    Are you planning your (next) camino? Well, I am

    Hello. I walked the Frances Sept - Oct '23 and thought that would be enough. But it's the last thing I think about before I go to sleep and now the thoughts are taking a more definate shape. I'd like to walk the Frances again, for all I didn't give attention to before, but I'm also wondering...

    Senior Walking the Portuguese Coastal Route in the Rain: Advice Needed

    I walked the Camino Frances in very heavy rain at the end of October and as well as changing socks when I could, I slipped my feet into light plastic bags then into my boots. It wasn't perfect but it did delay getting them wet.

    High Vis Vest?

    High Vis Vest?

    I did get reflective tape but it's not sticking on rucksack, but would, I'm sure, stick to my poles, so will take this with me, and will try it 'hanging off my pack' instead of trying to stick it on. Thanks!

    The dreaded plantar fasciitis - just as I’m about to start…

    Hello, that sounds like a plan, then see how it feels, and is what I intend doing. I've been given several foot exercises to do and will try and make time to do them in the hope it doesn't get worse. It's lucky white heather, just when you need your feet to be in the best shape. Good luck...
