    Pee Cloth - leave no trace

    Thank you I am very interested in how they work. Please let us know. Some may think this a topic of little concern, but hygiene is my first priority, not only personal but environmentally.

    Pee Cloth - leave no trace

    That is a really good point. Thank you.

    Pee Cloth - leave no trace

    I love that you are all challenging yourselves to be better pilgrims. You all have some great ideas to try out. Don't let anyone discourage you from giving your idea a go. We all have different bodily needs. For example I will be using a stand up and pee this trip. I am now 60 and taking...

    funniest things seen abandoned on camino

    I volunteered in Viana for 2 weeks and one night around the dinner table 3 of the pilgrims that were walking together shared this story. The 3 had started out from Los Arcos that morning. While they were walking, blisters on one of the girls feet became so painful that she wasn't able to go...

    Ladies only, please!

    I just want to share a product for women that I came across here in the US on a recent million women march on Washington. Women were passing out a product called "Stand Up And Pee" You may google this as there are many varieties. Some are disposable that you can put in a plastic baggy and...

    Pants or Shorts in Late May and June??

    I'm sure I must be misreading this message, but I would like to clarify myself, because it sounds as if you are calling me an awful person, which I'm sure you didn't mean. I wrote in response to a question asking if long pants or shorts were better. I suggested long pants were better because I...

    Pants or Shorts in Late May and June??

    I have walked many Camino's over the past 10 years in many countries and I always wear the zip hiking pants. You can hem them as I do, I am also hobbitesque. I suggest always wearing the long pants while hiking for one good reason, the tiny red spiders that bite the people in shorts and send...

    Why you should not walk the Camino del Norte (or at least not until you have read this post!)

    Hi Annette, I walked the via Francigena last October. I can recommend it highly. Some suggestions are a good place to begin is Lucca. Also don't do this one alone something I would not say in Spain. I ended up at the last minute walking with, because I met them the night before I began...

    Yep, France has bedbugs, too.

    France is the only place I experienced bed bugs. I found the private homes and farms were very clean and expensive for a pilgrim's pocket, although I clearly can justify the price that has to be charged. It was the real hostels, outside of train stations, in towns that were infested. I guess...

    Which route?

    Hello, I think that it depends what you are looking to get from your walk. The last 100 KM to Santiago on the french route will get you the experience of walking into Santiago to experience the ecstasy of all the pilgrims that have traveled over 500 miles to arrive there. It is quite a joyous...
