    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Maths and Covid 19

    The bell curve is not appropriate Instead what we are plotting in a time-series is say exp(k*time) with k being the rate of growth If we take the log of the formula (just k*time), we get a chart that increases linearly with a slope of k (say k=0.2 or 20%) - so log-linear and exponential growth...

    Cancelled Flights

    It's more likely that the flights are being cancelled in date order - hence your return might be cancelled as well in a few weeks time

    El Brusco - That hill between Berria and Noja

    I stopped at the bottom to let what I thought was a single jogger go by - it turned out that he was leading a group of army cadets running up the hill - so I really had little choice but to race up It's more of a short, sharp sandy path - go steady on the descent and keep an eye out for bushes

    If you had one week...

    You don't have to take the alpine route - the flatter path is still enjoyable

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Maths and Covid 19

    Given the high rate of growth, it's much better to plot the number of cases with a log scale - this also allows you to compare the resulting slopes for different countries

    If you had one week...

    Pretty easy - start from Irun and walk as far as you can

    Santiago pilgrim office now CLOSED - Compostela to be sent out by post

    Though they might need a bigger box when Holy Year comes round!

    StJPdP to Finisterre in 30 Days - Sample Itinerary?

    It's foolhardy to post such an open-ended question (without mentioning what time of year, how fit you are, what type of accommodation you will stay in and so on) and then request no books - well for a start you should get a guidebook such as Brierley and look at how much ascent and descent there...

    Nordic walking vs. Trekking Poles

    I continue to be amazed how few people I see in daily life walking with poles and yet people seem to find them essential on the camino

    One Albergue that you’d recommend

    Look under the resources heading at the very top of this page

    Advice on getting to St Jean PdP from Barcelona?

    You might like to edit this! PS for a serious walker, 40km per day for 20 days is no problem (though I did have a half-day in Leon)

    Credential...enough space?

    Best to have one single credential - collect one stamp per day and simply add a second stamp at the same place when you recommence your camino each year - no problem with overflowing

    Elevation Gain on Camino Frances

    Exactly the sort of information worth buying a good guidebook for!

    Ingles weather in May - something resembling a real question

    I can't imagine that a couple of weeks would make any difference to rain - you should worry more about muddy conditions underfoot
  17. S

    Umbrellas

    You'll end up carrying your umbrella for much, much longer than actually using it! I get by with a French foreign legion style hat - made by Lowe Alpine some years ago

    Exploration day at the end: Estella or Los Arcos?

    I'd be spending a couple more days in Bilbao

    Problems with Carry-on Back Packs

    From the TSA You are allowed to bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes in your carry-on bag and through the checkpoint. These are limited to travel-sized containers that are 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item. So, one bag for liquids and nothing that...

    These nail clippers or something similar should be OK https://www.boots.com/boots-toe-nail-clippers-1-pair-10115054
