      Chizuru replied to the thread Poles or No Poles?.
      Hi Claire, Firstly, no matter what, have a wonderful adventure. In looking over the answers, the ones who are only so-so about using poles are the one-pole users which is probably because they don't get many benefits with only one pole. One pole...

      The use of a single pole is (he says, stating the bleedin’ obvious as usual) - is as a walking stick. Some people swear by their one pole, using it for balance and other purposes, but the biomechanics are not comparable with the correct use of...

      I am on the Camino with a tiny hairdryer weighing 28grams, total pack 6kg. I am currently drying my socks with my hairdryer and two fellow pilgrims waiting in line to use it after a very wet day!!!
