Questions about walking alone
When I set off on my first camino I was a 19yr old lad. Within 2 days I met other lone walkers who quickly became my family so much so that we walked all the way to Finisterre together. To this day we talk on facebook. Daunting at first perhaps, but once you get into the swing of things it's...- DoubtingThomas

Walking shoes (not boot's)
Diogo, I wore North Face running shoes in 2009 and am wearing the same pair (!!!) for the Camino Primitivo this year. Mine have walked literally thousands of miles and I wouldn't consider anything other than these! Downsides: they let water in Upside: they dry super quick, they're lightweight...- DoubtingThomas

Camino Primitivo without preparation
Many thanks for both of your replies, I think I'll just go and get on with it! Mary - Thank you for the Eroski recommendation, I will look into it. I recall Melide to have the most mouthwatering of octopus so perhaps returning won't be so bad after all! Terry - thank you for your reply, I...- DoubtingThomas

Camino Primitivo without preparation
Hallo all, I'm thinking of returning to do the Camino Primitivo in the next week, this is a spur of the decision move and my final opportunity for 'adventure' before I hit the 9-5. I'm well versed on Oviedo and indeed Asturias. As such, I know it's quite hilly! I've walked the length of the...- DoubtingThomas
