If your shoelaces are coming untied, you are tying a granny knot, not a square knot. Yes, the same distinction applies to tying a bow. I put right lace over the left and then back under before tying the bow. They never come untied.
I'm opting for heavier boots and doing without the hiking poles, but I'm looking into a cheap, lightweight sleeping bag instead of my goose down 3 pounder.
I have not walked the Camino (planning to begin about September 1, 2012), but I have hiked a few hundred miles on the Appalachian Trail, a few days on the RheinBurgenWeg, and a lifetime of backpacking. . I will be 73 when my walk begins in September. Advice:(1) if you have the time, take it...
As I continue to plan my walk, I'm hoping to continue to Finisterre and Muxia, but it would be nice not to have to walk back. Does anyone know if there is public transportation from Muxia or Finisterre back to Santiago. Thank you.
