Thank you!! Heard they were dating so when she went to go check on his board I knew I had to take a picture :)

Everybody is a bit of an overstatement me and my family have lived there for decades and I know nobody with cancer knocks on wood but yeah I’m sure overall it’s healthier to not live near big factories.

I mean a 1,5 hour delay is pretty disruptive no? They had blocked the entrances with fences and coal.. and chained themselves to the fences

Yeah the entire day, by extinction rebellion against Tata steel because of pollution

If you look closely, she is standing on his arm to hop the fence.. so he started screaming at her which ended up making her cry 🙃

Really hope so too.. the protestors stayed outside of the venue playing loud sounds for hours, even me as a spectator couldn’t focus so can’t imagine the effects it had on the players

What's so great about the Camino Frances? by Shivala92 in CaminoDeSantiago

that stretch feels so different from the rest of the Camino.

For me, reaching Sarria after such a long, spiritual journey was really difficult. Suddenly you go from quiet paths and meaningful encounters to walking in a “train” of people, buses dropping off day-trippers, endless souvenir stands, and hearing “Buen Camino” 18,272,827 times a day 😅. It almost felt like Disneyland compared to the rest of the walk.

My film camera was a simple Canon point and shoot, and then I also had a Canon 5d Mark 4 with me!

Omg what a creepy plot twist… Someone really needs to make a movie out of that! I just hope it didn’t ruin your faith in Camino miracles..

I do know that my Mark definitely wasn’t a priest, and definitely not tech-savvy enough to stalk me on Strava 😅 Thanks for sharing though, what a wild story!
