Seriously? Both tibias??
Wow. And you made it to Santiago?
What an amazing story.
Thank you for the excellent advice, hard-won!
Just don't take too much, if you like your kidneys.
Hey there! I wanted to chat about my experience on the 2017 Camino Frances. I'm pretty average physically, maybe a tad overweight, did some training (could've done more), and could've lightened my backpack a bit.
Started off strong from SJPP...
Can I turn this? I’ll turn this. The most dangerous place on the Camino Frances, or any other Camino, is the gap between expectation and reality. Many have fallen there. Yes there are places where the footing is a bit challenging and there are...
Dear forummembers,

An aside, but with some possible relevance...
Thanks for all of this. As you say, I am a regular stone production factory and I have had numerous visits with my doctors. I've also had mine blown up. It is more of a travel insurance issue now because stones are "pre-existing condition"...
@Tom Conklin you’re not drinking enough water when you’re walking and you know you’re not. It’s habituated self-destruction and you badly need to break that habit. Waiting to drink until you feel thirsty is like planning for a car crash. Drink at...
