      HappyValerie reacted to ivar's post in the thread The Camino for LGBTQ with Like Like.
      Xose is a great guy... he stopped by my office the other day. I was not able to help him much, but I told him that a post on the forum might be a good idea. As you can see by his profile (link above) he works at the History Department of the...

      As a fellow UK national, actually the systems aren't that different. Many of the costs of rescue and treatment which would be met by taxpayers (ie NHS services) for a UK citizen are now supposed to be billed to foreign nationals, presumably to be...

      HappyValerie reacted to Kathar1na's post in the thread €12000 fine on Route Napoleon? with Like Like.
      I'm sorry to say so but this discussion does not lead anywhere other than perhaps to a thread closure. There is no market full stop. The decree about the legal ban is issued by the government of Navarra. They issue this decree every year for the...

      I'm not sure it has been explicitly said yet, so I'll just say it here: take breaks! You don't need to walk 20km in one go - and only very few people would on the Camino. There is nice places to stop and enjoy the view, there is bars, etc. For...

      HappyValerie reacted to Rex's post in the thread Cancelling Camino - Soliciting Advice with Like Like.
      As I prepare to start another leg of the Via Francigena, I'm noting that my pack weight has dropped for each of the caminos I've done. Reduce that weight to 6 or 7kg and you'll be fine. Delayed onset muscle soreness (known as DOMS in the...
