[QUOTE="hampshire!tim, post: 540811, member: 31228"] I once slipped in rain and fell on a steep stretch somewhere after Roncesvalles, and damaged my shoulder and hip. Stubbornly carrying my pack until Logrono made the injuries much worse than the incident itself, and I was on the point of aborting my Camino. But I decided to buck convention, bought a small golf cart and pulled my pack along until I could ditch the cart (near Castrojeriz) and carry the pack again . PRO : it was the only way I could continue the Camino, and it allowed me to do the journey and still walk into Santiago more or less on schedule. I felt guilty for a while but I was still "carrying" my stuff under my own steam, and in fact a greater load with the cart. CON : there are certainly issues with some terrain - it's not an easy option at all - boulders and mud (December walk). And it even created some additional strain on the good arm and body due to different posture. So pulling a trailer by the hip could help avoid the secondary impact. Simple point I wish to offer : if it's the only option which allows the completion of the Camino, well, then it's the only option. It's not a 2nd best. It's the best in the circumstances. [/QUOTE]
