by site editor Rick McCharles
I’m booked for my 4th WCT. 🙂
It’s been our #1 hike in the world since 1999.
Getting ready, I’m drafting a new WCT information page. Leave comments on that page, if you have anything to add.
If you don’t know the adventure, watch my favourite WCT video.

Be warned the trek has been degraded in recent years by road building. If that bothers you, head for one of the many good Himalayan alternatives.

The Way – the film
The Way is a 2010 American drama film. It is a collaboration between Martin Sheen and his son Emilio Estevez to honour the Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James) and promote the traditional pilgrimage. …
Plot
Thomas Avery is an American ophthalmologist who goes to France following the death of his adult son, killed in the Pyrenees during a storm while walking the Camino …
Tom’s purpose is initially to retrieve his son’s body. However, in a combination of grief and homage to his son, Tom decides to walk the ancient spiritual trail where his son died. …
He reluctantly falls in with three other pilgrims …. Joost is an overweight man from Amsterdam who says he is walking the route to lose weight … Sarah … is fleeing an abusive husband, who says she is walking the pilgrimage to quit smoking. Jack is an Irish travel writer who when younger had desires to be great author like Yeats or Joyce but never wrote the novel he dreamed of. …
The film has been well received. It has garnered a “Certified Fresh” rating of 82% on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes …
The consensus description is: “It may be a little too deliberately paced for more impatient viewers, but The Way is a worthy effort from writer/director Emilio Estevez, balancing heartfelt emotion with clear-eyed drama that resists cheap sentiment.”
It is pretty good. I’m still leaning towards mountain biking The Way, however, rather than walking it.
I joined Netflix.ca in order to FINALLY watch this film. 🙂
