    MAlejandraT reacted to montyhiker's post in the thread Night Hikes / Star Gazing with Like.

    Ok, Monty here. Love starting these threads: I learn so much from the Veteran Camino Pilgrims. Thanks in advance. My question: are there so called “Night Hikes” in certain regions to get out and view/explore the awesome stars and constellations...

    MAlejandraT reacted to MilenaS's post in the thread Night Hikes / Star Gazing with Like.

    A couple of years ago I came to the albergue in Villar de Mazarife and was informed by my fellow pilgrims that they planned to start walking around 4 o'clock to walk in the lunar eclipse. The whole room decided to join in (except one other...

    MAlejandraT reacted to trecile's post in the thread Night Hikes / Star Gazing with Like.

    I'm hoping to walk the 17 km stretch between Carrión de los Condes and Calzadilla de la Cueza under the stars this year. I was hoping for a full or almost full moon, but looking the date that I will probably be on that stretch I'm out of luck in...

    MAlejandraT reacted to J Willhaus's post in the thread What do you wish you had worried less about? with Love - Red heart.

    Silly now, but I worried that people would think my feet were unattractive in my sandals since I don't wear nail polish on my toenails. I think I even made a post about. I try to remember that now when I respond to others and help them feel more...

    MAlejandraT reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread When should I stop training? with Like.

    If you have been hiking regularly and are not experiencing any fatigue or discomfort it’s unlikely that your body has any recuperation or recovery needs. I stopped training for hiking somewhen in the 1970’s but I walk perhaps 5 miles a day...

    MAlejandraT reacted to trecile's post in the thread Rough In Planning Support with Like.

    When you are spending over $1000 to travel from N America to Europe, it's a good idea to have at least a loose plan so that you allow yourself enough days to accomplish what you want to accomplish.

    MAlejandraT reacted to good_old_shoes's post in the thread Crazy things people do in the last 100 km with Love - Red heart.

    Found him on the way, just before O Cebreiro. That's him in Santiago, and later at home: Made a poncho for his carrier from a garbage bag. Me in my giant tent-like poncho, and him with the garbage bag, looked ridiculous 🤣. Bought him a...

    MAlejandraT reacted to Robo's post in the thread Even Better than store bought Hikers Wool with Like.

    I've been a fan of Hikers Wool since 2015 when I first used it on Camino. It's wonderful stuff. Providing a soft padding and natural oils on 'hot spots' as they occur, so that blisters can be avoided! I've been trialling a new version of Hikers...

    MAlejandraT reacted to J Willhaus's post in the thread Bed bug research article with Like.

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4553521/ I found this older (2013) scientific article today about bed bugs. It is testing a permethrin impregnated product for a few different things, like killing the bugs and also repelling them and...

    MAlejandraT reacted to Mark Greenwood's post in the thread Memorable Places with Like.

    Hello and appologies if this has already been asked. I've got 35 days until I leave home on route via Paris to SJPD. My bags packed and if I check it anymore I'll go mad! Lol I've read, like all of you, everything I can about the Camino...
