    Australians gored in Pamplona

    It's almost inevitable to hear some controversy around the San Fermin festival. The festival is many generations old and may continue for many generations to come. Just because many in this generation don't agree, does not make their perspective valid. People come from all over the world to...

    Water and footwear

    @Yostony Drawing up a plan before walking sounds like a good idea, unfortunately I went the other way and began walking first probably because I was a novice. My journey began with no pack and regular footwear walking about 4km or so. After a while I started purchasing gear from hiking stores...

    Water and footwear

    Hi Jostony, I'm training for Camino and found that I have the same questions you're asking. I've taken the training approach of increasing my walking distance slowly over time and now reached 20 km with a full pack weight of 10-12kg on the weekends. My pack isn't complete so I add 5kg weight...

    Blister defense

    I recently came across a sock liner called ArmaSkin A sock liner sold here in Australia which prevents blisters on your feet. The claim is that if you were to get a blister while using the product then your the first and they will give you a full refund. Well with a claim like that I thought...

    A spot to place a stone

    Is there an equivalent place to the Cruz de Ferrol along the Via de la Plata Cameno where pilgrims lay a stone symbolising what they want to leave behind before rebirth on the last part of the Cameno? As part of my Cameno I'd like to lay a stone and unload precedent life burdens. There is a...

    Time to campeed, vaseline or duct tape?

    I trialled the sock liners over the weekend for the first time, on a 4 hr walk through our local suburban walking trails. No hot spots and no blisters to speak of. I did however need to adjust them towards the end of the day, because they were pulling on my big toe, but I find that happens with...

    Time to campeed, vaseline or duct tape?

    Got mine yesterday and have made plans to use them this weekend on a 20km city walk. My wife & son thought it hilarious that I watched a Utube video on your site, on how to put on the socks.

    July clothes

    The Galician weather is warm days and warm nights. Think of your typical Melbourne summer day.

    Time to campeed, vaseline or duct tape?

    I've been worried about blisters forming during those long hot days of walking and read a lot on how to avoid them. I'm now going to trial a sock called ArmaSkin(armaskin.com). The manufacturer claims that no-one has ever gotten a blister using the ArmaSkin liner and if for some reason you do...

    Via de la Plata, Portuguese variant

    Hi Gracethepilgrim I have been planning to walk the Sanabres and starting in Verin. A good booklet I found was well worth downloading. It shows both the northern and southern trails along with some inspirational photos along the way. I've also found that there is construction on the northern...

    Anyone need footwear/foot advice?

    Can I ask a silly question? Do you apply Vaseline all over your foot or just between the toes? Wouldn't it melt and be absorbed by your socks and shoes? Does it stop your feet from breathing?

    What is the significance of abandoned walking boots?

    The owner ascended to heaven? Or maybe, now walks an inch above the ground.

    Items mailed or left behind

    What happens to all the equipment left behind? Especially in Santiago. There must be lots of equipment that people don't bring back and is still useful. Someone should set up an exchange store at the beginning and end of the trail, so pilgrims can buy supplies at the beginning of the trail and...

    Here's everything for our June Camino

    I'm only a newby but I have read that some parts of the Cameno is along busy roads. I'd consider something like a flashing red light reflector that bicyclist use attached to my backpack. Buen Cameno
