Tom Conklin replied to the thread Ultreia Sudoe.I was on the Lebaniego last fall and the signage was absolutely fantastic in both directions. It was the Holy Year so a big effort was put in. I'm not sure if the Holy Year extends into this year but the signage should still be good. After the... -
Tom Conklin replied to the thread Camino San Salvador.You might also think about going south from the Norte from San Vincente de Barquera onto the Labiniego/Vadiniense and then up the Salvador from Leon. I did it this past fall. The L/V is very quiet and a bit more expensive, but the views are...

Tom Conklin replied to the thread Kidney stones and the Camino.I had my first stone over 30 years ago and I've had two or three serious incidents since so I am well aware of tests and treatments! The big change in that time is medication. As I said earlier Naproxen (a strong anti-inflammatory) and Flomax...

Tom Conklin replied to the thread Kidney stones and the Camino.Interesting thoughts and what I am wondering about as well. The physical exertion suggestion is one that has not crossed my mind outside of the dehydration issue. I am also wondering whether the sliced meats and other Camino staples might also be...
