    Anamiri replied to the thread Rip off Restaurant.
    The sort of place where you pop in to buy one lavendar plant, one thing leads to another and you end up needing a trailer to get everything home. To avoid this I always take my small car (without a tow bar), never our ute, as that's a recipe for...

    And especially annoying to the residents of the small villages on the Camino! Yes - they give me a good rhythm. They also help my posture, especially when my center of gravity is off while I'm wearing a pack. Good posture keeps my back from...

    ...I am on day eight of walking the Francés at the moment. It is quite busy. A lot of talk about beds (and the need to book ahead). I don't book. Today I tried really hard not to get a bed. I really tried. Got up late. Took my time to pack...

    I didn't have any injuries when I started my 2016 Camino. By the time I finally gave in and got them, after some real knee problems, I was very happy to have them. I've brought them on all subsequent Caminos and continued to be happy to have...

    I saw a fellow with a glass of wine in the back garden and asked where he procured it; subsequent questions revealed I had a multiple-Camino history and spoke English, and yes I was on Ivar’s Forum…the rest is history! (Not sure how Alex and...

    I started from Pamplona this morning for a quick week walking before starting service as a hospitalera next week back in Pamplona. The trail up to Alto de Perdón has only a few big puddles left after last week’s rain, with good stepping stones to...

    Anamiri replied to the thread Poles or No Poles?.
    I'm a relatively recent convert to poles, pity I didn't discover that earlier. For me, they make the difference between arriving knackered with sore knees and feet, and arriving with energy to wander around town. At home I tend not to use them as...

    Take them. A couple of kilos off every step you take for 26/27 days? Certainly worth it. If you were just walking the last few days it’s no big deal either way. Have you figured out how to fit them and use the wrist-strap? I was sceptical when...
