right size boots

>> How to "condition" (not "train") for the Camino

>> How to use trekking poles (?) correctly

>> When to find food

>> Another suggestion for a Camino guidebook

Can't wait to hear from YOU!

Is it time for you to make your Camino dream a reality? I can help you get from your front door to Saint Jean Pied de Port and on to Santiago de Compostela - without missing a step.

The Camino Frances Getting Started Audio Guide takes you step by step, from where you are now to your dream of walking the Camino Francés.

Have you found Leigh Brennan's podcast, The Camino Cafe? Leigh started her podcast during the pandemic, to bring isolated pilgrims together in a time when we couldn't walk the Camino. Three years later, she has interviewed dozens of pilgrims, each with a unique and interesting story.

I had the pleasure of being a guest on Leigh's podcast in February 2023. Here is the link for that.

And here is the link for our fun 20 Camino questions episode.

Here are two videos to show you how to use the straps on your trekking poles to their best benefit. The second video also shows you other tips and tricks for getting the most out of your poles.
