    Most helpful advice before and during Camino

    For someone who might instinctively feel different about the thoughtful advice provided I was a contrarian for the following reasons; start slowly - went up and over the pyrnees the first day put Vaseline on your feet - seemed to me that Vaseline would cause more friction which is what you are...
